PREMIERE : Les Fils Du Calvaire - Rester Avec Toi (feat Miss Kittin) - dOP Remix [Circus Company]

2015 saw Stephan Bodzin release his second full length, “Powers of Ten”, as well as a new single on DJ Tennis’ and Tale of Us’ taste making label Life and Death. The album is another magical piece of work that focuses on melody and rhythm, on fat bass and vivid sound design and is a truly captivating journey through the mind, music, body and soul of one of dance music’s truly modern greats. After its release, a great team of modern music makers was enlisted to remix tracks from it: Maceo Plex & Shall Ochin, Fur Coat, Extrawelt, long time musical sparring partner Marc Romboy, Pan-Pot, Max Cooper, Agents of Time, Dominik Eulberg and many more all contributed to what is an essential collection. With a remix of ‘Sleepless’, a Pan-Pot track from their latest album, Stephan Bodzin closed the latest chapter of 2015 in what has been an exhilarating musical journey in his capable and creative hands.

@EliasAbid - Falling Seas (feat. aura)
track 1 of 8 off Мишка Records [@bloglin] "TOKENS" Compilation Album

Lyrics:
I want you to remember me /
I won't become a memory /
My destiny is calling me /
I'm standing under falling seas / I feel the pressure / 
Oh yeah it's coming down /
Keep giving me the runaround /
Find me when the sun is down /
The light can't pierce the water / go down to where it's darker /
Where I go you cannot follow / don't even try to follow me /
Ocean waves are crashing down all around my head /
It's sink or swim / it seems I've lost my breath
Do you remember when I ceased to be the same? /
Just wanted them to know my name 

Elias Abid - Falling Seas (feat. aura)

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.

The Dying Seconds - Mora Minn (Eli Nissan & Jenia Tarsol Remix)

Scattered has evolved significantly over the years, being born out of a messy late night writing session after a disappointing club night. The track was raw and powerful when it was first written but we felt it lacked depth. After several different versions over many years and a lot of different melodic lines we came up with the main arpeggiated lead that elevated the track into the raw and emotive piece we are proud to present today.

Scattered is out today on Max Cooper's label - Mesh - as part of our debut 6 track EP 'Cairn'.

You may well have already noticed my mentions of Rob Clouth.  He’s one of the best producers there is, in my opinion.  Such original, hyper-detailed beautiful sound design and melodic forms, the complete package really.  So I’m really excited to have him join the Mesh label with me, with his first EP out today - Full EP stream and downloads here: https://lnk.to/1TransitionEP

The “Transition” EP is a summary of the production techniques Rob has developed over the years, and is accompanied by an audio-visual system Rob created which presents every sound he’s ever worked with, all 50,000 of them in mad granulated chaos, here: http://www.robclouth.com/transition


His approach of creating his own software and unusual techniques shines through musically, and I hope some of you enjoy it as much as I do.

For ambient lovers I suggest checking the title “Transition” track first, and for those of you after something more club-oriented then “Shedding Layers” is, well, try it out and you’ll see what happens, it’s been one of the biggest tracks in my sets of recent months.

Lots more amazing music for the label on the way soon!

OUT NOW: lnk.to/Dust-EP

Following on from his acclaimed 2017 debut album and an accompanying EP that relaunched the legendary British label, Novamute, Nicolas Bougaïeff presents a three track EP on Max Cooper’s Mesh imprint out June 26th. ‘Dust’ borrows its name from a short story by Greg Egan, in which a future scenario grants humans the ability to duplicate their consciousness as software, thus experiencing immortality.

Inspired by this narrative, Nicolas decided to focus on the experiences of the main character, who observes himself becoming increasingly disordered in his surroundings. As such, the EP is equal parts exhilarating and disturbed, taking references from melodic techno and distorting them into new forms amongst vast, unfamiliar landscapes.

‘Dust’ presents a glitchy melodic lead which unravels itself through 7 minutes of sudden volume changes and expansive acoustics. ‘Bremsstrahlung’ deconstructs the components of a hypnotic techno track, repurposing them into a tense framework. ‘Dust Theory’ morphs the theme from the title track into an abstract cocktail of ambient wanderings and harsh noise pollution.

Excited to drop this new one with my boys @LZRD. I’ve spun it out a ton and it’s a verified heater 🔥🔥Check it out, and let us know what you think in the comments ✌️

Every time I listen to 'Sweet Disposition' I flashback to my childhood. The record has continued to be one of those timeless tracks I keep coming back to time and time again. I wanted to make a remix that allowed me to share it when playing live on the road or at festivals, but teases just enough of the original track to remain recognizable and bring back the original nostalgia. My friends LZRD helped to put bring a harder, unique sound to the concept, we finished it all off together and I’m super happy with how it turned out! -Ed

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."
