“Music is a language that connects us with each other and a way to build a community where we all belong”

MAXSEL is a Syrian–Norwegian multi-genre music producer and guitarist based in Oslo. Working across indie rock, progressive rock, and experimental music. he approaches music as a form of communication and a way to express identity, emotion, and belonging through carefully crafted soundscapes.

As a multi‑instrumentalist and producer, MAXSEL builds detailed, immersive mixes shaped by strong melodic ideas, textural guitar work, and a modern, high‑fidelity production style. His workflow blends organic instrumentation with contemporary sound design, giving each project a sense of depth, clarity, and emotional intention.

In addition to his main work under the MAXSEL name, he also runs:

RuhRiot, a heavier studio project exploring progressive rock/metal, grunge, and psychedelic influences. RuhRiot focuses on themes such as mental struggle, resilience, and personal identity — expressed through raw, expressive performances and dense, atmospheric production. 

And WARDEH, an upcoming project blending desert rock with Middle Eastern musical identity. The project combines the raw, open‑sky energy of desert rock with Arabic‑leaning motifs, and a spiritual, atmospheric tone.

For collaborations, production work, or mixing inquiries, MAXSEL is available to artists seeking a sound that is detailed, powerful, and deeply expressive.

RuhRiot

''RuhRiot'' maxsel

''RuhRiot'' A Studio Project With Focus on The Heavier Genres /Taboo Themes

Progressive Rock/Metal studio Project created by MAXSEL

With a lifelong passion for heavy music genres like Progressive Rock, Metal, Grunge, and Psychedelic Rock, I created 'RuhRiot' as a studio project dedicated to the heavier, underground side of music. This endeavor uniquely blends these genres, combining them with lyrics and themes that tackle topics often considered taboo, such as mental struggles, belonging, depression, and adversity. Despite exploring these challenging subjects, RuhRiot maintains a positive outlook on life.
