Description: when i discovered Max Cooper's "Spectrum" - I couldn't help but sing the melody and lyrics of Röyksopp and Robyn's epic ballad "Monument" over it. So, I decided to try to mash the two together with Ableton's incredible pitch and rhythm tools. I hope you like it!

Cementing himself as an integral part of the French Indie music scene, French producer and multi-instrumentalist Crayon, real name Lauren Larue, signed to Erased Tapes in 2021 to herald in a new chapter in his life.

His two track EP, consisting of Misplaced and Ithinkso, sees him going back to his electronic, UK-infused roots. Whilst the opening song Misplaced — featuring vocals from Gracy Hopkins and Jo Lowenthal of Australian indie band Tora — maintains a clearer narrative; the second is a blend of traditional 00’s uk garage and jazz, almost fully instrumental. It’s this clear contrast the producer wanted to explore further, made possible by spending a month away in Morocco with choreographer Leo Walk and a bunch of other creatives and friends in early 2020. While Misplaced had already been recorded several months before, Ithinkso was sitting comfortably amongst a raft of other unfinished songs in Crayon’s hard drive. “It was only after seeing Leo’s excitement at first listen, and the incredible and abstract dance moves he would throw while discovering the song that I knew I had to do something with it,” the artist recalls.

As he and Leo went to spend a week at Plastician’s mystical domain Jean Francois Fourtou, in the outskirts of Marrakech, they found themselves submerged in a parallel world, surrounded by giant sculptures of insects, and a fully equipped, real sized reversed house. One quiet night they decided to experiment together with Leo repeating specific moves, almost turning himself into a human boomerang, while Crayon’s assignment was to write an assimile yet efficient electronic beat to it. After sampling a very short bit from French Soul singer Enchantée Julia (who Crayon was producing for at the time), Ithinkso was born, named after what they would both hear phonetically from the sample.

Both tracks wouldn’t have been completed without yet another collaborator, Crayon’s then roommate Bastien Brison, a Paris based jazz pianist. Together they held, when Lauren returned from the trip, what they simply called The Jazz Club in their apartment. It was a weekly jam/live painting/dancing event that they opened to a (not so) small lucky audience as a way to cope with the absence of live music, and events in general. Once again, the clear contrast between traditional jazz music and modern sounds and movements, that gave him the urge to make this project.

'After releasing Brecon’s first 6-track EP ‘Cairn’ on Max Cooper’s MESH imprint, BRECON’s music has captured the interest of the industry, securing a number of high profile remixes (Morcheeba, Rob Clouth and Max Cooper) and airplay (BBC 6music, NTS and Giles Peterson’s Worldwide FM). 

Brecon’s answer to this EP comes in the form of a sonically inspiring debut album titled ‘Fore’, which showcases Will Brown’s cerebrally stimulating musical expression. 

What starts as a meandering and sludgy, detuned synth-driven soundscape quickly evolves into a driving and pulsating track with a frenetic energy that feels somehow both explosive and delicate.  The track moves between dense synth harmonies effortlessly taking the listener on a journey into different  dystopian sound-worlds, whilst always feeling like safety is just around the corner.'

[Verse]
A signal fades
The air feels cold
Words like whispers
Stories untold
Your eyes glance
But never stay

[Chorus]
Echos in the static
Calling my name
Frequencies bending
It’s never the same
Can you hear me
Through the noise we’ve made
We're just shadows
Destined to fade

[Verse 2]
We built a world
Came undone
Pieces scattered
Nowhere to run
Two hearts stranded
Incomplete

[Chorus]
Echos in the static
Calling my name
Frequencies bending
It’s never the same
Can you hear me
Through the noise we’ve made
We're just shadows
Destined to fade

[Outro]
Echos in the static (ooh)
Calling my name (name)
Echos in the static (ahhh)
It’s never the same (same)
Echos in the static (oooh)
Can you hear me
Through the static

Les Grandes Marches


In this offering by the Berlin-based and made in the Middle East label D​isco Halal,​we urge you to meet N​adav Spiegel​ better known as @A​utarkic.​ @A​utarkic ​is a self-sufficient artist and live virtuoso, he is the first member of the D​isco Halal ​family which will be releasing his original music.
Coming around the Spring, C​an You Pass The Knife?​And the sum of his parts tries to emphasize a gap, the gap between the diaspora and the long lasting criticism about the homeland.
This mini-LP that contains 6 mesmerizing songs. A​si Keta Ga,​S​olo Gun,​W​atch out,​T​he Misorientation of Autarkic,​U​fo​(​Space Version)​and T​ender Lies,​That might sound like only a combination of random words now, but after being heard, these songs will help you to enter the embodiment of​Autarkic​and allow you to save a piece of his soul on your shelf.
primitive machines and tape loops soundscapes should mark the beginning of a new D​isco Halal​phase. After releasing mainly edits from around the transcultural hemmesphere, the transition to original exquisite music seems to be a necessity.

B1 The Misorientation of Autarkic

Dream Walk

I'm excited to announce the first track from the 'Emergence Remixed' album which will be released in full at the end of March.

This remix comes from one of my absolute favourite electronic producers of the last few years, and someone who is constantly surprising me with each new release - Rival Consoles. 

I've been playing his work in my sets a lot recently too, he's got a great humanised approach to making electronic music, primarily with his hands-on analogue machines and live percussion, which give his tracks a whole load more life than most other producers. 

I have to mention Rival Consoles synth work too, which for me, is the best out there by a mile. He's got a knack for the most beautiful timbral quality and soft full sound. Complemented with his ability for hooks and chords and always developing arrangements, makes for some of the best electronic music out there in my opinion.

So all that said, you can see why I said I was excited to have him involved in the remix package! He's made a brewing club track for this package, all about those beautiful synths and micropitch deviations for me, the quality oozes out with him needing to overcomplicate the mix (like I do!). It's really hard to get each element to such quality to carry a track like that....so hats off from me, and I hope you enjoy it too.

Loads more amazing remixes coming soon from more of my favourite producers - it's a juicy package! We'll put some out to the mailing list first, which you can join below at the end of this description.

The artwork is by Andy Lomas, from his Aggregation series, where he created a simulation of sticky particles which bounce around and are more likely to stick to larger structures, causing biological-esc growth-like structures to emerge. I have one of his huge prints from this series on my wall, the detail at high res is amazing. 

The series was chose for the Emergence album packages as it demonstrates the same principles of mathematical rules yielding unexpected and beautiful outcomes as is shown in the visual story to which the album tracks were scored. Lots of those videos are on this youtube channel, and the whole thing will be released in surround-sound bluray format later this year.

Distant Light (Rival Consoles Remix) [Mesh002]

Here is my Remix for one of my favorite tracks from Max Coopers 'One Hundred Billion Sparks' Album coming soon on Vinyl & digital.

Max Cooper - Rule 110 (Synkro Remix)

First single from the latest audio/visual project, Yearning for the Infinite, Perpetual Motion was written for that moment at the end of the night when all the experiments and madness is over and we just need a nice warm chord sequence to send us home in a good mood. 

The name comes from its role in my new visual show, where it plays that same closing role in the story of humans “yearning for the infinite”. Set to drone footage of people in their endless pursuit of life in Mexico City, combined with epic scientific visualisations of different infinite structures. It’s all part of a project commission from the Barbican, which has spawned this new album and live visual experiment.

For tickets to the show, head to my site https://shop.maxcooper.net/tickets

And big thanks to Renick Bell for the "yearning for the infinite" human!

I recently tried to explain what a major scale was to a friend… when I said “ok so this is “C major” … he asked “why?” 
It’s a really really good question.
