the tileyard studio complex in king’s cross is home to gearbox records and mark ronson’s zelig studios, where the tileyard improvisations was spontaneously performed and recorded live. the tracks highlight the extraordinary interplay between kathrin deboer’s sensational improvised vocal performance and the laser sharp lee morgan/freddie hubbard inspired hard bop trumpet of quentin collins, both perfectly set in the grooves and textures of max cooper’s remarkable mixes and soundscapes.

fresh from live performances at bonobo’s outlier festival, the quietus stage at the great escape, and supporting max cooper, london-based production virtuoso guy andrews revisits his acclaimed debut album ‘our spaces’. informed by audience reactions at these shows, he takes two of the lp’s standout tracks and reconfigures them for the dancefloor, with devastating results. meanwhile two like-minded artists tackle the album’s lead single ‘in autumn arms’. max cooper crafts a formidable collage of idm textures, with staccato beats punctuating the lilting guitar riff, whilst dj mag’s former ‘best breakthrough producer’ ben pearce takes the track into the main room, turning in an elemental 4/4 floor-burner.

the second of two remix eps for max coopers debut album human - this one bringing one of the albums most talked about tracks impacts for the first time, with an acid rework by pitchfork favourites factory floor and percs insane, obtuse and uncompromising abstract version. this is also the first release of harvey mckays version of an earlier max track, von der klippe fallen - one long grinding techno beat that opens to the dramatic piano of frequent maxs collaborator tom hodge.

the first of two remix eps for max coopers debut album human - this one with maxs own extended version of sunset track supine, rodriguez jrs deeper house take on the same track, lusines incredible rough rework of woven ancestry, and jack dixons abrasive uk bass version of automaton.

an explosive leap into the full-length format, human is also the debut of one of the most respected producers in electronic music. he has lovingly reworked several key players in the contemporary classic performance scene including michael nyman, olafur arnalds, nils frahm and tom hodge, as well as transforming the work of huge indie stars like hot chip, au revoir simone, braids, and fc kahunas classic hayling into downtempo, meditative masterpieces of glitch, beats and fragility. launch campaign for the album started dec 2013 with single adrift. following dates are part of the human tour, using flyer artwork of the album cover.

max cooper is now on his 12th release with traum and if that was a magic number, he has teamed up with nicolas bougaïeff who is the creative director of liine in berlin.

we release here on vinyl the top tunes from microtrauma for all the fans who were bugging us and were disappointed that they could not get the tracks on record. so now here find a good selection of the strongest tunes by microtrauma based on the feedback of the fans and the feedback in the clubs. the tracks come from the first three releases now for the first time on vinyl. for what is missing we apologize but promise to have the next microtrauma release on vinyl!

it has been half a year since we released the last max cooper ep on traum, so his new finished ep comes in handy for all of his fans and people interested in the grey zone of techno vs. electronica. max coopers new release the >egomodal ep< comes as a 4 tracks ep and adds up to a great piece of music. once again it focuses on dynamics and tangents, along with the concept of complexity and simplicity. the >egomodal ep< stays true to max coopers approach to link a mathematical structure with a simple one. we are happy to say he has succeeded to fuse complexity with variations by still finding time to focus on details and keeping up that nice randomness which makes his music so appealing also for clubbers and djs.
this release is extremely diverse in styles and offers in its vinyl version everything from the dark detroit electro styled techno piece >epitaphy< that evokes old detroit days… to the melodically trembling >autumn haze< that is a huge track because its flow is superbly programmed ... to rippertons mighty house hymn of a remix, ending in the basseline monster >raw< which looses its teeth towards the end.

max coopers returns to traum with his brand new >empirisch< ep. he opens his ep with >echoes reality< and we realise right away this might be another cornerstone of max coopers musical carrier. inspiring and beautifully crafted as it moves from wonderful lush sounds to a sequences of screeching tones and back to heavenly sounds, >echoes reality< shows all signs of an etamorphosis deluxe realised on the highest possible level of production. from roaring basslines to cadillac squeaking tires to ambrosial vocals ... this is max cooper at his best and a true tour de force.

