The approach, meanwhile, is anything but simple. A melancholy composer whose live sets can raise blisters in a club, Cooper is as comfortable writing abstract electronica as he is writing dancefloor techno 12"s . A rationalist with an otherworldly, idealistic side, Cooper is also a wildly creative musician who until recently had a day job as a sober scientist.
And he's swung from extreme to extreme since he first took to the decks 11 years ago.
As Cooper sees it, there's conflict, but it's part of the music-writing process. Each side of his personality sparks ideas off the other, and what remains constant is his own unique and starkly emotional style. From his breakthrough trilogy of "Serie" releases on Traum Schallplatten - the first released in 2009 and with each track inspired by a different scientific or mathematical concept - Cooper has built a reputation for one-off originals, killer remixes and challenging DJ and live sets.
Since his first release in 2007, his back catalogue now includes two mainstream Hype Machine smashes with reworks of Hot Chip and Portishead, several Beatport genre top 10s, work with the visual artists Whiskas fX and Nick Cobby and an increasing number of collaborations with artists a long distance from Cooper's dancefloor beginnings.
With his time now mainly spent writing and touring music, Cooper continues to release his own originals, with The End Of Reason described by Resident Advisor as "a truly sublime beatless tour de force that recalls Philip Glass, Aphex Twin's most serene moments and even Henryk Gorecki's Symphony No. 3", and the UK's IDJ magazine saying that Cooper "consistently proves himself to be one of the most peerlessly beautiful recording artists in modern dance music". Stark, emotive and original, Cooper is, according to Skrufff.com, "One of the greatest new talents to emerge on the dance scene in the last few years".

I've grown ine the MTV era, with all those commercial stuff, my first favourite bands were "Nu-metal" as Linkin Park, Rammstein, Korn and Limp Bizkit. Therefore I always asked for a saturated guitar to mark a dynamic moment in a track. I've played guitar and bass for 10 years, saying electronic music is soulless and repetitive. Then I turned 21 and started to be curious about the actual electronic music. I've asked a coworker that seemed to be really into minimal techno to advice me.
That's the way I heard Max for the first time, along with Trentemoller, btw.
I really found that it was lacking energy, dynamicity, body.
And here's me 2 years after, sleeping, working and chilling along with my favourite minimal techno artists, with Max being the first.
And when I first heard this track 3 months ago, when it came to vocals, I had a huge adrenaline strike which I've never exeprienced even with the most aggresive and energetic styles of music.
This track purifies me in a way, but also gives me a huge punch in the face for the whole day, somehow.
Speaking like on drugs but i'm actually not.

I love it when minimal music goes a bit, cold? disconnected? you expect it to be boring but its not.

Levan Lursmanashvili I agree!

@G K Yeah man I came from a very rock/indie side of things but electronic music has been slowly drawing me in over the past year. Now I listen to mainly electronic and artists like Max, Christian Loffler, Jon Hopkins, Kiasmos, and Moderat are my favorite. I'm so glad I made this genre transition as I legitimately never enjoyed music this deeply. Even starting to learn some for my own :)
