::J.P. Maxwell::
Out in the wild lands of the Pacific Northwest, where the wind whispers through ancient firs, lives a fisherman. Every county has its share, sure, but this one's different. Since the 90s, his name has echoed across the Pacific Northwest and beyond: a groove mutator, a wild beat machine some might say. Pinning down his sound is like chasing a mountain mist, but your body won't care. This music's for dance floors, for minds that wander, for every soul seeking a joyful escape.
He's been a family man from the start, though the definition of family might have grown and evolved. Bringing thick vibes, that's just who he is. You might have stumbled into a legendary party he threw years ago, a hazy memory fueled by infectious beats. While he probably doesn't recall every dance floor ignited, trust us – J.P. Maxwell, AKA Maximus is a PNW great.
