Songpot · Amsterdam Dance Event 2026

His sets and live shows sit between pulsing techno, harmonic ambient, and detailed electronica, usually built for a full audio-visual rig. Expect precise low-end, clean synth systems, and a lot of motion in the visuals rather than straight club-bludgeon material.

More about Max Cooper

He comes out of London’s techno and electronica lane, with a PhD in Computational Biology feeding the structure-heavy side of the work. Mesh, his label and project umbrella, is where the art/science/tech side of his practice gets formalised.

A story

He became the first techno artist to perform at the Acropolis in Athens. In their own words
