Ecstatic Dance LA - DJ Celeste - Venice Beach - April 18th 2021

"Reality Bends", written, produced & engineered by multi-instrumentalist DJ Celeste (Lear) displays a combination of discipline in chill bass, future bass & trap production fused with tribal musical elements & polished off with deep, sub bass programming to seriously wobble your speakers. The inspiration behind the title comes from various "cosmonaut" related personal experiences that had seemed to have "bend" the laws of reality just enough to give impetus to Celeste to write some seriously weird new psychedelic music!

Released by Muti Music Records on the Earthdance 2021 compilation, Celeste lands alongside revered bass music artists; The Desert Dwellers, Soohan, Hååna, Mimosa, etc. 

Celeste is deaf in her right ear from a car accident at 16 & went on to study sound engineering regardless, helping advance the deaf community.
Unreleased.

This is a bouncy, chill house inspired track that I remixed for the uber talented cellist Rena Jones. Her original track was much more mellow and ambient, I decided to give it a more uptempo spin for the sake of variation. I love the way this track turned out.

Ok, I am kind of enamored with rapper Lafa Taylor right now. So happy that artists like this are keeping conscious lyrics alive in a world of corporate how low can you go rap/crap. I took the acapella version of his track "Forever Lost" and mixed it into one of my tracks from my new album to see how it would sound - what do you guys think??

Forever Lost Feat. Lafa Taylor (DJ Celeste Lear Remix)

This DJ set was recorded at Live Oaks Ranch for the annual Troubadour music micro-festival. Thanks to David & Lysa for creating such a haven for people to come and experience music in nature. I had SUCH a wonderful time and was so inspired to get to perform a Sunday Daytime set for the community.

Diamond Dust & Wanderlust is one of the singles off of Celeste Lear's album titled SONIC FIELDS. Trip Hop and Glitch are combined with pop and downtempo electronica in this melodic little gem which features the vocals and programming/production skills of Celeste Lear and the beautiful and memorable cello playing by Bay Area favorite Cello Joe.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Something out there caught my eye, 
A distant glimmer, on a still horizon line.
My guardian angel fell asleep…
Always disaster, because I’m a slave to your beauty…

Chorus 1: 
Diamond Dust and Wander Lust…
Diamond Dust and Wander Lust – baby they deceive your eyes, always keeps me guessing twice…

Verse 2: 
Burning like the sun, a complicated star.
But, Baby don’t worry - I like you just the way you are…
I know that I’m blinded, by the glitter and the fame,
Hook, line and sinker, radio playing a wicked game.

Chorus 2: Diamond Dust and Wander Lust…
Diamond Dust and Wander Lust – baby they deceive your eyes, always keeps me guessing twice…

Bridge: 
Underneath a falling star, and I’m wandering, wandering on…

Verse 3:
Something good keeps me holding on…
Same melody from some familiar song.
Let me down easy my reckless love..
and I am wondering, Are you my devil or angel?

Chorus 3: 
Diamond Dust and Wander Lust…

Diamond Dust & Wanderlust (Feat. Cello Joe & Celeste Lear)

I want to fall, yeah, I want to feel the feeling too, yeah…
I like to savor everything, and I want to feel it with you…
But, sometimes I’m wishing, that you could see the things I do, 
I wish you would stop to take the time, because you know a woman needs to think things through.  

Chorus: 
Let’s take our time, baby - I’d like to see things unwind. 
Let’s take our time sugar – because you’re rushing me too much.
Let’s move it slow, baby – before we show too much off..  
Before you know it honey, we just might miss the best part of the song…

ENSHRINE is a percusive world music inspired, chill downtempo instrumental composition with a definite organic edge, acoustic guitar work by Celeste and a mysterious, moody, international aire. Inspired by Thievery Corporation, Porangui, CloZee and Nickodemus... 

Celeste’s signature use of creatively programmed and edited samples and loops, eclectic, exotic instrumentation, synth lines are clearly present as is her tendency towards appealing to the sophisticated listener who appreciates richness, depth, creative arrangement and general intricacy in their music.

This song was inspired by a trip to a tiny island called "Ilha Grande" off the coast of Rio, Brazil. I was traveling with my partner, who I was very in love with, we were wandering around the jungle at night and it was the first time we had ever seen fireflies. Pure magic.

Hi, The first time I heard this song, and to this day, I get the shivers. 

So, here is a fun future funk style remix/edit with a bass boost on Chaka Khan's "I Feel For You" hit R&B song from the 80's.

I Feel For You by Chaka Khan DJ Celeste Future Funk Remix

This set was recorded for Ecstatic Dance, in Oakland, CA on Weds, January 29th, 2020. I play live lead guitar with FX periodically through this mix.

I tend to curate a more eclectic set with many different genre blends, mostly in 10-20 minute blocks for the 3 hour period with energy bursts and then releases so that the dancers get a chance to rest between bursts. 

Focus is on fun dance rhythms, cutting edge music with an international vibe and a lot of bass!

DJ Celeste delves even deeper into the far creative corners of the universe to write, produce and engineer this spring of 2020 release of this new instrumental single and music video, “In Your Orbit”, but the real star of this truly unique track is Bay Area local legend and music festival favorite, “Cello Joe”, with his soaring, emotive and mystical cello playing mastery as the song’s melodic centerpiece.   

With inspiration borrowed from artists like, Bonobo, Tycho, Bibio, Rena Jones and Emancipator, this lush, art-forward, downtempo electronic composition fused with breakbeat influence and a delicate orchestral feel, Celeste’s signature use of creatively programmed and edited samples and loops, eclectic guitar parts and synth colorings are clearly present as is her tendency towards composing music that appeals to the sophisticated listener who appreciates richness, depth, dynamics and intricacy in their music…

The spectacularly creative accompanying Music Video for “In Your Orbit”, was created by Santa Barbara Based director and editor, Oscar Bucher.

This mix starts out a bit dark and gets lighter as it progresses. I am fearing some gorgeous tech/deep house with an emphasis on going deep/psychedelic for the late night Burning Man scene. 

Recorded live from BURN2 "Burnal Equinox" in Second Life Virtual Reality Burning Man simulation. My avatar performed this with a stage that I designed in 3D and imported and built into the simulation to perform in!!
