About the artists

Max Vaahs

Max Vaahs is one of the main DJs of HardWorkSoftDrink collective, founded by twelve friends in the Offenbach and Frankfurt area committed to a range of cross-discipline projects, including music production and a successful vinyl-only record label. Thanks to his determination and a huge vinyl collection, Max is today one of the resident DJs of Robert Johnson in Offenbach am Main, playing several times next to big artists like Ricardo Villalobos and touring all corners of the world in clubs like Contact (Tokyo) and Modeci (Seoul).

Pieter Jansen

Bubbling away beneath the surface of the Dutch scene since the early part of the past decade, Jansen began his career by promoting parties and festivals before dedicating more time to DJing. Jansen chose to champion vinyl from the start. It’s almost impossible to pin Jansen to a specific style or scene; instead, he’s cultivated a personal DJ style that prioritises darker, weirder, and more profound records while remaining firmly focused on the dancefloor. Known for taking risks – both in creating thoroughly inspired mixes and by his chosen records – His style is defined by his ability to explore multiple genres while regularly reaching for electro, IDM, house/techno, ambient and minimalist grooves.
