Interview with Maximilian Klee – Why KBC is the place to be
Q: On the KBC careers page, we list you as a Senior Partner & DJ next to your photo. How does the consultant—typically dressed in a suit and tie and exuding a serious demeanor—fit with the DJ—recognizable by his constant foot-tapping, the beat in his blood, the music in his ears, and the enthusiasm on his face?
A: Both—consultingand music—require passion, enthusiasm, and a love for what you do. Only then can you be good at it and inspire others—whether on the dance floor or in a project.
Q: Dj_mata_munich, when looking at your Instagram profile, your huge number of followers immediately catches your eye. Right now, you have around 36,0000!!! But be honest—with your busy schedule as a senior partner, how often do you actually get to DJ?
A: Unfortunately, far too rarely. These days, it’s almost exclusively for friends at private parties. And, of course, at the various KBC events, such as our annual company outing—that’s an absolute must on my DJ calendar.
Q: Are there any gigs that have stuck with you?Andwhere would you like to DJ someday?
A: I definitely played my best sets at the boat parties in Passau and Berlin—with 300 people watching the sunset. I was most nervous before my first Ibiza gig at Coco Beach on Playa d’en Bossa. If I could make a wish, it would be to play at the Nassau Beach Club, of course.
Q: What kind of music do you like/play?
A: Electro, preferably monotonous and dry.
Q: What's your current favorite hit? And which DJ would you like to meet in person?
A: A fellow DJ once coined the phrase: “There are no old or new songs, only good and bad ones.” That’s true. My clear all-time favorite is “Time” from 2011 by the Pachanga Boys—please listen to it loud. I’d probably love to meet Mladen Solomun someday—he also got his career off to a late start—maybe he can give me some tips!
Q: Last question, DJ Mata—where does your name come from?
A: It's simple. Mata stands for "Max dances." And I really love doing that!
