Mesh Mix Series 026: Max Cooper

New Year’s Eve is here and in honour of the occasion, we’re forgoing our characteristically downtempo Sunday Mix for a special weekend instalment of our flagship series, with Max Cooper at the controls. Bookmark this one for whatever you have in store for this evening – or any other occasion, of course.

In his own words, the innovation-driven producer and visual artist opts for a “psychedelic techno adventure” featuring tracks from JakoJako, Barker, Oliver Coates, Rival Consoles, ANNĒ and Venetian Snares. “Lots of melodies and beautiful feelings to get lost in," Cooper begins, "but also lots of unexpected turns and mind-mangling soundworlds, and plenty of genre-hopping so you never quite know what's around the next corner."

Crack Mix 541: Max Cooper

A 57 minutes extended edit version of The Orb's Blue room (1992) with several weird samples underlying the Orb's music. In fact, I have used more than 50 voice samples and extended the track from 34 minutes to 57 minutes with the awesome basslines of The Orb and studio wizardry of Kris Weston. I will remove it upon request. NO LSD was used during this process.

https://soundcloud.com/mattxavier has been a friend of mine for many years now. A fellow music obsessive and trusted voice when it comes to all things ambient, techno, and beyond, we finally managed to meet in person while I lived in Los Angeles, and we stayed connected over music ever since. 

We’ve swapped stories about pressing vinyl and running labels, and he was the reason I first crossed paths with Joel Mull (Damm) at one of his gatherings held at a beautiful Topanga home. It was a serendipitous moment that still echoes today. 

A proponent for the deeper layers found in music, Matt has since become a practician, ambassador, and pioneer for psychedelic soundtracking. Along the way, he shared tracks from ASIP and other labels that were influencing and guiding his private sessions, shaping the grand masterpiece we present to you today. As his practice deepened, we exchanged many texts discussing his ambition to publish a book about his unique experience and include an accompanying mix on ASIP. 

Matt’s new book, ‘The Psychedelic DJ: A Practical Guide to Therapeutic Music Curation and Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy’, (https://a.co/d/5bFxc2h) is a groundbreaking manual for anyone looking to bridge sound and healing. Whether you're a clinician, a DJ, or just someone who knows the power of a well-placed track, Matt’s work will likely reframe how you think about music’s role in inner journeys. 

His isolatedmix is a fully formed and accompanying ‘Protocol’, which is an example of one of his many guided sessions, referred to as “therapeutic DJing.” Psilocybin Therapy Protocol v1.22a, distills his craft and evolution in this practice for us all to dip into at a surface level, providing a peek into what are very personal worlds prepared for his clients. 

Alongside the mix, Matt joins us for a deep-dive interview, discussing his new book, his transition from rave culture to guided sessions, his real-time curatorial method and how music, when chosen with care, can become a tool for transformation.

For the next entry in the Mesh mix series, we welcome Mesh artist Evan Gildersleeve, who brings an hour-long journey weaving together distorted textures, visceral rhythms, and fragmented melodies, unfolding a world that feels both intimate and expansive.

In Evan's own words, 'Having grown up listening to a lot of heavy, guitar based music, I’m often drawn to artists who channel a kind of unwieldy energy. I’ve also become increasingly fascinated by manipulations of the voice, something that appears in many forms across the hour. This mix is very much representative of the artists I admire whose music has had an undeniable impact on who I am creatively. It’s a selection of tracks that I often return to and continue to resonate deeply'.

Mesh Mix Series 031: Evan Gildersleeve

For the next instalment of the Mesh Mix Series, we welcome Berlin-based artist and community leader Llyr to the decks. Known for crafting immersive sonic ecosystems through field recordings, advanced studio techniques, and classic synthesis, he now channels his distinctive sensibility into a mix that reflects the breadth and depth of his sound world.

In Llyr's own words, 'When I was invited to contribute to the Mesh Mix series, I saw it as the perfect canvas for sonic exploration - a chance to traverse different moods, tempos, and energy levels without the constraints of a typical ‘DJ set’. I envisioned something closer to a mixtape crafted for close friends: each track given space to unfold and breathe before colliding into the next, but occasionally veering into club territory.

As I considered what to record for this, I realised I already had something that would fit the bill perfectly: a recording from my series of opening sets for Max Cooper's DE tour earlier this year. Those shows are always a license to go eclectic for an audience eager to hear a wide range of music, and the preparation always involves a deep dive to discover new music and artists that I'm excited to hear on a big sound system.

 The accompanying photograph was taken at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on La Palma, home to some of the world's most powerful telescopes perched at the island's highest point. This photo was taken minutes before the Cumbre Vieja volcanic ridge down below erupted for the first time in 50 years. The juxtaposition of the island's geological forces at work beneath this place dedicated to cosmic observation felt profound: contemplating the vast scale of space while witnessing the earth's own transformative power.'
