We had the chance to catch some words from the Belfast born DJ and producer Max Cooper amid his ever loaded schedule. Kicking off his career as a DJ in the late nineties, he delved into production by the early noughties only to emerge as one of technos most stylistically identifiable producers. His idiosyncratic approach to production offers a loyalist techno framework whilst breathing fluid melodies into its structures. Having received a PH.D in Computational Biology, Max’s fascination with science, especially genetics, has been a fundamental inspiration for a lot of his music, giving it a unique grounding. With this mind, he released his greatly anticipated debut album titled ‘Human’ last March.
Without handing all power over to the machines, Maxes ability to infuse classic techno with an innate warmth sets him apart from the rest.
