Galestian Shines Bright on Enchanting New EP ‘A Warm Place’
Galestian is taking listeners on a spiritual journey with his new EP, A Warm Place, out 3rd February on his label imprint Global Entry Recordings.
The LA-born and Berlin-based melodic house and techno producer is an avid traveler whose spiritual and melodic influences span the globe, from the jungles of Bali through East Asia and the mountains of the Caucasus.
A Warm Place is no different. An enchanting and other-worldly collection, the three-track EP sees Galestian inviting the listener to face life’s many unknowns with a sense of hope and optimism.
Opening track ‘A Warm Place’ is an original vocal production, taking its inspiration from the desert sunrises of Nevada’s Burning Man event. Full of tribal rhythms, chiming bells and an enchanting vocal, the song is an open call to expand beyond the limitations of the mind. ‘Inner Child’ continues the journey with the scattered laughter of Galestian’s eldest nephew, sampled when he was only two years old. A frenetic and blissfully upbeat house track, it exudes the innocence and joy of a child. ‘Silver Lining’ sees Buddhist and Hindu influences coming to the fore as the artist finds meaning in the difficulties of life. Layered with analog synths and ethereal chants, the song is a mystical journey featuring ethnic instrumentation from around the world, inspired by Galestian’s travels through the jungles of Bali, the landscapes of Vietnam, and the mountains of the Caucasus.
Describing the EP, Galestian says: “I wrote this EP with the intention of breathing some hope and optimism into the world. There’s a spiritual concept called samsara, which is part of Buddhist and Hindu traditions, essentially stating that suffering is an integral part of life – that life is suffering. The belief is that if we can get beyond the attachments that keep us in a state of samsara, we can experience the ultimate liberation”.
