Max Bedeker fell in love with music whilst on holiday in the South of France aged 11. Hearing Sepultura's 'Roots' album for the first time he was hooked, his first act on arriving home was to buy that album quickly followed by those of Metallica and KoRn. From that short Holiday Romance a life long musical love affair was born….
The biggest push for being a producer/DJ however, came at the Benicassim festival, where he went to see 'this dj called Erol Alkan who did that Franz Ferdinand remix that's pretty good'. After a long long day, very tired, he still made it to the stage, and when he saw and heard him play Boys Noize's remix of Tiga - Move My Body, and then dropped Rage Against The Machine's Killing In The Name Of he knew that that's what he wanted to do: Become a dj.
Slowly building up a studio full of analogue gear Max started delving deeper, not only listening to, but studying classic producers such as Giorgio Moroder and Patrick Cowley. Whilst at the same time concentrating on his own productions, making it his number one priority.
Now finally, after the shock-success of his remix, he's ready to take on the world with his dj-sets and productions. Already he's got some releases coming up on Tommie Sunshine's Brooklyn Fire label, Boemklatsch records, and will be producing other artists as well.
Not only that he’s worked with singer songwriters, bands and even recorded a song with Tibetan monks! There's no telling in what will happen next in the world of RipTidE…

-Dem Slackers - Working Title EP
Despite only being 18 years old Dem Slackers has quite a few titles to his name. He found his love for producing about five years ago and decided to spend more time making music in 2008. Since then he has signed two EPs (one on Wearhouse and one on BMKLTSCHRCRDS), made official remixes for Lil’ Wayne, Foamo and Mightyfools and was asked to remix for Kissy Sell Out’s San City High and Bart B More’s Secure Recordings to name a few. Next to producing he also started out DJing not long after, and his live act was soon discovered and praised by many – his tracks are supported by Crookers, Steve Aoki, Fake Blood, Don Rimini, Sinden, Tommy Sunshine, Mightyfools and many more, and with tours in Hungary, Belgium, the Netherlands and England already confirmed it won’t be long for him to take over the world!
