"Galestian certainly made this for fans that love the darker blends of techno, melodic house, and progressive house. This is an EP for the deeper generation – the ones who want to gravitate towards the latest musical styles taking over the global market, the ones who think beyond the biggest names in the business, the ones who support the scene's growth.
Starting with the title track "Worlds Apart," Galestian centers his strength in a strong bass element with deep progressive growling synths. This is a track one would expect on something like Drumcode or Pryda Presents – dark, focused, and full of vibes. By the break, the track's ethnic oud flair steps up to the plate and instantly becomes an infection. The flair… oh the flair… it will take you over!
Next up in the trio is "Mesmerised" – a techno piece through and through. Articulated and running percussion and bass patterns punctuate all the right spots – energy is there through and through. The soft plucked lead enchants the ears equally and recalls the beauty found on Daft Punk's Tron Legacy soundtrack – stunning. There is something special in the arrangement of elements here – so give it a whirl or two!
Finally, we come to the closing original piece – "Odyssey." Opening with a more organic rhythm, the track drones in the low end with another plucked melody taking the stage. There are fills that tickle the beauty in the ears and dark elements that cloud each section of the track as it progresses. The energy bounces but never feels overwhelming. Just gold throughout.
On the remix tip are the US DJ/Production duo Bonsai and rising star Anakim:
Bonsai tackles the title track with a dark, brooding progressive feel that maintains the core but touches it up with some amazing atmospherics. The haunting vocal elements in this work are memorable for both the drone and the elements they provide in transitions.
Anakim tackles the final track with a remix that hones itself on big kicks, broader synthesizer choices, and layered elements. This remix is a peak-hour techno floor filler without the need for catchy vocal hooks or an overbearing melody. It simply drives.
Worlds Apart exudes exactly what we need right now! Take the plunge – you will enjoy it!"
