about

Max Essa completes a trio of terrific releases on Hell Yeah with The Great Adventure EP. It's packed with more grown up dance floor dynamite and later in the year will be collected together with the
first two parts to make for a full album.

By now you will know that Essa is part of the UK's Balearic mafia.
He's served up big tunes on Is It Balearic?, Aficionado, Music For Dreams, Jansen Jardin and his music always acts as a sonic raft that floats you out to sea and leaves you bobbing up and down in a state of pure bliss.

Opener 'Tombolo' starts as acoustic music and the sound of a muffled
crowd but soon awakens into an uptempo affair littered with toms,
guitar licks and claps that are driven by bumping drums. There are
elements of old school, Italo and classic house but somehow it feels
completely new and fresh as it takes you ever higher.

'The Great Adventure' is masterfully sun kissed disco with crisp 80s
drums, love struck chords and a yacht rock feel that is pure joy,
something like topless dancing with sand between your toes and
umbrellas in your cocktails.

Closer 'Fool in the Pool' sinks into gentle tabla drums and unhurried
chords. It's horizontal and thoughtful - the sound of a lazy afternoon
somewhere on the Mediterranean coast, gazing at glistening seas
through the romantic lens flare in your sunglasses.

This EP is already great feedback from the DJ dons who have been
giving it early plays, so act now to snap up your first summer sounds
of 2020.
