Max Essa, - How Do You Feel? feat D.C Mathias
Max Essa is a producer who has been shipping over his extremely coveted brand of disco and balearica from the land of the Rising Sun for some time now. Having had a long running string of sought after releases on labels such as Bear Funk, Nang, to Is It Balearic, Max is now making his Needwant debut with ‘How Do You Feel?’ which includes an awesome remix from Kim Ann Foxman. ‘How Do You Feel?’ starts off with bassy plods and gentle keyboard strokes that steer us longingly towards the smooth soulful vocals of DC Mathias. Topped off with light high-hats and the occasional flute twirl this release has summery feeling of lounging by a pool embedded deep within it. On the remix we have Kim Ann Foxman of Hercules and Love Affair fame who injects the track with a hypnotic deep house vibe. Taking the melancholic vocals from the original and setting them off subtly against a darker deeper bass line that takes its listener back in time. Hard to believe from the quality of the remix but this is Kim Ann Foxman’s first ever remix! Already getting plays way upfront on Beats In Space, this is sure to get you shoulder shrugging on the dancefloor in the early mornings! This is the fifteenth release from London based Needwant records. They have already built up an impressive catalogue from the likes of The Revenge, Mario Basanov, Soul Clap, Massimiliano Paglaria and more, but with this release they may have just raised the bar again.

This fresh four-tracker traverses gently breaking synth waves, undulating dubby undercurrents and gloriously sun-kissed synth work all in a soothing and meditative style.

Max Essa - Matinee ( Lukkas Club Mix)
Brand new Barcelona i mprint Balearic Ensemble hit the ground running with their premier plastic disc drop,
BE001. We’re over (and under, and around) the moon to present the Painting Of The Day EP, the first i n a series
of extended plays l ined up from the baddest crew of balearic samurais for your aural i ndulgence.
Leading the charge i s the one and only Max Essa, a man some may know as botanist-in-chief at the sublime
Jardin Jansen l abel, others as the shadow behind a string of l ush productions sounded out by the l ikes of the
Guv’nor Andrew Weatherall or a one David Mancuso. Painting Of The Day i s the l atest i n Max’s deeply
inventive output, with Joe Morris, Lukkas and Ibicenco duo Reisdentes Balearicos serving up three wondrously
lush revamps for the heads .
First up i s ‘ Matinee’, which takes that l aid-back 80s sound and washes i t through reverb racks and cascading
arpeggiatic tones. Soft, subtle and brilliant, the result i s an emotional Essa performance, akin to a soft caress of
the waves, or a brush stroke on a canvas i n the afternoon sun.
‘Tempo Babadoh’ i s another massive balearic number, promenading and pirouetting i ts way across a vista of
club congas, wah guitar and deluxe synth sounds. Sliding nylon strings evoke memories of a l ate-night Mandy
Smith anthem as agogo bells i nterweave among the flora and fauna of Max Essa’s balearic vision. A l ofty,
virtuosic affair that’s sure to be a staple when the good times come.
On the flip we have Joe Morris’s ‘ Paraiso’ version of Tempo Badaboh. It’s a(n) NY hymn, a dusty psalm, a
stellar reimagining of the original which brings an 80s Chicago feel with all the savoir faire and finesse that the
Clandestino man has come to be revered for. Sizzling b l ines, crickets at dusk and time-tested balearic motifs
presented i n a new, slightly angular l ight.
Over on B2 (?) we get Lukkas’ Club Mix of Matinee, a dangerous dance weapon with a dose of l ow frequencies
bubbling through the spaces and cracks l eft between Essa’s l ush, spacious tones, filtering and resonating i ts
way to the finish l ine with presence and class. One for the l ate hours…
And breathe. We proudly present BE001. Welcome to the ensemble - i t’s a feeling, i nit…

max essa - No Title
A year after his debut outing on the label, Max Essa makes a welcome return to Hell Yeah with the Han zon Roc EP, which is another of his impossibly laidback offerings.
Essa is of course the long time UK talent who has become a part of the Balearic mafia thanks to releases on labels like Aficionado, Music for Dreams, and his own Jansen Jardin. This is the second coming together of artist and label and is another timeless excursion far out to sea.
Opener 'Han zon Roc (Midori Coup)' is an epic 12 minute adventure that slowly awakens your spirit with new age guitar plucks and heavenly ambience before organic drums slowly being to drift into earshot. They grow ever larger as synths start to spray about the mix, hand drums pitter patter and big chords bring the soul-shine. It's like the soundtrack to an afternoon boat party all condensed into one brilliant cut.
How You Showed Me Everything' then gets super chill with lazy drum tumbles, bendy guitar lines and scattered hits. Withering cosmic chords colour the airwaves and its a track that will slow your heartbeat to nothing.
Last of all, 'Rain Bird's Alfalfa Jam' is a analogue drum work out with early 90s hip hop influences and diving basslines. It's light and airy, nimble and playful and of course filled with the sort of tropical rays that make all of Essa works so brilliantly escapist.

