A pillar of the West Coast and American dance music scenes, Galen perfected his skills in the ’90s on long and eclectic DJ sets at renegade & warehouse parties.
First among them: his own Sunset Sound System events, a DIY happening in which he played adventurous sets every Sunday in a park framed by the setting sun, the ocean and the Golden Gate Bridge.
With some friends in common, we’ve been meaning to interview Galen for years, and took the opportunity presented by the release of his new Magic Bus EP, out May 9 on Justin Martin’s What To Do label. We’re honored to share this new cover mix as well, which Galen made exclusively for 5 Mag.
“This mix is an ode to the house music sound I was first exposed,” Galen tells us. “Not only does it showcase my latest tracks in the flow of a DJ mix, but it is also full of textures and long blends that traverse a delectable journey of ’90s nostalgia and modern production.”
