MUSHROOMS PROJECT - ''Bournemouth'' UNDERGRASS LP Bonus Track Digital Version Leng Records

This week on Topshelf we’re delighted to have with us, one of our artists of the year in Japanese resident and balaeric champion, Max Essa.


Having been producing and DJ’ing since the 90’s, Max Essa is both a Dj’s Dj and a Producers Producer with class oozing out of his record collection, as well as through his body of work which has seen it supported by the likes of Andrew Weatherhall & David Mancuso. 

With a highly unique style often blending elements of ambience, soul and funk, his early releases like ‘2 be the one U like’, ‘Uptown Vibration’, ‘Caress’, ‘How Do U Feel?’ & ‘Water Business’ perfectly encapsulate the rebirth of a sound lost since the 80’s, utilising rich, deep synths, airy guitars, slapping baselines and infectious piano chords to mold his distinctive sound.

2024 has seen Max Essa continue his never ending golden era with 4 EP’s including the release of the beautifully crafted ‘We Live in the Hills’ with Eddie C which is in our opinion, the EP of the Year, with the record playing like an instrumental to a lost Fleetwood Mac album with hints of Crazy P. Genius and genuinely some of the most inspiring work we’ve heard this year, from an EP we will never stop listening to.
This year also saw a wonderful collaboration with Berlin based Englishman David Harks on ‘The Clean Trip’ EP, an moodie, indie dance release showcasing Essa still knows exactly how to work a vocal with every tracks ‘Plastic Bones’, ‘Magic Eyes’, ‘Blind Horizons’ & ‘Lobster Boys’ all being a certified moonlight anthems.

Now with a mix for us which delivers in full, we are delighted to present Topshelf 0128 with one of our Artists of the Year in Max Essa. Enjoy.

Mushrooms Project boys Giorgio Giri and Marco Lentano are back with another strong 12", this time mixing fellow Italian disco outfit Soupaczar (so far as I can tell - Under The Shade never give us the barest sniff of sales info...). Their mix of "So Mr Leary" turns the Italo-prog of the original into an Italo-cosmic-prog driver. It's the A-side rework by Mixed Blood Cuts / Padded Cell man Richard Sen that really caught my ears here though. He dispenses with the rock vocals and heads straight to the dancefloor with an epic cosmic disco driver that really gets in a tight, funky groove - perfect 2am play. Ray Mang is also on hand to add one of his organic, percussive disco refixes, turing the vocals into a disco-not-disco holiday pop sing-along. 

Mushrooms Project Presents Soupaczar remixes - UNDER THE SHADE

Žmogus-raketa yra Sean Johnston. Scenos veteraną ir pačios įvariausios muzikos žinovą šokėjai puikiai pažįsta kaip Hardway Bros ir ½ A Love From Outer Space. Pastarąjį lėto tempo projektą jis dešimtmetį įgarsino kartu su šviesaus atminimo Andrew Weatherall. Šis Ant Bangos miksų serijos epizodas irgi skamba kaip niekur neskubanti kelionė nuo vieno kranto iki kito ir mums su juo labai pakeliui.  

~

The man, the myth, the legend. Sean Johnston is an acid house veteran, techno survivor, and freelance disco consultant. He’s best known for two projects: Hardway Bros and A Love From Outer Space. The latter originally began ten years ago as a nocturnal experiment with the much missed legend Andrew Weatherall. The vibe is still alive and you can feel it in this episode. Enjoy a truly spiritual slo mo journey coast to coast.
