This track first appeared on the compilation album, "Sun Sun: Ceci N'Est Pas Une Compilation", released by Columbia France in 1997, and is now finally being reissued as a single 27 years later. A mix of breakbeat, latin, and jazz, influenced by artists like Santana and Flora Purim, the track led the way for Ski gaining an album deal with Columbia France, and cementing his solo career and a solo artist, remixer, and producer.
I was honoured to contribute to this album.
I played keyboards on the starred tracks.
I’m so excited that the first single from the brand new Galliano album 'Circles Going Round The Sun' is released on 22nd May 2024.
The album started life in October 2022 with some jams up at Ernie McKone’s legendary Boogieback Records studios, and this track was one of the first batch. I feel very privileged to have been able to play a part in the creation of this record and can’t wait for the album release later in the year together with a bunch of festival gigs!
The album 'Halfway Somwehere' is released on 30th August and you can pre-order it here: https://galliano.lnk.to/halfwaysomewherewe
RELEASED ON FRIDAY 17th FEBRUARY 2023!
Milton and Ski's first musical encounter occurred in 2006 when Ski remixed Milton's track '1998' for 'Tronicsole'. Milton reciprocated a year later, remixing Ski's track ‘Illuminations' on his own Primaudial Records. The two subsequently stayed in contact, with Ski occasionally providing keyboards for Milton, and Milton telling Ski the secrets of sidechain compression. However, it wasn't until 2022 that their musical relationship became truly collaborative, with a track written and produced together entitled 'Need Your Love' released as part of the 'Closer' EP on Freerange.
