The decks. The screen. The room.
DJ sets, turntablism and bespoke audiovisual performances built around the music — and the moment.

Beat a Maxx is the live practice of Adrian Hall: a DJ and turntablist whose sets bring music, samples, film and custom visuals into the same conversation. From a dance floor to a broadcast commission or a brand-led event, the work is built around the particular energy of the room.
