Max Cooper is anything but simple. A melancholy composer whose live sets can destroy in a club, Cooper is as comfortable writing abstract electronica as he is writing dancefloor techno 12"s . A rationalist with an otherworldly, idealistic side, Cooper is also a wildly creative musician who until recently had a day job as a sober scientist. Each side of his personality sparks ideas off the other, and what remains constant is his own unique and starkly emotional style.

Little is known about this producer who seems to have Scandinavian roots. His productions have reflections with Basic Channel/Chain Reaction sound. His main inspirations are Juan Atkins and Derrick May. His music also has influences from Stefan Robbers, Red Planet and Carl Craig. He found a way where everything came together: Deepness, Minimalism and Soul, the Detroit-Berlin connection. In 1994 Gerard Hanson and Dan Kurzius started ‘Hardsync’, a Magazine dedicated to electronic music reviews and artist interviews. It has been defunct since 1996 as a result of a computer crash. Hard Sync was an outlet for several Texas-based electronic music enthusiasts to reach out to others around the world that shared similar musical interests. He released his first 12" on Matrix in 1995. From 1995-1997, he released five ep’s, and then only two more in the next six years until 2005. After that some other labels approached him but just wanted more of the same and didn't really seem to understand his sound. After that he stopped releasing music and produced only for his personal usage. After a couple of years the label Down Low convinced him to pick up his producing again. He is very careful about sharing his music with the rest of the world. In the last decade he only used the aliases Convextion and E.R.P. (Event Related Potential).

Max Cooper tours North America

Starting in mid-January, Max Cooper will head out on a brief tour of North America.

A UK native, Cooper has been DJing for more than a decade but only jumped into making music four or five years ago. Since then he's carved out a niche with his melodic take on techno—his catalog now includes about a dozen releases along with many more remixes for the likes of Hot Chip and Minilogue. His prolific output also means he has plenty of material for his live sets, and he'll perform live at some of these events in the US and Canada.

The tour starts in Seattle at a Decibel party on Friday, January 13th and winds down the following weekend on Sunday, January 21st with a set outside at Igloofest in Montreal. Washington State, United States of America

Jan 13 Max Cooper with Cyanwave, Washington
Jan 15 Max Cooper (Live) San Francisco, Monarch, California
Jan 19 Max Cooper, Habitat, Calgary
Jan 20 Soundslike...Max Cooper Live + Convextion, Sandaga 813, Dallas, Texas
