ØZMØZ

ØZMØZ (formerly known as Danny Cooper) is a driving force within industrial hard techno, embodying a raw, radical, and uncompromising vision shaped by massive kicks, metallic textures, and relentless tension. Active for over a decade, he has built a reputation for delivering high-intensity performances that balance brutal energy with precise, controlled execution.

After cutting his teeth with smaller collectives, including DarkRave, ØZMØZ has gone on to establish himself within major platforms across the Belgian and European scene.

He is now closely involved with respected collectives such as INVAZZION (Liège), HDTC (Namur), and REVERB (Brussels), regularly sharing his sound and energy on key stages that define the region’s hard techno movement.

In recent years, ØZMØZ has developed a strong and evolving artistic bond with MALØ. Together, they regularly produce and perform back-to-back sets, forging a shared sonic identity that blends intensity, precision, and an untameable rave spirit. While remaining individual artists, their collaboration has quickly become one of the most promising duos within the European hard techno scene, recognised for its cohesion, power, and authenticity. Their performances are built around original material, combining ØZMØZ’s solo productions with collaborative tracks created alongside MALØ, resulting in a distinctive and immersive sound experience.

As a producer, ØZMØZ’s work strikes a balance between sonic chaos and rhythmic rigour, earning consistent support from some of the scene’s most influential names. His productions have resonated across Europe’s biggest dancefloors and festivals. Notable releases include “Sending My Love” (with Moxia), supported by Oguz, Shlømo, and OnlyNumbers, and played at major events such as Tomorrowland, Teletech, and Defqon. His collaboration with MALØ, “Cross Over,” received strong backing from Jazzy, Jowi, and Fantasm, marking a key milestone in their artistic evolution. Additional highlights include an industrial remix of “Macarena” (with Mondello) released on Gewoonraves, and hard-hitting tracks such as “Gucci Gang,” “Tekk Style,” and “BrooklynBloodPop,” now staples of underground hard techno sets.

Recent releases further underline his international reach, including “Fuck Rosie” on Ruined Society (Belgium), “Emporium” and “Switch” on Darkframe (France), and “Ripped” on Voidance (Italy). Alongside his growing discography, ØZMØZ has expanded his presence as an international DJ, performing across multiple European countries, including Germany and the Netherlands, solidifying his reputation well beyond Belgian borders.

A rising yet firmly established figure in European hard techno, ØZMØZ continues to shape a sound that is dark, brutal, and uncompromising—an aesthetic rooted in the purest essence of the rave movement.
