===== Biography =====  

Miles from Mars is a South African electronic music duo composed of Max Kibble (aka Maximilian) and Shane Renew (aka Deadbeat FM)【^1】. Based in Cape Town, the pair have over 25 years of combined experience in production and DJing, merging their sonic identities into a hybrid of psychedelic techno, progressive house, and dystopian electronica【^2】.  

Their sound is defined by groovy leads, pounding basslines, and a cinematic approach to dancefloor storytelling. They’ve released on respected labels including Zenon Records, Digital Structures, Alpaka MuziK, Stereo Society, Techgnosis, Stone Seed, Iboga Records, and atto music【^2][^3】. Their remix work includes collaborations with Perfect Stranger, D-Nox, Kalil, Tom Baker, Greenwolve, and Electrypnose【^2】.  

Miles from Mars have played at major international festivals including Boom Festival (Portugal), Ozora (Hungary), Modem (Croatia), Son Libre (France), and Esoteric Festival (Australia)【^2][^4】. Their sets are known for high-impact transitions, deep psychedelic layering, and a commitment to original material.  

Recent releases such as “Sicka” and “D.O.S.E.” on Alpaka MuziK and “The Substance” on Digital Structures have charted across Beatport’s techno and progressive categories【^3】. Their remix of “Headbanger Boogie” by Headroom (SA) on Iboga Records further cemented their reputation in the global psy-tech scene【^2】.  

Miles from Mars continue to evolve their sound while maintaining a strong presence in both South African and international underground circuits.
