Paper pres. Low Life (Bill Brewster & Frank Broughton) at The Golden Lion: Tickets - skiddle.com/e/36710443

The term legend gets thrown about etc etc blah blah. but its hard to talk about Bill Brewster without including the L word.

Someone who has been at the forefront of music throughout his whole life whether its wearing his journalist hat, author cap, producer trilby, remixer bandana or of course his disc jockey deerstalker, Bill Brewster is an absolute tour de force of the scene.

We're thrilled that him and his Low Life partner in crime and fellow author Frank Broughton will join us on Dec 9th at The Golden Lion for a social shimmy shindig and to crank up the excitement factor he's done us this rather superb guest mix which you need to crack on & crank up asap!

Music For Dreams Radio Show - 28.6.25

Shades Of Sound Radio - July 2025

London-born and Tokyo-based, Max Essa has spent over two decades crafting lush, melodic soundscapes that blur the lines between balearic, cosmic disco, and ambient pop. Emerging in the '90s on Warp and Paper Recordings, he found his true artistic stride after relocating to Japan in 2008. Since then, Essa has become a central figure in Tokyo’s underground scene, curating events like Zim Zam Zu! at Bar Bonobo and releasing music on labels such as Music For Dreams, Hell Yeah!, and Is It Balearic?

Essa’s style is warm, escapist, and deeply cinematic-often inspired by specific places: Okinawan beaches, Mediterranean ferries, or late-night Tokyo rooftops. His releases, like Lanterns, When I'm Homeward Bound, and The Clean Trip (with David Harks), radiate nostalgia and serenity, wrapped in silky synths and timeless grooves.

Beyond producing, Essa curates, mentors, and connects cultures-compiling Japanese ambient gems on Oto No Wa, together with Ken Hidaka and Dr Rob, and spotlighting local artists through interviews and collaborations. Whether on record or behind the decks, Max Essa invites listeners into a world where emotion, space, and memory guide the rhythm.
