Hi Bill, What is this lovely track called? I've tried Googling the lyrics and all I know is that it's not Taylor Swift.

Max Essa (@max-essa) has been active as a producer and DJ since the early 90s, initially releasing music on labels including Warp Records and Paper Recordings and DJing alongside the infamous D.i.Y Sound System.

His later work, for labels like Is It Balearic? Recordings, went on to be play-listed by legends such as Andrew Weatherall and David Mancuso, gaining him a devoted following and DJ bookings around the world.

Albums for the Japanese major label, Victor Entertainment ('Vacations Never Taken' 2015) and Music For Dreams ('Lanterns' 2018), plus EPs for labels including Hell Yeah! Recordings and Razor N Tape (with Eddie C), and a constant stream of remixes for labels like Compost, Ubiquity, Faze Action and Leng have shown him to be a prolific and deeply imaginative producer.

Since 2008 he has been based in Japan where he plays regularly at clubs and events around the country, from Hokkaido to Okinawa.
From 2010 - 2023 he was a resident DJ at the Lone Star parties, and later the Zim Zam Zu! events at the legendary, Bar Bonobo and for over a decade has been a resident at the ever popular, Aoyama Tunnel in Tokyo.

The ReFrame :: August 25

So I realised recently that I had live streamed my DJ set at Smart Bar in Chicago on Facebook (remember doing stuff like that?) while on a completely amazing coast to coast tour of the USA in 2019. So that means I can rip the audio and here we have slightly over 1 hour of my set from that night. 

Huge thanks to Roger That from Playground Records for booking me at the legendary Smart Bar - it was an honour to finally play there. 

It's really cool to hear what I was playing on that tour 6 years later - was such a great time! I would have been back sooner but alas my visa ran out before the Covid restrictions were lifted and it's such a faff to get a new one. I will be back! 

I have a funny memory of Michael Serafini rushing the booth because I'd played 'Manhood' by Vikter Duplaix and he'd 'not heard it for years' - it meant a lot to have people like Michael come to support. Shouts to Oren and Katherine who played some great stuff - it was a brilliant night.

Mix of the Week #599: the Beat Broker - Extended Summer

A few weeks ago, I decided to make a mix to listen to some of the new records I brought back from my trip to Europe and the UK. Totally unplanned and imperfect, just the way we used to it. For the fun of listening to new records. The result was pleasing to me as It really reminded me of the innocence of old mix tapes I used to love, so I thought I'd share it on here. Hope you enjoy!

Since it emerged in the 90s, progressive house has impacted the lives of countless people around the world. Heroes like Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Sasha, John Digweed, Lee Burrige, Anthony Pappa, Dave Seamen, Dmitry Molosh, Dicky Trisco, Greg Wilson, Andrew Weatherall, Carl Cox, Soulwax/ 2manydjs, The Chemical Brothers, Groove Armada, Harri & Domenic, Justice, Flight Facilities, WhomadeWho, The Prodigy, Aphex Twin,LF System, Moby, Daft Punk, Slam, The KLF, Orbital, Underworld, 808State and many more have been advocates of this unique brand of club music.

House music isn’t just about the dancing it’s straight from the soul… 

I had to steal the following paragraph from ERAN AVINER SIMPLY because it is 💯 % unarguably correct.. 

“Because absolutely nothing compares to music. This language, whose universal vibes can 
be understood by anybody, connects people around the globe be it religions, cultures or ethnicity. Great tunes turn strangers into friends. One note expresses more emotions than a thousand words. Music goes on where words fall short. It simply touches your soul.
