DAAD Gathering

Great job last night! Had lots of fun! Hope to see you back in the Bay Area again!!!! Keep up the great work. You brought great energy and a vibe that I won’t ever forget. Thank you!

Electronic techno is a genre I really enjoy, and Max Cooper’s ambient techno sets are something that I love experiencing live. The way that he uses the samples on his iPad and skims through hundreds of different sounds recording them live and creating a clever mix out of them in incredible to watch. So many DJs these days simply prerecord their set and do hardly anything live, but Max is the total opposite, playing I’d say about 80% of his work live. Although he’s incredibly focused on getting him music right, he’s also great at interacting with his audience, and performs his music with emotion, and dedication.

His mixing desk was huge, and when he opened with his remix of Sasha, everyone was cheering and dancing for him. A lot of his music bridges the gap between very chilled out music, and more intense techno, but the balance and transitions are perfect to keep everyone dancing and on their toes not knowing what to expect. The great thing about Cooper, is that he is full of energy, and throughout the set it didn’t drop at all, whether it was the mellow tracks with his self directed videos projected behind him, or the dance beats. Everyone loved the show, and he’s a great live performer.

His set last night at Awakenings Amsterdam was just great! Good techno and two hours of energy! The crowd loved it and the DJ after him had a hard time to play the crowed as Rødhåd did

Cari Lekebusch did an amazing set as always! Time passed by too fast and I got surprised when his set was over. Can't wait to dance on his music again.

I'll try to be brief. Awful gig. Venue was not the best. Bad choice of music. Trainwrecks were aplenty. Waste of money. Definitely won't be coming these gigs again. What happened?
