Max Essa

UK born, Japanese-based Max Essa delivers us a tasty morsel and appetizer for his upcoming album on Bearfunk. ''Drive Time'' is a slice of trademark slick, slo-mo disco. With live drums, rolling bass synths and sundrenched chord changes, the track conjures up visions of sunsets, surfboards, highway 101 and long lazy days. Irish based John Daly delivers his re-rub on the flip, adding in chunky stabs and rolling synth lines... but still managing to retain the slo-mo feel.
