EDDIE C - BEST FRIEND 038



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.

Really happy to welcome Scott Proper from the UK on the Between Cities Mix Series!!

With over three decades behind the decks, Scott’s path into DJing came naturally—shaped by a lifelong habit of digging through record shops and an enduring curiosity for music that doesn’t sit still.

Originally active across the UK scene, his sets have left a mark at parties like Got The Bug, Ultragroove, Jack Yer Boots Up, Balearic Social and Shades of Sound. 

His style leans toward the exploratory -a fluid mix of Dub, House, Disco, and Balearica- often shifting gears mid-set and finding unexpected links between tempos and moods.

Press play and enjoy a beautiful selection of music, deeply curated for this series!
