We’re very happy to welcome aboard acclaimed producer Max Essa’s Jansen Jardin label. Max, relocated to Tokyo some years ago and established the label to showcase some of Japan’s most interesting new underground artists Having already achieved cult status in their native Tokyo, the Jansen Jardin label’s fourth release (and the first available outside of Japan) is this stunning track from the wonderful Yuki Suzuki. Written and produced for Yuki by Tokyo resident Max Essa (Bear Funk, Is It Balearic?) ‘Need Your Love’ harks back to a golden era in house music. Yuki’s gorgeous, yearning voice brings to mind the sort of 5. A.M dance floor epiphanies that in these homogenised times can seem like an all too distant memory. Typically funky guitar work from Max along with beautiful string parts and lush pads combine to make this a truly great record. The remix comes courtesy of New York disco genius, Lee Douglas (Rong, TBD, Stallions). We think this is one of his finest productions to date. Lee takes the emotional charge of the original and turns it into an incredible feel good summer anthem. Somewhere between the classic early 90’s productions of people like Don Carlos and Frankie Knuckles and a more contemporary dubbed out vibe, Lee has pulled out all the stops and made what will surely be a major part of the soundtrack to the summer.
