Heres my first ever radio show. It took me a wee while to get to grips with all the gear as I was in there on my own but I got the hand of it towards the end. Comment for any ID's. 

Expressions on Subcity 1 Sunday a month

Expressions: 01 - Subcity Radio - 9/3/25



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.

We're very happy to have another mix from the Italian maestro Marco Gallerani. "A regular guest spot for Marco means simply the finest Balearic choices from the boss of Hell Yeah! Recordings: no one does it better than Marco. This time round there's plenty of upfront label business just for LOOSE listeners: it's a real treat as always."

MUSIC IS THE ANSWER W/ SECRET SOUL SOCIETY + GUEST: MARCO GALLERANI - 6 JUNE 25

Celebrating the onset of summer with delectable, eclectic selection of modern balearica, downtempo and deep dance

SHADES OF SOUND W/ JOE MORRIS - 13 JUNE 25

Not done one of these in a while, having recently stepped away from my residency in Edinburgh. Felt right to record one more before taking a breather and shifting focus.

On the hottest day of the year in the UK so far, here’s a mix of sun-drenched beauties to soundtrack it.

Catch you on the other side x
