Why do we like this?

One can always count on Max Cooper to push the envelope as far as experimentation with his sound. "Origins" is just one more example of his passion for the exploration of sound.

The song builds around an instrument called the sansula, which has a sound and design not unlike an traditional African instrument called  the "mbira" or "kalimba." Max came about the instrument via Dominik Eulberg, who released a song by the name "Sansula" -- eventually remixed by Max himself.

The end result creates a beautiful setting for a minimal electronica track, clearly worthy of being shared with y'all.

By Jason Grishkoff on Feb 4, 2013 | This is certainly one of my favorite minimal electronica songs ever. I first heard it as part of a ~60 minute Beats In Space episode featuring Rone, where it was featured as the final track. The buildup to this song is phenomenal, and I basically fou... read more →

By Jason Grishkoff on Jul 25, 2013 | Parisian-based Rone is one of my favorite minimal electronic artists, so when we were offered a premiere of this new track titled "Tag," you can imagine how quickly I jumped at the opportunity. How'd that come about, you might ask? Well...On August 2... read more →
