Mesh Mix Series 026: Max Cooper

It was so great to be back at Full Moon Gathering to celebrate 31-Year Anniversary!

26 of those years I have been an active Moontribe resident DJ, but it had been almost 2 years since my last visit.  Living in Oregon  makes things difficult, the stars have to align just right... and they did!

This is one of my favorite sets I've played!  I dug hard through my music, taking advantage of a months-long process of organizing and labeling my entire music collection.

Many thanks to the artist for producing the beautifully hypnotic tracks I wove together on this mix!  Without you, there is no mix, and there are no DJs <3

Ben Annand Live at Moontribe FMG 31-Year Anniversary (3-hr techno set)

This is my personal favorite set I played at Burning Man 2024 due to it's uniqueness and the vibes of the camp.  

It wasn't a huge crowd but it was contained nicely and people were down for the musical journey with me :). 

Musically it's varied and pretty hard to put into a genre but leans techno with some bubbly, melodic, progressive, and ravey energies

Thanks much to Jack Donevan for having me play, I had a blast!

Hope you enjoy, and hope to see you on the Playa in 2025!

Ben Annand Live at Burning Man 2024 - 3 - Thursday 2am at Syncitium

I've been listening to Essential mixes since I first started getting into clubs and electronic music, so it was a shock, and exciting for me, to get the offer to make one myself. The two hour format really allows some time to explore ideas musically as well.

So bringing everything together, I decided to try and make it an exploration of everything that has made me so obsessed with electronic music for the last 20 years, with some of my favourite records from the mid 90's, unreleased material from my favourite artists like Nils Frahm, Lusine, Tim Hecker and Rob Clouth, and a range of genres from ambient to 90 bpm electronica, house and techno, all the way up to 170bpm glitched jungle mayhem - I thought, why not have some fun with it!?

So it's certainly not a normal club mix, it's just what I think is the best music out there, without worrying about what genre or box any particular track fits into or how things should be done "properly". I wanted to leave some sections quite ambient as well, to give breathing space between the peaks, so I'm happy to be able to post this new version up, minus the broadcast talking and idents.

The mix also contains some new work from me, some unreleased, and two tracks from my new EP with Tom Hodge, one of which you can download for free from here www.maxcooper.net, the other you can download from iTunes - http://hyperurl.co/MCartefactEP - or Beatport - http://btprt.dj/1DHZhHk

There are just a couple of parties that I play enough times to make a completely specific set for each time, and make it my absolute best.

One is Lightning in a Bottle, which I'm not a resident of but have played 7 of the last 8 fests.

I've prepared for many different time slots at LIB, always looking at this large and spectacular festival as one where people primarily want to dance and have fun.

So I ramp up my funk and vocals (usually playful but i did have one protest lyric in this year's - you can't miss it).  

I lean on the uplifting side, spend a lot of time choosing music and organizing a playlist so i can play appropriately for my time slot and come back thinking it was one of the best sets I've ever played.  

Something that was different for me this year is I took a year and a half off from buying new music prior to LIB in order to reporganize my collection, which now spans 30 years.

Sometimes it's better to understand better what you already have before adding to a massive music collection.

But I never intended my break to be that long!  It just kept going.  And I had a couple of hard drive farts in the middle which didn't help.  

But anyway,  I started buying music again about two months ahead of LIB because I wanted to play an all new music set,  and I also wanted to to  take the time to understand the new music very well.

The problem with playing all new music at a gig is that I don't always take the time to understand it well enough to know if it's as good as the music I already have.  It's fun because it's new... but is it really adding something?

So this time I really took the time to select tracks - I was picky AF!  
This time I spent a lot of time also to play with my tracks, mix them in different ways and really try to only include tracks that were blowing my mind, so that I could give that to the dance floor.

Also spent a lot of time on tagging producers in this description - hope it helps you to discover some great new artists and music!

Fresh Electro Breaks for Futuristic Lifeforms


Live@Moontribe FMG September 2025

Though not so kissed by sun, nor by mud or dust, our rosy cheeks, tired eyes and pulsing hearts emerged from this mesa weekend no less overflowing with appreciation and joy. Our feet still aching with the memories of the music that moved us through the night. Our bodies contented with the love shared between friends, collaborators, strangers and all.

Recording of our set from Team Everything's Por Vida 2025 at The Bridge in Santa Fe, NM

breathe.025 - Rick Inserra
October 2025

Returning after a brilliant contribution to the series with breathe.005, @ricardo323 has been in the lab and produced another fantastic mix that covers a whole lot of ground musically and is stitched together ever so delicately. 

The quality on this mix is top notch and encompasses everything that we love at breathe.

Here are some words from the man himself...

"It's taken a long time (almost 8 years) to put together another set for the Breathe, over this time I slowly collected special tunes for the purpose of making this. 

The set takes you though a journey of some of my favourite Ambient, Down Tempo and Electronica tracks from recent times, as well as some older ones I haven't had the chance to play yet. 

As a DJ who normally plays various house and dance genres, it's great to have a platform to share the other styles of music I've always had a passion for. Glad to be part of this Podcast once again, hope you find it was worth the wait - as I have.

Enjoy, Rick"
