Electronic techno is a genre I really enjoy, and Max Cooper’s ambient techno sets are something that I love experiencing live. The way that he uses the samples on his iPad and skims through hundreds of different sounds recording them live and creating a clever mix out of them in incredible to watch. So many DJs these days simply prerecord their set and do hardly anything live, but Max is the total opposite, playing I’d say about 80% of his work live. Although he’s incredibly focused on getting him music right, he’s also great at interacting with his audience, and performs his music with emotion, and dedication.
His mixing desk was huge, and when he opened with his remix of Sasha, everyone was cheering and dancing for him. A lot of his music bridges the gap between very chilled out music, and more intense techno, but the balance and transitions are perfect to keep everyone dancing and on their toes not knowing what to expect. The great thing about Cooper, is that he is full of energy, and throughout the set it didn’t drop at all, whether it was the mellow tracks with his self directed videos projected behind him, or the dance beats. Everyone loved the show, and he’s a great live performer.
