Bio
Key Lean works across trance, progressive house and melodic house and techno, with Jean-Michel Jarre, Vangelis and Edward Artemyev among his musical reference points. The DJ and producer Maxim Mikhailov combines a musical education with an interest in emotive electronic arrangements. His track Jarre appeared in A State of Trance's Top 50 of 2019 programme, and vocal collaborations include work with Kyler England, Ana Criado and Tiff Lacey. Alongside releases through Armada and Suanda, he has developed a substantial progressive catalogue with Protagonist, including Butterflies, Cosmic Feelings and Liminal. His DJ activity extends to the Melodic & Progressive and Progressive Groove mix series, while his earlier work in St Petersburg included organising and performing at the Evolution electronic-music festival.