IIB reach their 40th release with label stalwart Max Essa's latest EP. Feel The Machine is a proto-house groove with touches of italo-disco. Chugging bassline and cowbells making it a real dancer. Panapolean Dreamer is a more downtempo beat driven affair with eastern strings on a mellow new beat vibe. The second side starts with Tall Shadows Walking Home. Again max explores the proto house sound all smothered in lovely electronic melodies. Twenty Types Of Dusk relaxes the tempo again. Trademark Max Essa Balearic. A killer ep. to celebrate 40 12 inch releases.

This is some of his very best work to date and demonstrates a producer at home at the controls and a real musician with a vision. Your carnival sounds like this...

Max Essa returns to Is It Balearic..? Home to some of his more Balearic moments most notably the epic Panorama Suite. The A side is Dovodah! which begins with some Nu-Med atmospheres and acoustic guitar conjuring up 80's Italian beach parties. The loose percussion and a heartfelt vocal (calling the unmistakable sound of Dovodah!) carry you along before dropping into an early 90's italian progressive vibe. Genuinely a real post sunset bomb. Doug Lee turns Dovodah into a more moody basement soundsystem banger -heavy bassline and distorted synths. This needs to be played Loud!
The B side Burning Palms is a moment of sexy strummed acoustic guitar and percussion. Sounding like A Mountain of One on a dusty desert vacation. Summers surely round the corner.
Hardway Bros Sean Johnston brings this tune back inside for some heads down dancefloor vibes while retaining alot of the original feel. Like a gypsy acid mid tempo house party. I want to go. IIB back with a bang

We are back with another panoramic journey. Max Essa needs little introduction, in our circles he is the shining light when it comes to the newer Balearic flavours we enjoy. M.O.D.F.D.M.V stands for 'Musica Originale Del Film Della Mia Vita' - Italian for 'Original music from the film of my life', and if this is what Max’s life sounds like then he is one lucky guy. 'Pow Wow' was described as 'Young American Primitive meets Mood II Swing by Dr Rob on his Test Pressing review which we thought summed it up quite nicely! 'Cloud Chasing' Early '90s Italo House and 'Zosimos on the Shore' sounds like Max jamming with Yellow Magic Orchestra. One word “Essential”

More Berlin, less Monacco. That's the ethos of the new Max Essa project, Jan Ken Po: Less sun, less sea, yachts and money; more twilight hour, basement clubs, up-tempo rhythms and dance floor politics. Hailing from the UK but currently residing in Japan, Max Essa's aptly name Jan Ken Po side-project is a welcome new addition to Essa's quiver of music and sounds. The primarily instrumental cuts focus on clean house-centric lines, irresistible deep-rooted grooves and Essa' flair at capturing that special something. 'NYC Set Me Free' kicks off the record in fine style; all tight cowbell rhythms and piano riffs over a walking bass synths and a catchy lead. Title track 'Unlimited Man' follows, with it's icy cool persona and infectious double-clap rhythm holding together the call-and-response keys. 'Civilised Gangbang' goes in swinging, bouncing groove and rising synths aplenty. 'Palm Beach boy Trees' brings the tempo down a notch and introduces the first sniff of a human voice with the vocoded phrase 'beach boys' looped over crunching synths and other sublime artifacts. An 80's phaser bass is actioned to perfection in 'Horny Diplomat,' followed neatly by the synth rock-disco / xylophone throwdowns of 'First Touch.' 'Metropolitan Scene' oozes class and restraint, and could be the backing track to a 80's vocal house classic. Finishing things off 'Rhapsody in Leather' allows Essa's trusty rhythm guitar to lead the limelight with some super-lean riffage. Essa's touched a new base with this record, and we're happy to be finally sharing it with you.

Max Essa returns to Feel Music!!!! Its almost impossible to convey the scope of "Iberia Sequences" in a 45 second clip, so you gotta take our word for it, 10 minutes of pure bliss, the definition of a musical journey. On the flip side "Islands" mixes 80's club sounds with a touch of classic house and of course that by now classic Max Essa feel, while Mr. Fabrizio Mammarella on remix duties takes the A side up a notch with some acid disco dancefloor action.

