Float Me (Celeste Lear Jet Remix)

"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.

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…

This specially formatted & curated ‘Ecstatic Dance’ style set DJ Celeste set was recorded live, with love on Venice Beach February 16th 2025.

DJ CELESTE - ECSTATIC DANCE LA - FEB 2025

As more of an electronic music producer and DJ the last 15 years, creating the song "Embers in the Air" felt like a return to my acoustic roots and having grown up in the 90’s, is me getting back in touch with my teenage self. It was written on a warm, starry summer night playing guitar on my front porch in Calabasas, California in 2022 when I was deeply and MADLY in love with a man who ultimately… broke my poor heart. Such is the world, and the dangerous territory of opening your heart (and choosing to ignore major red flags). But, as beauty somehow always arises from tragedy, like a phoenix from the ashes, after finally getting the strength (and courage) to release it - I would now like to dedicate this song to all of the hopeless, idiot romantics in the world like me, falling in love with devils and still remaining angels. Cello work by the phenomenal Aaron Sinclair and guitars, bass and vocals by yours truly!

Mysterious You

1929 - written and produced by Celeste Lear with additional production chops by Duke Skellington 

Verse 1:
It’s a high time, underneath the stars,
A fine time for romance, a fine time for guitars…
Don’t lead me on, down that dead end lane, 
Just close your eyes and sing along, Lime Light Cabaret. 
Cabaret…

Verse 2:
Pour some champagne, light some Mary Jane, 
Feast my eyes upon you, you’re my sugar cane. 
If the world ends tomorrow, all we have’s today,
Can I be your leading lady, in a passion play?
Passion play.

Pre chorus: 
Don’t spend to long think it over, 
Just might be your four leaf clover…

Chorus: 
Well, well it’s time, they say that love is blind
It’s my heart that I follow, to beg steal and borrow.
Until we get it right, Dance me through the night. 
I want to live my life like it’s 1929. 

Verse 3:
Wouldn’t it be lovely, wouldn’t it be grand? 
To have a lot of money, a great big bank account. 
Wouldn’t you like to go, sail around the world sometime?
Thailand, Bali, Singapore, I want to be Shanghei’d …
Shanghei’d

Verse 4:
If you dream at night, I hope it’s something sweet.
I hope you dream of angels, I hope you dream of me. 
The big hand is ticking, the small hand takes it’s time. 
Time flies when you’re having fun, so put your hand in mine. 

Chorus: 
Well, well it’s time, they say that love is blind
It’s my heart that I follow, to beg steal and borrow.
Until we get it right, Dance me through the night. 
I want to live life like it’s 1929. I want to live life like it’s 1929.

Love Is Alive Feat. Mozez By Celeste Lear

This edgy, new-school hip hop single release, “Dark Clouds Rich Soul”, is a joint release that blends the unique vision and studio production skills of DJ Celeste Lear with the lyrical wizardry of conscious rapper RA-BE 333. Both are friends and professional recording/performing artists based out of Northern California, where they have teamed up together in studio and at various music festivals to unleash their sound and vision.  

This song displays a darker, moodier west coast hip hop vibe painted with mysterious sounding trip-hop tinged synth melodies and infused with futuristic, sub-heavy low end.  The lyrics and spitfire vocal performance by RA-BE 333 is truly poetic, inspirational and goes deep. The message? The dark storms that you have to go through in your own life, will ultimately make your soul shine in the end…

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. 

Love, DJ Celeste

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.
