Max Tundra

Benjamin Thomas Jacobs (born 7 June 1974), more commonly known by the stage name Max Tundra, is an English multi-instrumental musician, singer and music producer. His work is noted for its maximalist approach, which is predominantly electronic music but incorporates non-electronic styles and instruments. Jacobs' production style has been noted as an influence on the hyperpop style which became prevalent in the 2010s onwards.
Other than his full-length albums, he has also done remix work for bands of varying genres including Franz Ferdinand, Architecture In Helsinki, Kid606 and the Pet Shop Boys. In 2018, Tundra wrote and produced the comeback album by Daphne and Celeste, entitled Daphne & Celeste Save the World.
==Links to Peel==
Peel first played material from Max Tundra on his radio programme in April 2000 via his 'Cake' single. His single, 'Ink Me', was nominated by Peel as one of his records of the month for July 2000 (Peel's Record Box) and the album, 'Mastered By Guy At The Exchange', for August 2002 (Peel's Record Box).
In a statement by Max Tundra on his Bandcamp site, he mentioned meeting Peel a couple of times:
"I met John Peel a couple of times. At Sónar in Barcelona he asked me if I'd ever recorded a Peel Session. When I told him I hadn't, he said: "We really must get you in." Sadly he passed away before these tracks (the third-to-last one ever) were broadcast on 14 December 2004, but hopefully he would have found something incisive to say about them."
