So, it's my next album single, and this time it's a bit crunching. There is a reason for this abomination lacking softness or melody though - the album is called "Human", and it's my attempt to translate some common themes about the human condition, into musical form. And of course not everything about being human is beautiful or pleasant - we experience all sorts of things, and this one is about the impacts of life, in the form of pounding mechanical collisions. It's a club track really, and if you've seen me in recent months you've probably had your face smashed by it a little - sorry about that!

Big thanks to Pitchfork for featuring this along with the amazing acid-style excursion from Gabe Gurnsey of Factor Floor.....AND....watch out for the Perc mix coming very soon, which takes the track to whole new labels of abrasion.


Here is the press spiel in case more info and fafferage is needed -

An album that sets out to examine sonic extremes, Max Cooper's debut Human juxtaposes a whole range of electronic styles:  lush orchestration fighting savage distortion, and clinical digital sound anchored by warm analogue grooves.  And nowhere is that restless curiosity to experiment as apparent as the contrast of the first and second singles - first, the delicate and downtempo Adrift, versus this second release, Impacts, the roughest, toughest sampler workout Cooper has produced.
On the album, they're sequenced in a focused line to be the centre of the album's first act and then its midpoint, before the album's more experimental final act.  But as a single on its own?  Impacts is a stop-start stomper that has had festival crowds asking WTF!?!? for months now, and the album's only purely dancefloor moment - as far from voguish k-house sounds as it is.  

But despite the harsh uncompromising sonic contrast - and this is a track that grunts into focus like a sledgehammer picking a fight with a gang of hi-hats - Impacts is, to Cooper's mind, actually something very optimistic.  It's the sound of a person beaten again and again by life, but each time bouncing back and wanting more.

For the remixes, Cooper has gone for two artists with their own take on high-contrast sonics.  Gabe Gurnsey of Factory Floor has folded his band's hypnotic acid tweaking into the original's rasping beats, and Perc has gone balls out with an take-it-or-leave it experimental sub-lead mix for the serious heads and big systems.

Soma welcome back PROJECT AKC for his 4th outing on the label with another 3 top quality tracks in Cabin Pressure. AKC has definitely left his mark on Soma since debuting in early 2013 and this new EP from him further develops his sound

Badass, rolling beats are the order of the day for Cabin Pressure. Tight, minimalistic drums are bolstered by quirkly vocal hits and short & stabby, percussive synths. AKC shows off his talent for crafting a funk laden tech track

YOLI is another suitably big number and AKC delivers 2 versions of this. YOLI is a strong, bass laden, big room techno track whose powerful and well-defined grooves are manifested through AKC’s exceptional use of slightly dubbed out percussion, heavy delays and repeating snare rolls.

Yet another dance floor stormer from PROJECT AKC who is undeniably one of Soma’s most prolific artists.
