Max Cooper (dj set)

On 8 May 2026, Max Cooper lands at Parallel in Amsterdam for a DJ set shaped by his blend of melodic techno, electronica and ambient detail. Belfast-born and London-based, he moves between intricate rhythms, airy textures and slow-building tension, folding a scientific mindset into club energy without losing the pulse.

Known for concept-driven albums and immersive audiovisual projects, Cooper brings that sense of structure to the booth: patient layering, wide harmonics, quiet surges of percussion and releases that feel measured yet fluid. Expect long-form mixing where fragile pads brush against grainy low-end, glitch-streaked filigree threads under steady kicks, and melodic motifs surface, morph and slip away.

Through his Mesh collaborations, he’s honed an ear for spatial sound; in a club it translates into tracks that breathe, expand and reconnect while keeping the floor moving. A set for dancers who like their techno narrative and their electronica physical, guided by a selector who treats the night as a living system, evolving cue by cue.
