Pan-Pot: From an Empty Park Party to Techno's Big Rooms
Two SAE students, a park party nobody came to, a label that found Amelie Lens: how Pan-Pot moved from Berlin minimal to big-room techno over two decades.

Behind the decks, Maxim Schunk plays Techno Bounce: driving kicks, a rolling, springy bassline and a groove that keeps the whole room moving. Club energy that pushes forward and stays danceable.
His productions come from melodic progressive house and EDM. As a DJ, the bounce comes first.

Maxim Schunk is a German DJ from the Düsseldorf area with over 250 million streams on Spotify alone. Inspired by his mother, he started playing the piano at the age of 6. At 14 he began producing digital music and in 2010 he attended a music school in Wuppertal.
In February 2018 he joined forces with Raven & Kreyn and BISHØP to release "My Name" — the breakthrough rework that dominated the Spotify charts. Previously supported by the late Avicii and EDM heavyweights Don Diablo, Tiësto, Blasterjaxx and Fedde Le Grand, Maxim Schunk has been a fixture of the electronic dance music scene ever since.
His 2022 release "Lay All Your Love On Me" alone has surpassed 115 million streams on Spotify, while follow-ups like "Sing It Back", "OMG" and "Lost in You" continue to clock millions every month. After his Embassy One release "Light Up", he returned in 2021 with new music — and hasn't stopped since.
Behind the decks, his sound today is Techno Bounce: driving kicks, a rolling bassline and a groove that keeps the room moving.
