A fan favourite from ‘Electronic Excursions’; ‘Celeste’ is all about the slow burn. With a moody, hypnotic analogue arpeggiator that ebbs and flows throughout this +8 minute ‘electronic excursion’ & meaty synth brass summoning up memories of Pink Floyds’ Dark Side of the Moon’. Gai Barone’s remix is without doubt one of his finest – and darkest – to date; soaking the listener in reverb this version is at home on a very dark, sweaty, strobe pulsed dance floor. Gai makes the arpeggiator contract and explode, kind of like an audible singularity, then lets the LFO filters have their wicked way post drop.

[item value="10"]Hal Stucker - Celeste incl Gai Barone remix[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Hal Stucker aka David Forbes delivers an excellent club mix of Celeste which is a warm melodic calming slowly evolving and highly involving progressive beauty that creates excellent atmosphere that has the daydream influence on any listener as you will feel definitely above and away from anything that binds you with the mandate reality. The absolute track to loose yourself in the music and never find the way out of it. The spiral synths along with the little piano chords and the background that has hints of being balearic but at the same time dark and very moody build magnificent atmosphere. Gai Barone remix transforms the original with its slow paced deep basslines, crunchy percussion and stunning long cinematic breakdown that allows the swirling synths to shine and sparkle until the big crescendo moment of excitement followed by the climax that carries the listener for that mysterious journey of moody textures and adventurous avant garde arrangement to surprise and captivate. #PureGold Love IT [/content]
