“Galaxia” is one of most iconic classics by Ferry under his Moonman alias. Originally released was the track in 1996 on the German label Go For It and was also the first Moonman track ever. Now Ferry himself reworked this classic together with Kristian Nairn. This rework is much slowed down and combines the iconic groove of Kristian with Ferry’s original melody. The result is outstanding.
 
Introducing the standout elements synonymous with the original early on, the heavily delayed melody kicks off proceedings along with a repetitive note which gives the track its groove and works to drive the track forward, joined quickly by a warm pad that provides the perfect soundbed for the track, working within the harmonic framework of the original but cranking the production values to incorporate unmistakably fresh sounding synth work. This is highlighted by the main breakdown, which sees the pad replaced by a piano accompaniment, while the synth melodies open up their envelope to present the track in all its anthemic glory.
 
Kristian Nairn commets: “Galaxia is one of the favourite tracks from my early days of clubbing. Naturally, when I got the chance to work with Ferry on it, I jumped on it. I tried to keep the warm feel of the track and come at it with my own melodies.”
 
Ferry adds: “‘I never thought that Galaxia would’ve had such a long span over the years when I first released it under Moonman but it still seems to resonate. I’m very happy to see everyone still remembers the track and it feels great to bring Kristian on board to freshen it up.”
