Alex Banks is a DJ, producer and multi-instrumentalist from Brighton, UK. Praised by the likes of BBC Radio 6, Mixmag, Clash and Uncut, he makes music aimed at the dancefloor that thrills with its sonic intricacy and warm human feeling.
His prismatic sound design decorates rhythms influenced by jungle, broken beat and dubstep, while techno effects hiss and clank, and off-world IDM melodies snake around the arrangements. Bank’s sound carries instantly recognisable motifs and an impressive quality. All the while he consistently pushes the envelope with an adept technical skill and sound design which commands repeated listens.
‘Projections’ is the title of Banks’ third studio album that is set for release on Max Cooper’s Mesh in summer 2022. Characterised by his passion for analogue gear and experimentation, the work is a pure distillation of his production expertise and love for emotive synth sounds. The project includes visual collaborations with award-winning motion graphic designer Matthew Clugston and Tosh Fieldsend from renowned VFX house The Mill.
His other work includes critically acclaimed releases on Modeselektor’s Monkeytown, Ninja Tune and Hunter/Game’s Just This. Remix credits have seen brilliant re-works of Bonobo, RY-X and Raven Bush. On the collaborative front Banks is just as selective, linking with Max Cooper and Sasha respectively, the latter set for an April release on LNOE as part of the ‘TEN’ compilation. 
A musical polymath, when not immersed in the electronic world, Banks works as a sound designer, composing for film, TV and advertising campaigns. Notable achievements include projects for Global brands such as Nike, Heineken and Honda. 
Alex Banks is entering a fresh and exciting chapter in 2022. A master craftsman in the studio pushing his sound into inspiring new directions, he'll augment the eclectic  'Projections' project on Mesh with a new live AV set up, taking his creative output to a new level.

İzel Baybars, as known Pleizel in music industry, was born in 1992 in Istanbul. By stepping into the technical part of music on her very young ages, she decided to continue her education and career on this path as an audio engineer. After taking part in various TV series, movies and 3D projects as sound designer for 10 years, in 2019 she started to work on her first album which is published it in 2020 and now she is performing it as an analog equipt live show.

Istanbul-born electronic music composer, producer and sound designer Non Square, known as Korhan Oraydın is starting to strongly carve out his own position within the electronic IDM music sphere. This project seeks to touch the lives of many by creating its own sonic realities where it combines different technical disciplines and genres such as glitch, techno, ambient and noise.
Korhan Oraydın became the co-founder of Turkey’s first game-audio studio, Dound Sesign in 2010. In 2015 he decided to focus on his musical output and took part in the Explorer#2 compilation of the French record label, InFiné Music. Shortly after, Oraydın had to take a professional hiatus after having been diagnosed with a health condition, in which he took 3 years out to recover. 2018 saw a promising return back to his passion, Oraydın began working on new pieces under his current stage name, Non Square and one of his tracks was featured by new media artist Refik Anadol in his 2019 exhibition, Infinite Space at Artechouse in Washington, DC and Miami.
Non Square spent his formative years working in many studios in Istanbul, such as Melodika, Jingle Jungle and Istanbul Studios, and studying music education at Bilgi University receiving his B.A. in sound arts and music technologies at Yıldız Technical University.
Having worked in different fields as a sound designer, producer and sound engineer, at the beginning of 2020, he met electronic audio-visual artist and producer Max Cooper through mutual friends Özge Cöne and Rival Consoles and through this meeting joined the London-based record label Mesh founded by Cooper. The 4-track debut EP titled "Hold On" was released by Mesh in November 2020, which premiered on BBC Radio 6 Music by Mary Anne Hobbs. In August 2021, his remix was featured in Max Cooper's Yearning For The Infinite Remixed LP along with remixes from Josh Wink, HAAi, Rob Clouth, Steffi, Fort Romeau and Max Cooper. In October 2021, his second 4-track EP titled "Simple Things in Hard Times" was released with Mesh label. Meanwhile he performed at venues such as the Istanbul Biennial, Salon IKSV, Roxy.

Max Cooper is an electronic composer, multi-disciplinary artist, music label founder and former scientist who has carved out a unique space in music and visual art.

He holds a PhD in computational biology at the same time as being the first contemporary electronic musician to perform at the ancient Acropolis theatre in Athens and one of the first clutch of musicians to produce in Dolby Atmos.

Cooper has enquired for over 15 years through music, collaborations, and his label Mesh, to explore the intersections between the arts and sciences with installations, performances, immersive experiences, online media, music videos and live events.  Anchored throughout is his emotive approach, connecting how ideas and forms feel, in a manner accessible to us all. 
 
As an artist synonymous with the evolution of club culture, Cooper honed his craft as a DJ with a 10 year residency at legendary Midlands techno event Firefly where he formed a foundational relationship with Architecture Social Club, with whom he still collaborates on extravagant immersive installations.

"I want to encourage the acceptance of electronic music as an art form like any other. Bringing electronic music and abstract audio-visual projects into concert halls, museums and galleries is liberating - the art world opens up doors to communicate in ways that aren’t possible elsewhere."
  
Pivoting from computational biology to electronic music might not seem like the most natural career transition, but for Cooper the commonalities are obvious:
 
"In both fields, you're in a sense, free. Free from the limits of living systems, free from the limits of corporeal sound. The only constraints are in your mind."
