Falling Down ft. Felix Samuel – Maxim Schunk's Emotional Anthem
Falling Down, the collaboration between Maxim Schunk and Felix Samuel, is one of the most emotionally powerful tracks in Maxim's catalogue. The full story behind the release.
The Meeting of Two Artists
Falling Down brought together Maxim Schunk's production expertise and Felix Samuel's vocal talent to create one of the most emotionally resonant tracks in Maxim's catalogue. From the first listen, it is clear that both artists brought their full creative selves to the collaboration.
The track occupies a space that is rare in EDM — it has the energy to work on a festival stage but the emotional depth to work just as well through headphones at 2am. That dual quality is the hardest thing to achieve and the most valuable when you get it right.
The Production
Maxim built the track around Felix Samuel's vocal performance, which meant the entire arrangement had to serve the emotion of the lyrics rather than the other way around. The result is an unusually organic-feeling EDM track where the vocal genuinely leads.
The drop arrives after a build that is almost uncomfortably tense — a deliberate choice that makes the release feel earned and cathartic rather than mechanical.
Impact
Falling Down earned strong streaming numbers and critical recognition as one of the more artistically ambitious releases in Maxim Schunk's output. It demonstrates the range available to him as a producer and the depth of emotion his music can carry. Stream on Spotify. Follow @maximschunk on Instagram.