we are sure max cooper does not refer here to one of traum boss triple rs favourite writer thomas pynchon but rather connects here to the technical terminus of the parabolic trajectory often mentioned as rainbow-shaped. nevertheless we wish to express that the transgressive quality of max music, does it question or break down the boundaries and categories of western culture and reason, is a challenge we have at traum always aimed at, with tracks that were very far away from the norm in the same way as maxs tracks are.

incl. florian meindl & max cooper rmx... hammered on beats in space by tim sweeney! hot on the heels of remixing royksopp, dapayk & padberg, juan maclean, crimea x florian meindl has been asked to remix hot chips massive >i feel better<. the result is a nine-minute floor-rocking sonic slayer with huge breaks and deep, meindl-style bass. it received massive ibiza support by the hot chip djs and has been rinsed by florian, to great response worldwide. it is now available on a special flash 500-run limited edition vinyl, boasting an additional hot max cooper remix

max cooper has over the last 2 years become one of the figureheads of modern composed electronic music on traum and is gaining popularity rapidly amongst those who like beautifully crafted and composed electronic music.opening with >ripple< this epic builder, heavy with bass, tripped out fx, haunting abstract vocals, spiced with teasing climaxes,this is surely another top cooper track in the making.

>chaotisch serie< kicks off with a human sound that could only be composed deep in your throat, a sound that can hardly be described in words... rough and smooth at the same time... screaming for help it seems. then suddenly metallic sounds delay and tumble in... turning into an army of steel beetles swarming the place. plunging into a sweet melody that contorts being followed by trippy delays reminding us of the opening sequence of >the hunger< with catherine deneuve and david bowie at a bauhaus concert, we know this track will be huge.

the title of max coopers stochastisch serie ep, refers to his use of stochastic methods, also known as non-deterministic, or random methods of sound generation. stochastic elements referring here mainly to real sounds including vocal experiments and sampled sounds which create a complexity and richness which has been a trademark of many well known traum releases in the past. the london based artist max cooper sees his new 12 inch as a construction of different moods going beyond club music, as witnessed in the past through tracks such as i and end of reason. it is no surprise that dischordance is another one of these timeless pearls alongside these mentioned tracks that have created a fan base worldwide for him. the friction max generates is created by two sides colliding, the synthesised drums and melodies and the random experiments with voice. his dance floor rockers stochastisch serie and mnemonic work in a much more functional way but do include bits of this randomness and therefore are part of the superstructure stochastisch serie. the remix of uk producer leeks is very hip in style and sound and will please a lot of younger djs who love the cool swing and groovyness with music and will find the functionlism here going very strong.

max cooper s >symphonica< ep is based on the combination of the natural imperfection that yields the audible richness of real sound sources such as that of an orchestral symphony, and the mathematical precision such as that used in the synthesis of electronic music for recordings. his 3 tracks plus remixes by perc and marco dassi follow this concept with the melodic and baroque a side >symphonica<.

traum is proud to welcome the new wunderkind from the uk, max cooper. max is a great uk dj who is also involved in mathematical modelling research on the evolution of networks of genes at university college london, a sci-art project combining evolutionary and music production algorithms. max cooper has many lives and he is a true wizard in his category. born originally in belfast he has been resident at the rumour as well as playing his 9th year at clubnight >firefly<. max can be heard regularly djing in the key - london, stealth - nottingham and the cross - london. he was quickly recognised by the media, receiving the label of mixmag future hero . max has joined traum with a 3 tracker involving top english producer kanio for a remix of the a-side track >harmonisch serie<. max coopers innovative programming positions him music-wise alongside artists such as dominik eulberg, minilogue and extrawelt. his epic structure has a unique narrative character to it which distinguishes him from others and sometimes dares to become almost soundtrack like, full of ambience. maybe this is best expressed by his b2 track >i< . his debut on traum is a unique sound sensation of incredible details and big sound layouts, as if made for traum. melodic and gentle but at the same time energetic and full of colours with a sci fi edge to it! max has also remixed extrawelts >im garten von eben<
