Lost In Transition residency show on Radio Alhara

I'm super thrilled to be announcing my new residency with one of my all-time favorite radios, @radioalhara . The show's name is "Lost In Transition" which is the same name I chose for my first series of mixes back when I started learning how to squeeze my infinite choices of selections into the proper format of a mix. 

Lost In Transition is a musical ode to my love for the looks-so-simple-yet-not-much the act of weaving several tracks to make a story out of it (my own definition of mixing ) which seemed like another way to write only this time, the words are rhythms or/and melodies. 

If you think about it outside the entertainment context, a mix can prove the human link between several cultures via the musical bond between multiple tracks. A proper DJ who recognizes this superpower can, in the presence of a mixed crowd, reach what politics failed to do : Make peace between nations.

I mean, if you think about it, producers and DJs like my brother @moving0still contributed to alter and clear the perception towards MENA culture and heritage through their work more than fucking gov' lol (shout-out to him btw because this show comes following his invitation to play in his show few months ago). 

This show will later include guest mixes by great artists who, I believe, are contributing into making the world one thanks to their universal knowledge and vision of Music (epic names are included!!).

The visual covers which, to me, make up half of the concept will exclusively be @sofiasofiasofiasofi work as she's the only one capable of, not only translating what I want to express, but also push me to innovate, just like the case for this debute episode where her work came before mine. 

Regarding the first episode which will be streamed at midnight, I chose to make it into both an introduction of what I do and who I believe in and a taste of what I'm into (probably every piece of good Music so good luck lol)

Lost In Transition W/ Track Advisor (Radio Alhara 04.02.2023)

I feel both excited and honored to have Max Essa as my first guest for my Lost In Transition show on Radio AlHara, an incredible artist who has been active as a DJ and producer since the early 90s, initially releasing music on labels such as Warp Records and Paperecordings and DJing alongside the infamous D.i.Y Sound System.

I recall the moment I first listened to his work, a few years ago, which felt like a revelation to me as it followed no rule and surely, couldn't be categorized into one genre.

His productions, which were mainly inspired by natural elements like the sound of waves crashing on the shores, held a very organic touch and a whole package of emotions, going from Joy to Melancholia, which were sometimes present all at once in just one track.

No wonder that his work, for labels like Is It Balearic? Recordings, went on to be playlisted by leg-ends such as Andrew Weatherall and David Mancuso who are best known for their quests of emotionally-engaging and beautifully-weaved grooves. His albums for the Japanese major label, Victor Entertainment (Vacations Never Taken' 2015) and Music For Dreams (Lanterns' 2018), plus EPs for the Italian label, Hell Yeah! Recordings and a constant stream of remixes, have shown him to be a deeply imaginative and prolific producer.

For the past decade Max has held two DJ residencies in Tokyo, Lone Star at the legendary, Bar Bonobo with Ken Hidaka and Dr Rob (Ban Ban Ton Ton) and Fridays at the ever-popular Aoyama Tunnel.

The mix is a condensed version of the kind of things he plays for the first 2-3 hours of the night at his 12 year residency at Aoyama Tunnel in Tokyo

I'm super pleased to invite one of my dearest  discoveries, Nyapi Seoul resident, @hasa-official 🇰🇷,  on my show in @radioalhara  🔥

This invitation came after a previous invitation for another show of mine on @loose.fm where he delivered one of the finest mixes I had the pleasure to share.
Eclectic, hypnotic, groovy, super deep, energetic.. These are not enough words that can describe the style and the storytelling of this young gem whose sound reflects a true dedication for digging, collecting and sharing music in a way that highlights the beauty of each record individually and collectively in the whole story he's telling ✨
