MAX COOPER - BLEEP MIX #162 (258kbs-m4a/125mb/68mins)
Bleep podcast: 8th February 2021
Mesh; the name brings to mind an underlying foundation, a wire frame for a crafted piece of art to ensure structural integrity. It's an apt name for multimedia artist Max Cooper's electronic imprint, where the MO is clattering rhythms and voluminous ambient vistas; sound as a vehicle for big ideas. Cooper's exclusive Bleep mix celebrates the achievements of Mesh with a collection of works from their discography, featuring the ambient swells of Rob Clouth and some especially crisp breakbeat re-alignments from the likes of Reid Willis and Synkro. To top it off, there's a couple of unreleased Cooper numbers you won't hear anywhere else.
"Hi Bleep and listeners, many thanks for getting me involved on your awesome mix series. I've been really excited about the music we've been releasing on Mesh recently, so I decided to combine a lot of Mesh content with Laurel Halo's beautiful new remix of the Glassforms EP with Bruce Brubaker on Infine, and a couple of unreleased bits fresh from the studio which I've been playing around with in recent weeks and which probably won't be heard in their Bleep mix form anywhere else as they're still actively evolving pieces. It's a wander through some of the music which I've been using for escapism in recent times, rich with narrative and imagery if you can spare me some time with headphones on and eyes closed." - Max Cooper

BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 30th June 2023
Acclaimed musician, sound designer and creative Max Cooper throws down this week's ICONS mix ahead of his first new music of 2023. As he continues to cut a unique and noteworthy path, the intensely explorative Motif EP sees the London based audio-visual artist breathe impressive life in multiple directions and requests our own imagination to see the full picture. Released on his own Mesh label, Motif EP is composed by a producer capable of dismantling genres to render them brighter, bolder and ultimately more personal, demonstrating the rich purity of his craft and how his music can be expressed as both a flagrant and elegant listening experience at once.

Revisiting a brilliant atmospheric mix from Max Cooper. First broadcast in 2015, the mix features music from Burial, Nils Frahm, Rockwell, Dorian Concept and Boards of Canada.
"I wanted to make this mix a fusion of everything that I love most about music, without any restraints. As a result it plays a little like a trip through the inside of my head. I was lucky enough to receive some amazing unreleased tracks from some of the best out there; Nils Frahm, Lusine, Rob Clouth and Tim Hecker. I've hidden a couple of new tracks of mine in there too. I hope there's something in there you enjoy!". Max Cooper February 2015
