New Year’s Eve is here and in honour of the occasion, we’re forgoing our characteristically downtempo Sunday Mix for a special weekend instalment of our flagship series, with Max Cooper at the controls. Bookmark this one for whatever you have in store for this evening – or any other occasion, of course.

In his own words, the innovation-driven producer and visual artist opts for a “psychedelic techno adventure” featuring tracks from JakoJako, Barker, Oliver Coates, Rival Consoles, ANNĒ and Venetian Snares. “Lots of melodies and beautiful feelings to get lost in," Cooper begins, "but also lots of unexpected turns and mind-mangling soundworlds, and plenty of genre-hopping so you never quite know what's around the next corner."

Crack Mix 541: Max Cooper

Recorded 3rd December 2013 for XLR8R Podcast episode 324, XLR8R said at the time:

The calendar only flipped to December a few days ago, but it seems that much of the music world has already begun to set its sights on the end of the year. More specifically, everyone seems to be looking back at the last 11 months and evaluating what pieces of music were amongst the year’s best. XLR8R is no different, and when our list of 2013’s best releases surfaces during the next few weeks, there’s little question that Amygadla, the long-awaited sophomore LP from DJ Koze, will make the cut. It’s been a big year for the veteran German producer, which is why we thought he would be an excellent candidate to put together the final XLR8R podcast of 2013. Over the past decade, DJ Koze has built up a reputation as a sort of lovable oddball, and this exclusive mix will do nothing to contradict that image. Much like his own work, the podcast is loosely rooted in house and techno, but its 70-plus minutes of music also reaffirm that Koze isn’t someone who’s afraid to color outside the lines. Armed with a playful spirit and a genuine sense of humor, Koze seems as comfortable dropping esoteric spoken word and bizarre outtakes from Marvin Gaye as he does stringing together warm slices of rich, organic house music. Oh yeah, he also manages to slip in a couple of conscious hip-hop tracks along the way. In short, it’s not the average podcast, but it’s not like we expected something “normal” with DJ Koze at the helm.

Celebrating their second album after ten years, Kiasmos’ Janus Rasmussen offers a veritable who’s who of kindred spirits in the global club scene with his mix for Bleep. From soft piano led compositions to four to the floor techno, orchestral whispers and gliding synths, and emotive club action are the name of the game here, evidenced in the smooth flows and bright, crackling garage rhythms of Gryr’s ‘Letter’, or the moody sonics of Gidge’s ‘The Fells’ reverberating into lush, crisp Nordic air. Peppered with entrancing vocal cuts and raging bass-centred tracks, this mix strobes with epic highs and ghostly passages.

"For this mix, I aimed to create a laid-back vibe that gradually builds towards a dynamic finish, featuring energetic grooves from artists like Nox Vahn and O’Flynn. These tracks are a blend of my go-to selections for DJ sets, alongside some new discoveries that have been on repeat while working from home. I hope you find some inspiration in this selection and enjoy the journey." - Janus

I've been playing some long dj sets recently as part of an All Night Long tour. I have recorded two sessions for you, of nearly 6 hours each, from the London and Amsterdam legs which you can download from here via the mailing list:

http://www.maxcooper.net

The All Night Long tour has given me the opportunity to really explore the music that I love in a live setting, and experiment more than is usually possible when playing with other DJs.

The sets go right through my favourite genres from ambient and post classical to downtempo, house, electronica, techno, glitch and even some of my old drum and bass records when I could get away with it.

Thanks you for your support and listens, I hope you enjoy the recordings, and hopefully catch you out at a show sometime soon.

And big thanks to Colin Droz for the great original hand-drawn artwork for the mix!
