UK producer Max Cooper (pictured above) is known for his dancefloor-oriented techno—check his recent rework of Abe Cooper and Blake Baxter for proof of that—but this remix of Brooklyn’s Au Revoir Simone finds him applying a softer touch. Reducing the girls’ vocals to ghostly reverb while delicately layering tinkling keys and warm sub-bass over the song’s delicate original melodies, he transforms “Take Me As I Am” into six-plus minutes of sublime bliss. With remixes on the way for artists like Hot Chip and DJ Hell, not to mention more of his own original productions, 2010 is shaping up to be a big year for Cooper.
