Stevie Nicks - Edge Of Seventeen (Apelika Revision) [FREE DL]

This week on Topshelf we’re delighted to have with us, one of our artists of the year in Japanese resident and balaeric champion, Max Essa.


Having been producing and DJ’ing since the 90’s, Max Essa is both a Dj’s Dj and a Producers Producer with class oozing out of his record collection, as well as through his body of work which has seen it supported by the likes of Andrew Weatherhall & David Mancuso. 

With a highly unique style often blending elements of ambience, soul and funk, his early releases like ‘2 be the one U like’, ‘Uptown Vibration’, ‘Caress’, ‘How Do U Feel?’ & ‘Water Business’ perfectly encapsulate the rebirth of a sound lost since the 80’s, utilising rich, deep synths, airy guitars, slapping baselines and infectious piano chords to mold his distinctive sound.

2024 has seen Max Essa continue his never ending golden era with 4 EP’s including the release of the beautifully crafted ‘We Live in the Hills’ with Eddie C which is in our opinion, the EP of the Year, with the record playing like an instrumental to a lost Fleetwood Mac album with hints of Crazy P. Genius and genuinely some of the most inspiring work we’ve heard this year, from an EP we will never stop listening to.
This year also saw a wonderful collaboration with Berlin based Englishman David Harks on ‘The Clean Trip’ EP, an moodie, indie dance release showcasing Essa still knows exactly how to work a vocal with every tracks ‘Plastic Bones’, ‘Magic Eyes’, ‘Blind Horizons’ & ‘Lobster Boys’ all being a certified moonlight anthems.

Now with a mix for us which delivers in full, we are delighted to present Topshelf 0128 with one of our Artists of the Year in Max Essa. Enjoy.

Couch Surfing at Sommerfest 2025

Hello World again and against the unwritten rules<3 !
With a bit of a delay and a tough decision to post this (never getting old). After consulting with many people, here comes my old incognito set at @bachstelzen 's Velvet Soup. 
Thanks everyone and big thanks to the legend @Kotoekk for spontaneously inviting me to this last minute call (sponti dark-disco set) 
Love and enjoy this old move enjoy this I found in the trunk of memories, but it's still good.

Mex ( m ë x ) @ Fusion Festival I Velvet Soup ( Bachstelzen )

Meet our favourite vinyl duo @sutsche from Hamburg: Axel aka akaak and Martin Moritz. Best friends, longtime diggers, and masters of slowing things down since 2008, they’ve been spinning techno and house maxis at 33 rpm instead of 45.
Each of their sets is a living organism with its own unique soul that takes time to understand before being released into the world. For this podcast, they’ve once again crafted a carefully tailored mix — beautiful, harmonic, and sharp-edged, just like they describe their sound.
Their story began on a rainy summer night in Hamburg. Instead of going out raving, they found themselves deep-diving into Martin’s record collection. That night, the seed of their project was planted, and it continues to grow with every slowed-down track.
This mix is a soundtrack for a city that floats between rooftops and stars, memory and motion. It was born somewhere between the pulse of a city and the silence of space.
And the mood? Let’s just say, Gisela knows.
Whether you are listening at home, on a road trip or somewhere far away, keep your ears open, your mind wide and remember: love is the engine.

Steve Reich - Come Out (Nicolas Jaar Remix)

...sitting in between packing boxes and getting ready for the change of settlement to the countryside, dad's and my old records hit me and I had to record this little mixtape...  this music sends me off to wherever I want to be, i am simply in love with these beautiful tunes!

Mixtape March 2017

And now for something completely different (Mixtape)

Originally from Athens, Greece, I began as a DJ in 1989 - aged 16. My first paid gig was at a seaside rock bar, playing 70s and 80s indie and alternative. Since those early days of cassette mixtapes, my style has morphed and evolved whilst remaining eclectic. I now live and work in Edinburgh, Scotland - via London - since 1998.

My two key DJ personas shifted between bar-, and club-work, playing anything from jazz, trip hop, and alt-pop to house, techno, and nu skool breaks.

Since 2013 and while my style remains eclectic, I favour indie dance, acid disco, and tech house, always infused with 80s elements from goth, electro, and ambient.

A mix is a journey with a story throughout - it has a beginning, a middle, and an end - so sit back and relax, or get up and dance, but always stay the course...
