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.

Mix of the Week #598: Zyron - Psychelearic Dreamscape

I first wrote the main electric piano hook for this song several years ago and discovered it again not too long ago.  I liked the 5/4 time signature and floaty feel of it so thought I'd see what I could do with it.  Like a few of my tunes of late, I suppose it could be classed as a 'remix' given the source of the vocal lines, but I don't think my version here sounds much (at all!) like the original...

Sweet Dream,
Sweet dream...

Close your eyes while shadows falling.
Sweet Dream,
Sweet dream...

Sleep tight, close your eyes.
Sweet dream...

Sandman's Calling.

The angel's up above you.
Sleep tight.
Sweet dream...
Sweet dream...

Sandman's Calling.
Goodnight precious.

Sleep tight.
Goodnight precious.

Sweet Dream (Sandman's Calling)
