Max Cooper - One Hundred Billion Sparks Remixed (2019)

Tracks from Max Cooper's One Hundred Billion Sparks album from 2018 get remixed by a veritable who's who of underground electronic music. Barker turns "Phi" into a jittery, broken beat piece, while in Synkro's hands, "Rule 110" turns into a stop-start slice of drum'n'bass, with the original version's melodies unravelling over its hyper-speed breaks. Parra For Cuva and Roly Porter's takes on "Hope" make for more reflective, immersive listens, particularly the Porter version, with its expansive, hymnal ambience. In contrast, DJ Tennis & Barratt pick up the pace with their edit of "Reflex", turning it an undulating groove, while Robag Wruhme's version of "Volition" is a superior piece of glitchy minimal house.
