Max Cooper – Balance 030

max cooperAhead of tomorrow’s podcast, check out this gorgeous two-hour mix from Belfast-born producer Max Cooper. Featuring new and old favourites from his record shelf, Cooper writes “I wanted to try and approach making a DJ mix as I would an album production project.

“I chopped the tracks up and augmented them with layers of binaural sound and detailing, and tried to make something which despite being built of seemingly misaligned parts from different genres, actually, hopefully, fits together into a coherent storytelling experience.”
