MIX HAMMUR (guest/radio mixes)

Max's Wax (27/8/23)

What a dream team playing with @talkless & @bandolier at that last outting. Love the whole dynamic of genre juggling, BPM contrasts and just playing records for the moment, makes it really feel like you’re playing in the gaff which is the whole idea I’m going for.

Think I ruined the all vinyl streak after 3 hours with a Spirit In The Sky edit and a sax remix of Gimme Gimme but hats off to the troops for keeping it wax only !

If you’re expecting flawless mixing go listen else where but if you want a well curated blend of musical cultures, styles and all round great tunes then give it a listen 👂🏼

MAX'S WAX // The 78 // Talkless, Bandolier & Max Hammur

138 - Max Hammur

O escocês Max Hammur, embora bem ambientado com o clima frio e cinza de sua terra natal, procura emular lugares ensolarados com sua mistura fina de sons globais. Funk, afro, house são os espectros onde Max opera na maior parte do tempo, e esse set não é diferente, som pra alegrar e elevar o mood!
--

All styles and smiles, as Max Hammur brings that rare Scottish sun from Glasgow, with his eclectic melting pot of worldwide sounds. Each track offers a unique flavor that embodies him as a DJ, featuring inspirations from Harari to Roy Davis Jr. to Jorge Ben Jor. This mixture of funk, afro, and house from various corners of the globe takes listeners on a perfect journey through a diverse musical landscape!

Max Hammur - Alter Disco Podcast 174

For the latest instalment of the 'Nice to meet you' show, I was joined by fantastic Max Hammur for an hour of magic, with the first hour of the show recorded by myself, live at Psysquare Chiang Mai, and the second delivered by the Big Man himself...

Max Hammur, the Glasgow-based collector, selector, and dancer, has been making waves with his eclectic styled DJ sets. With a constant mixed bag of music sounds in his arsenal, MAX always has the right weapons to make the dancefloor explosive.

Starting his musical journey in his late teens through his family's electronic music obsession with help from his uncle's passion for 90s US house & UK techno. Then having the other side of the family tree creating an insight for more European psychedelic funk and italo. This unique blend of influences has shaped MAX into the interesting and dynamic character he is today.   Having honed his distinct sound, MAX effortlessly commands any crowd, seamlessly transitioning chill downtempo kwaito or high-energy zouk heat. His sets resonate inclusivity and cultural diversity, reflecting his deep-rooted fascination in global music and showcasing his ability to weave these influences into his performances.   

As well as this he runs club night residencies at some of the most successful venues within Glasgow city. One being the Aye Heavy residency @ Broadcast, this has been ongoing for 5 years with them booking Poly-Ritmo, Bonnefooi, Discotheque Tropicale, Hand-Made, Vandorta and others! The other is Mándalo which means to “send it” in Spanish. This party @ Nice N’ Sleazy has been active for 4 years now, booking local heroes such as Melting Pot, OOFT!, David Barbarossa & Joumana. Both nights have their own individual styles with Aye Heavy being focused on exploring different cultures styles of dance music and it involves hearing sounds around the world that you don’t hear anywhere else in Glasgow. Mándalo was set up as an “anything goes” policy with the night always being supplied with a total mixed bag of music.
 
MAX has been on lineups with some of the biggest names in the game with Optimo, DJ Poolboi, Minna and was invited to Ewan Macvicars first Pavilion Festival, with them also regularly performing at Kelburn Garden Party Festival, La Cheetah & Berkeley Suite. They’ve been fortunate enough to play all over Scotland, London, Switzerland & France and have had recent support with tracks they’ve made through Hunee, COEO, Eternal Love, Moving Still etc.

Nice To Meet You

Nice to meet... Max Hammur - 14th August 2024

Max Hammur - 1st November 2024

"Nyrosine" by Sim Fossil is part of the new EP  "Tidal Figures" out now on Dream Chimney  

Buy: https://dreamchimney.bandcamp.com/album/tidal-figures
Available LP & Digital

Dream Chimney proudly presents "Tidal Figures," the new EP from Paris based producer Sim Fossil. The release is a deep dive into cosmic soundscapes, synth melodies, heavy basslines weaving together elements of house, nu-beat, and ambient into a truly unique, low-BPM fusion. Across four original tracks, "Tidal Figures" explores a quiet duality of space and time. "Echo Marina" and "Nyrosine" bask in a soft, melodic glow, while "Null Meridian" and "Backcurrent" plunge listeners into a darker, even slower synthetic haze. The tracks are all driven by deep, slow basslines and shimmering synths that feel heavy and submerged, reminiscent of a half-speed Harold Faltermeyer adrift in an underwater voyage.

