Continental Drift

A 12 track leftfield/idm album () — released March 30th 2009 on Bearfunk

UK born but currently based in Japan, Max Essa delivers something of a masterpiece to open 2009. 'Continental Drift' is the culmination of 3 years of production at Bear Funk towers. The album includes the highlights from Max's previous twelves on the label and a host of other disco delights. Using live drums, guitars and bass coupled with layers of glossy keys, 'Continental Drift' delivers the beautifully produced, slick Disco sound that is his trademark. Tracks such as 'Slo-Mo Sapien', 'Dead Acrobat' and 'Back To The Beach' showcase the laidback, slo-mo disco side of Max's sound. Elsewhere melodic groovers such as 'Telepath' and 'Rooftop Rendezvous' sound like undiscovered Level 42 gems. Recent single, 'Drive Time' conjures up visions of sunsets, sweeping vistas and long lazy days. Take a trip down Highway 101 with your tour guide, Mr Max Essa. Selected DJ Reactions Padded Cell - A really decent album, far superior to most of the slow-mo house crap around at the moment. This will make perfect sense on holiday with sun and sea... Steve O'Connor (Ministry of Sound Radio) - Great Music. Perfect for our Chilled Sessions. David Vega (Ministry of Sound Radio) - I think a good description of these tracks would be 'lovely'. The name continental drift totally sums up the mood of the album. Excellent production and a pleasure to listen to.
