born by his mechanical mother heidi wl-5 as maximilian wendling, paradroid is digitally yours since 1971. he absolved trainee lessons in matchbox car driving and 24 hour non-stop quartet playing as well as space pilot training including 3 D fractal error frequency listening - a performance finding it´s prophecy in searching for the aural jesus.

in 1995 he sold his matchy 500 drivers license and started a career as sonic cowboy penetrating the eustachian tubes of mankind in partnership with two technics 1210 and a mixing console. since then he was DJing various styles of electronic music in several clubs in germany like SCHICK & schön (mainz), basement (wiesbaden), fusion-club (münster), nature one (kastellaun), club camouflage (cologne), rotari (offenbach), space-place (frankfurt), palazzo (bingen), u 60311 (frankfurt), nomono (wiesbaden), groove city (mainz), quadrat (giessen), rotor-club (chiemsee), radio hr-xxl (frankfurt), radio-x (frankfurt) and other places.

in 2002 he started producing music supported by digital warfare and heavy DSP armament. paradroid’s music - of course - doesn’t pretend to be as valuable as a ming dynasty vase. compared to vases however (wal-mart or ming doesn’t matter in this case) – it shows one tiny but significant difference: it can bounce without being destroyed. But as a friend of noble porcelain he allows himself baronesque behaviour without any bashfulness or embarrassment. nevertheless his music also invites semi-professional bananastate-listeners to do whatever they want to do with it. as you can see... this is a serious mission !
