Been meaning to do a mix of European jazz mix for a while and thought I'd have a crack at making one featuring a track from each of the nations at Euro 2024 to keep myself amused between games.

Coastin' 12 by Spacewalker

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.

Max Essa - SOULMEEX DECKS 162

"The piano chords at the beginning of the track sound familiar; the moment the memory begins to take shape, bizarre organ flashes shoot out of nowhere, completely off beat, shattering the concentration. (...) Suddenly, the whole thing escalates, spiralling completely out of control; echoes circle around the speakers, only to return to relative normality under tight bongo rhythms before a stubborn trombone takes over. And then it gets really interesting."

With this quote from Joe Gibbs in mind, we browsed through our dub archive and present you with the sound from legendary studios such as Black Ark, Dynamic Sounds, Wackie's House Of Music, ... and acclaimed producers Jo Jo Hookim, Jah Thomas, Augustus Pablo, Lee Perry, King Tubby and many more.

This version is without the spoken parts, just the music.

For those that know, Sean P is the man, possessing tremendous knowledge and refined taste, he takes things to the next level and keeps it adult. (Not to editorialize, but in this new - flavor of the min - 2 edits and a remix and I'm a star - triteness of the nu disco scene, someone like Sean is a necessary antidote) Check out his mixes, his edits (on Cosmic Boogie and Tirk etc..), or his super nice compilations - His "Originals" for Mudd's Claremont imprint, Destination Boogie, SupaFunkanova or Disco not Disco - with Joey Negro, or you may know his mastering and restoration work (see Brand New Wayo on Mukatsuku, or the Originals series on Claremont). Sean is a dean who has done his studies, so school up disco children and enjoy... For all things Sean check him here: http://www.discogs.com/artist/Sean+P.

Paul Murphy aka Mudd runs the great Claremont 56 label and has published a tremendous amount of quality music over the past 5 years. Mudd has also released music on Rong, Discfunction, Bearfunk, and Noid and been part of Bison, Smith and Mudd, Mudd and Pollard and Akwaaba amongst others. He is a busy guy, who recently celebrated 5 years of Claremont with a extensive worldwide tour. Musician, composer, DJ, label head etc... Paul is the business and he is doing things his way, on his terms. To get yourself on the Claremont 56 train and all things Mudd go to: http://www.claremont56.com

Thanks to both of these heavy hitters for starting off year two in proper fashion, and thanks to all of you for the support. More goodness is coming, we never close.

Don't know about anyone else but I'm getting more disillusioned with SoundCloud with every change they make. The new algorithm and its 'recommendations' ignore mixes and any tracks over 10 mins, they've removed the New & Hot charts and replaced them with irrelevant crap like "Events near you", and this new UI has me searching for a way to revert it.
