    NME

    “The house-influenced duo tear up every show they play, regardless of who they’re billed with. A room full of indie kids, a room full of disco lovers, a room full of punks – they all fall hard for the Galaxians party.”

    “Fiercely danceable astral-gazing electro with the dials cranked”.

    THE SKINNY // Beacons festival review

    “The duo’s mix of 16-bit synths and offbeat rhythms is an instant party trigger in the Noisey tent, with a partisan local crowd buoying them as they bounce their way through a journey of manipulated transmissions and veering hooks – each in turn spiking the mass in front into vigorous, hip-shaking action.”

    OUR FAVOURITE PLACES // Tramlines festival preview

    “Channeling New York’s late ‘80s “freak disco” (Was Not Was, Liquid Liquid, Arthur Russell) and Detroit’s Acid House scenes, Galaxians produce a maximum output from minimal set-up.”

    PICCADILLY RECORDS // Manchester

    “Leeds two piece Galaxians follow up their boogie bomb on Rotating Souls with ‘Personal Disco Component’, another EP of electronic funk brilliance on America’s Dither Down.”

    “Rotating Souls return with this f-f-f-fresh four tracker from Leeds two piece Galaxians. Their heritage may be more Burley than Brooklyn, but you’d never have guessed from the killer tunes and peachy production on this bumpin Boogie 12″.”

    DITHER DOWN RECORDS // New York

    “When Leeds duo Galaxians formed in 2012, their mission was clear, to bring back BEAT, and at a breakneck pace, including releases on Rotating Souls (ATLANTA) and Leeds’s own Stargaze, plus stages shared with the likes of Tom Tom Club, Golden Teacher, Zombie Zombie, Horse Meat Disco, Discodeine, and The Juan Maclean.

    It’s their inherent love of NYC’s hard attack, that makes the bounce of Ducket$z through the slippery glide of Skydive all the more, visceral and exciting. Say hello to your new favorite Gang of Two, Galaxians.”

    NARC Magazine Feature

    Galaxians are within the same playful electronic sound-frame of artists like Todd Terdje, Errors and Hot Chip. Jed Skinner and Matt Woodward make the kind of ear-pleasing music that’s never takes itself too seriously – always up for a bit of tongue-in-cheek fun, but at the same time brilliantly exacted. The Leeds-based duo have been kicking about since 2012 and have released two vinyl EPs – Personal Disco Component and Galaxians back in June, which have a hint of early LCD Soundsystem and even some Beverly Hills Cop in its four visceral tracks. Live, Galaxians stir up head-nodding funky grooves using drum machines and retro synthesisers – mixing elements of old school dance and soul music wrapped in thumping and clicking beats. After successful stints at Beacons festival and Tramlines festival over the summer – making gig-goers across the UK dance and gawp in appreciative awe in equal measure, the duo are back on the road and heading to Sunderland’s Independent on Saturday 13th December for a night of neo-disco goodness. Get yourself down.

    Galaxians play Sunderland’s Independent on Saturday 13th December.

     

  • GALAXIANS “PARTY MASTERCLASS” SAYS REVIEW OF BEACONS FESTIVAL

    GALAXIANS “PARTY MASTERCLASS” SAYS REVIEW OF BEACONS FESTIVAL

    Whoa – ace review of Beacons Festival 2013 here from The Shepherd – a great new music blog that looks pretty exciting.  We got a nice review, “party masterclass” is probably the nicest two words anyone’s ever said to us!  Thanks guys.

    They’ve also done an interview with us, which should be up on their site soon, and put together a ‘highlights’ video which we’ve linked to below, featuring our track “My Shit Is Custom” (out end-2013).  Watch out for the naked dude on the inflatable slide…

    We totally enjoyed Beacons, even in spite of the rain on Saturday!  Highlights for us included Cowtown, Hookworms, Sky Larkin, Savages and Menace Beach.

    Roll on summer 2014…