OVERVIEW: Welcome to the Mirrorball Motel - the shimmering nocturnal world of Future Disco from the NeedWant label. It's a 19-track exploration of the magical and escapist sounds of artists like Digitalism, Cinthie, Bondax, Reflex, Roosevelt and more. The Mirrorball Motel is a place that transports you to another place, a party you don't want to end and when it does, you'll feel it was all a dream. It’s where the magic happens, an evening without inhibitions, where you dance without thinking. Musically it's a mix of all forms of disco and house as represented here.
This bumper collection features five exclusive new tunes. Daisybelle & Tasty Lopez's 'Starlight' (Future Disco Ballroom Dub) has a classic disco feel from the two first ladies of the green. Italoconnection - 'All Over' (Future Disco Edit) brings an eighties vibe that reminds of Ibiza venue Pikes, whilst the mysterious Clive From Accounts 'You Understand' impresses with its soaring strings and house bassline. The final two exclusives are Charlie Hepworth's 'It's Satisfaction' with its full thrill house drums and acid flashes, and Boys Shorts's 'Suburban Love Affair' (Brian Ring Remix), which sounds like summer on the shores of Los Angeles in 1989.
Elsewhere is the simple but effective future disco of Bondax, a Brazilian via French disco cut from PPJ, and exciting and intricate grooves from the trio of Breakbot, Irfane & Yuksek. There is euphoric 90s house from Saison, challenging yet reassuring vocal work from the legendary Roisin Murphy as remixed to perfection by the wizard that is The Reflex and much more besides. More

Ejeca - Zyfer
House and techno purveyor Ejeca delivers with a high-octane release, ‘Keep Climbing EP’ on Needwant Records, which celebrates 100 releases. The four-tracker is available on a limited run of vinyl. From its inception, Needwant has focussed on pioneering the sounds of tomorrow, developing exciting artists in the world of crossover dance and electronic music including lau.ra, Kiwi, and Ejeca, who first released on the label in 2013. The title track kicks off the EP with serious force; heavy kicks and a glitchy melody loops hypnotically before making way for the track’s commanding vocal which is equally entrancing. Like its title, ‘Keep Climbing’ builds and builds, generating full-throttle energy that is finally erupted after a euphoric piano breakdown. ‘Vader’ reduces the pace and deepens the mood with a deep humming bassline, twinkling chords, and eerie strings. A breakdown follows with Ejaca’s signature ravey piano-lines in combination with hooky top-line vocals that seamlessly takes the track into peak-time party territory. The track is dynamic, enthralling, and highlights the depth to Ejeca’s production. ‘Won’t Beat Me’ is colourfully uplifting from the offset with bright piano and arpeggiating pads shimmering in tandem. The vocal is contagiously catchy, topping the instrumentation with positive energy which is present throughout the track’s duration. ‘Won’t Beat Me’ is a peak-time club big-hitter. Rounding off the EP is ‘Zyfer’ which boasts uncompromisingly chunky kicks and raw industrial echoes, before cleverly switching to a contrasting sonic soundscape in true Ejeca style. 8-bit arpeggiating chords bubble before warping into a driving club melody which dances on top of the heavy-hitting kicks and groovy percussion. The EP perfectly captures the ethos of Needwant; forward-thinking music with innovative ideas from an artist who contributed to the label in its early stages. 100 releases on and Needwant continues to push the sounds of tomorrow in slick style.

Kiwi - Kiya (Dreamscape Mix)
The infamous Kiwi returns to Needwant with his second EP on the London label (home to the likes of The Revenge, Ejeca, Maxxi Soundsystem and many more) On this cut Kiwi does what he does best by incorporating emotion and grit into dance music. The EP features 3 mixes of ‘Kiya’ as well as a remix from underground hero Brian Ring. The record has already seen support form the likes of Theo Kottis, AME, Tensnake, catz n dogz, Nick Warren & Fort Romeau to name a few. The record opens with the original version of ‘Kiya' which features warm bass tones, spaced out synth lines, shuffling percussion and a tribal-esq vocal.

Johannes Albert is a producer as diverse as they come. Comfortable across all sub genres of dance music from deep house to italo disco, in Italy they call him Giovanni Alberto. He’s been praised by the likes BICEP, Gerd Janson, Lauer and the Keinemusik crew, and he’s only just getting started. The Dancing Plague EP is summer music for summer people. Opening with the hefty, wonky basslines of the club ready; TPTS. Gravy Train is a combination of grooving bass-lines and disco drums, the end result is a solid dancefloor stomper. The uniquely titled Pachanga follows, abundant with nu disco and italo references. This is a real summer track, as the sun sets in the city ahead of a huge party, the one that will entice the shyest of dancers to move. Keeping with the off the cuff track names, the EP finishes with the dusty, sun tinged Rainbow Pan.

Ashworth's Grain LP captured the imagination of many in the music world on it's release last year. After releasing two original EP's from the album we get an excellent remix package from three leading lights in electronic music. What better way to wrap up his debut with Needwant. The EP serves up three very different remixes all for a different occasion and mood. The ever reliable Dorisbourg, who remains one half of the lauded Genius of Time, takes a laidback Electronica approach but with Techno at it's heart. Newcomer Kris Davis and Yost keep the original feel of Cork but provide a sensual but progressive vibe.
While Simon Haydo drives all the way to the end with his remix of Fireworks. Great production on show across the EP for the emerging producer Ashworth. More
