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. "Really beautiful stuff here." (Timeout NYC) "Nice floaty vibes!" (iDJ) "In love with the Max Essa mixes!" (Blow Up Mag) "A great collection of remixes. Tip!" (Disco Bloodbath)
