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”

you've ever heard a crunching Roland system 100 bass line ringing in your ears at 5.00am in the morning, there is a good chance that it has been written by Andy Meecham. Whether as Emperor Machine, Sir Drew, Chicken Lips or even Bizarre Inc his music rolls and waves in incredible ways and sheds light on all the probable combinations of familiar sounds. Morning Banger is certainly a hot potato! Upon the first listen you're hooked in with the slightly aggressive Korg Delta drawing you in. The track builds and builds into a crescendo of beautiful tension and before you know it your brain is eagerly awaiting the next step of the journey.

We’re proud present the inaugural message from the world of Valley Sound. Valley Sound is new label put together by a few old heads. Our aim is merely act as a vehicle for the lovely music that comes our way. Puller Productions are Stevie Kotey & Damien Manestar a team brought together by the complete coincidence of moving next door to each other. Damien a synth programmer and all round genius with a love of Fusion and Progressive rock music. He is also the originator of “Never the Machine” a fusion band with which he plays the meanest Hammond organ. With that in mind they embarked on a journey create some dance floor heat. “Sentimental Feelings” went all around studio when Damien first hit the notes on the DX synth. It’s like you’ve already heard this classic before as the production (mainly midi based machines) is spot on for the retro “ye old house” sound Mums & Dads used to dance too. A bass line from New York, Strings from Detroit and Piano’s from any major city in the UK circa 1988. We gave Ray Mang the task of remixing “Sentimental Feelings”. His credentials as super producer are known across the globe with countless projects for labels like U STAR, DFA, NOID and his own Fiasco. He delivered a mind blowing deep remix a real killer! The angelic pianos of “For Ava” go down a more emotional route. Warm pads create a sunny outlook across the valley. Man of the moment Mark E provides yet another amazing remix. We love Mark’s stripped down take of “For Ava” he adds layer upon layer to create a monster as we get Sedna (The goddess of the ocean) deep. Back very soon VS HQ
