The launch of Sub Channel Music is the latest achievement of Max Hock, for many better known as Es.tereo or Theme. Shaping the 170 genre for almost over a decade now, his name is undoubtedly linked with musical passion and high production skills. Working with Samurai as Theme has been one of 170s best kept secrets, culminating in the acclaimed ‘Passages’ LP in 2017. The cinematic soundscapes Max Hock has woven with his productions made long waves within the scene and were appreciated from music lovers all over the world.

To gain more musical freedom and follow his inner beliefs, Max Hock now founded Sub Channel Music. Starting off with the magnificent "Earthbound EP", Es.tereo is going back to his roots and creates distinctive dark and tribal soundscapes; mixed with a strong organic vibe. To round this EP up, man of the moment - Homemade Weapons - delivers a fierce remix which erupted dance-floors from Berlin to Washington and has proven itself as a serious weapon numerous times.
