“He brought me on stage in front of 5,000 people to play our collab. It was probably the best minute of my entire life.”
Johnny
“I walked away with so much more than what I went in with.”
Gavin
“Everything that I didn't know I needed to know, you filled that gap.”

12 WEEKS FROM NOW,
YOU'RE ON YOUR WAY.
Not just a wannabe, you're a real producer. You have a 4-track EP ready to release, the start of a fan base, and a clear plan for what comes next.
A release plan and career roadmap
Distribution, PRO setup, rollout, and the business steps most producers never figure out alone. You'll know exactly how to put your music into the world, and what comes after.
An artist identity that's yours
You'll walk out knowing who you are as an artist, with branding and positioning built around you, not what the algorithm thinks you should be. Includes a brand sheet you build and keep.
A network you can lean on
You'll join a network of serious producers who will be in this scene with you for years. Collaborators, friends, and supporters who are into the same stuff you are.
YOU'RE READY FOR THIS IF…
You have ideas you can't finish, and you're tired of starting tracks that never see the light of day.
You can produce, but you need advice from someone who has been in the place you want to be.
You're serious enough to commit 8 to 12 hours per week for 12 weeks and ready to invest in your career.
You're ready to stop learning random things on YouTube and start a structured process that will help you reach your goals faster. Shorten your path by years.

FAQ
When does the next cohort start?
January 18, 2027. Applications are open now, and the cohort is limited to 10 producers. Book a call with Max to apply.
How does the application work?
Pick a 15-minute call time that works for you, then answer a few quick questions on the booking screen (about 2 minutes total). The call is where you and Max decide together if the program is right for you. No high-pressure pitch.
What does it cost?
Pricing is discussed on the application call. Artist Accelerator is a serious investment in your career, with introductory pricing that won't return for future cohorts. Payment plans are available.
What genres does Max work with?
Max's artist project Protohype is rooted in bass music, but his teaching covers the full electronic spectrum. He has mentored producers across dubstep, house, tech house, drum and bass, and broader dance music.
How much time will it take?
Plan on 8 to 12 hours per week for 12 weeks. That includes session time, your own production work, and engagement with the cohort. If you can't commit that, this isn't the right time for you.
When are the live sessions?
Group sessions run Monday evenings Pacific Time, with an optional 30-minute Q&A with Max every Wednesday. All sessions are recorded. If you're outside North America and can't make the live times at all, this program isn't the right fit right now.
