Alex Galvan - Journey

Alex Galvan is an entrancing organic house artist from Mexico whose invigorating style is a fusion of mesmerising synths and upbeat percussion. 2023 has been a big year for Alex who recently dropped his ’Magic Carpet’ EP via Nhii’s record label, Sounds of Khemit. Not only did that EP reach Top 10 in the Beatport sales charts, but it also picked up DJ support from many of organic house’s most influential DJs ranging from Lee Burridge to Sébastien Léger. His ’Lumingo’ EP released via WAYU Records also charted inside of Beatport’s Top 10 when it dropped earlier this year. Not only has Alex Galvan been busy in the studio, he has also been active inside the DJ booth, as he played spellbinding shows at clubs and festivals, and in 2024 he is launching his new live show that incorporates decks, synths, vocals, and a guitarist. He has a fine-tuned ear that helps him find the perfect tracks to enrapture the dance floor, and he is able to translate this into his own productions. 2024 is set to be another big year for Alex, but he is closing this year with one last release, as he has provided Dialtone Records with the lead track for their 16 Years Anniversary VA. “Journey“ is a previously unreleased track that Alex Galvan is releasing as part of the 16 Years Anniversary VA, and the release features a total of 9 tracks, including others by Michael Simon, Monojoke, VieL, Chris Hinguer, Juani Bria, Salas (CR), Sebastian Campo and KAZKO. All of the tracks on the 16 Years Anniversary VA are impressive pieces of music, but Alex Galvan’s track sets the scene as one of the strongest on the release. “Journey“ has poignant piano chords layered with rolling congas and shuffling hi-hats that are underpinned by a deep bassline. Its trippy melody synth and rising pads lead to the tranquillity of the breakdown, which introduces a profound vocal sample, before the track lifts with the help of sensual vocal tones that complement the melody.
