Palace Pasador is at the forefront of Switzerland’s underground Dub Pop movement. While their voices have been a signature feature of Fuga Ronto productions, they now step into the spotlight with a release of their own. The songs on Footprint Affair speak of admiration for gentleman thieves, the perpetual search for happiness, the touch of magic and seduction, and cozy spaceship excursions at night—always wrapped in infectious grooves, vibrant synthesizers, and layers of delay effects. Both singles, Footprint Affair and Looking For Clovers, come with additional stripped-down dub versions. Palace Pasador is sure to delight fans of dubby synth pop and adventurous music aficionados alike—this mini album is not to be missed!

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.

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.
