Hypothesis: Meshing together the forces of science and music, Max Cooper uses these two components as his ongoing source for inspiration in making music.
Results: a rather impressively huge discography that outweighs all the hard work of your average boffin, as well as a uniquely emotive take on the subject of science and philosophy.
Max Cooper's first foray into concocting sounds began while doing a PhD in Genetics, and it was during this time that he found himself bagging the honorary title of 'future hero' from Mixmag and appearing on BBC Radio 1. Since then, Max's profile has continually risen with a string of releases and remixes on Evolved Records and Cologne big guns, Traum. But it doesn't stop at music; Max has gone on to take his interest of science further by collaborating with visual artist Whiskas fX. Along with Max's melodic production style, the two have made a series of neat little experimental films with some rather nifty, yet haunting graphic work. It seems clear that Cooper is a very ambitious chap and, with such a broad range of musical styles, one to keep a close eye on.
Our resident Monday-shy stopouts, Wetyourself, will have Max Cooper performing live on Sunday 9th May. And, if he hasn't already got enough on his plate, Max was even kind enough to hook you all up with a live mix, featuring a diverse palette of artists that Max has remixed for (Hot Chip, Peaches and Traum buddies Dominik Eulberg and Extrawelt), as well as many of his own productions. Expect an array of styles from the hypnotic, to the emotive, to the downright bopping. Judging by what's on offer here, Max's set 9th May will be a beautiful way to see out the weekend.
