Manners McDade has welcomed Belfast-born London-based composer, producer and DJ Max Cooper to its roster.

The much-anticipated upcoming album from Max Cooper is to be released in Autumn 2016, and follows a series of successful releases: Artefact EP (2015), BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix (2015), Human (2014), and more. Described by Resident Advisor as ‘an uncompromising and individual musician’ Max’s previously released works further establish him as a great electronic artist, as well as an innovator in the live performance space, a sound artist and designer and an experimental collaborator. He has also remixed Nils Frahm, Ólafur Arnalds and Hot Chip.

Max Cooper said of the signing, "I'm very happy to be embarking on this new collaboration with Manners McDade. They have great taste in music, an amazing roster, a strong track record of syncs, and most importantly they are all lovely people so I'm happy they'll be doing the best possible job with getting my music out there in the right places."

Catherine Manners, Director of Manners McDade, says of the signing, "Max Cooper is a ground-breaking electronic artist; a producer, a scientist and a cross-genre collaborator - exactly the sort of musician that our office gets excited about - and we’re very, very happy that he’s chosen to work with us as his exclusive publisher."

James Bullock, manager of Max Cooper. said: "I am really please to work with Manners McDade - they are a great team who love innovative music and work hard to provide interesting opportunities for their artists. I'm looking forward to working on exciting new projects."