Adding to the EP's allure, "Tidal Figures" features two remixes from revered artists Max Essa and Project Sandro. Balearic luminary Max Essa takes on "Echo Marina," infusing it with his signature magic touch while preserving its gentle tempo. Project Sandro, the collaborative vision of Rollmottle and Tony Watson, then propels "Null Meridian" into an even deeper, outer space cruiser, showcasing their masterful blend of studio expertise and vision. This release showcases Sim Fossil's ability to create a sound that is both nostalgic and forward-thinking, electronic yet gently fluid, perfectly suited for the ears and hearts of the Dream Chimney fanbase.

Premiere: not even noticed ‘Creamavity’

The views from the aeroplane were hard to believe, the scale of the deep blue as it disappeared into the great beyond was staggering. The endless abyss of the limitless sky.

Clouds were sparse yet every time he caught a glimpse of one he’d try to create a mental image or a sense of perspective as to what they were, floating against the backdrop of the opal sky.

He imagined a great dragon, a frightening beast roaring through the sky with a mighty myriad of colours cascading from its magnificent wings.

It was all magic up here.

Sarayu is set to release an EP on More Rice – a wiggly, techy beauty of an EP which combines lots of fast paced, glitchy elements to craft a deep, pensive groove.

For ASC006, we have 4 deep tracks from 1/2 of Ascension, Jim Brown, treading the lines between house and techno.

The first track, ‘It Was at the Mountain’ kicks this EP off with crisp basslines, stripped back minimal grooves, and twisting tops. This one is dance-floor focused, and haunting vocals provide the deep and dark vibes you know and love from Jim. Second is ‘Lost In Karst’. Strap yourself in for this one – these aggy kicks will rattle any rig. Paired with spinny vox chops and raspy synths, this is one for peak time, guaranteed to spin out the dance. What Jim is all about. Next is ‘(g)round 7’. This track is brought together with rolling basslines weaved under steppy drumwork and percussion. Subtle atmospherics also sit in the back of the track, bringing an unsettling feeling – a feeling that isn’t resolved, and doesn’t leave you until the track is done. The last track of this EP is ‘Conscious Soil’. Jim takes you deep on this one – immersive pads create unparalleled vibes for the first half. Don’t be fooled though, this isn’t an easy going track. The second drop takes the energy right back up to 100 with rattling subs and in-your-face kicks.

Jim is flying the flag for our label and sound, which we truly feel embodies innovation. These are 4 tracks packed with experimentation, all whilst being rooted on the dancefloor. No nonsense, deep and atmospheric - special stuff from Jim.

Best believe we’re just getting started over here!

PREMIERE : Jim Brown - Conscious Soil

Moody McIvor is a Darkwave/Synthwave act fronted by Christopher McIvor from the Gold Coast, Australia, with production support from Felipe Bortoloti (Nørus), originally from Brazil and now based in Portugal.

Formed in 2021, the project blends ethereal soundscapes with pulsating rhythms, weaving together electronic textures and organic depth for a sound that is both intimate and expansive.

The debut release on McIvor’s new sublabel Ronnie’s Records, Shadow Frequencies, is a deeply personal body of work developed over four years and dedicated to the memory of close friend Benaiah Fiu. Each track channels love, loss, and memory through haunting melodies, evocative vocals, and emotionally rich atmospheres.

PREMIERE : Moody Mcivor - Benaiah Fiu

He sat upon a little hill beside the bridge and looked out upon the river which passed down beneath. It was hard to see the ripples of the water but for the occasional flicker of the headlights which whizzed by up there on the overpass. Some people came out here from time to time to spot the northern lights but there wasn't much moving in the wayward sky this evening. 

There was a near silence in the air, the occasional scream of something wild in the woods in the distance would echo across the snow capped fields. 

He took a deep breath and watched as it filled the air with fog.

Don't Be Afraid has always represented the very best of the underground, a prominent label with a commitment to the out there. Label boss makes a triumphant return with a new EP.

PREMIERE: Semtek - Northern Lights [Don't Be Afraid]

Pre-order: melodizemusic.bandcamp.com/album/killing-culture

Bristol-based producer @zobol lands on Brooklyn imprint @melodizemusic with 'Killing Culture', a bold, four-track statement that fuses electro and breaks into something raw, physical, and emotionally-charged.

B-side track 'Weapon of Mass Distraction' unfolds from a looping synth fragment, slowly ramping into a tense, bass-driven groove - relentless, exacting, and distractingly armoured with acidity.
