Gallegos is a name that’s been on many people's lips over the past few years.
Based in Bristol but with an ever expanding global reach - he has been nurturing his unique take on dance music, gaining legions of fans along the way with releases on Holding Hands, Banoffee Pies, Semi Delicious and Permanent Vacation plus regular slots at Panorama Bar.

Gallegos, first name Oliver - deals in feelings rather than genres. The productions on his debut effort for RS INTL channel a 90’s rave euphoria. Luscious pads swirl amidst pitched down jungle drums, celestial strings and philosophical vocal snippets that evoke ecstatic joy.


It’s no mean feat to induce a feeling of elation without the means of a synthetic intervention - but Ollie seems to have cracked the code - taking us there with harmony, texture and rhythm alone - nothing synthetic here: this is alchemy at play…

The EP - which in all honesty feels more like a mini album - is a real journey across 5 songs and 29 minutes. It’s about equally split between driving rhythmic compositions created with movement in mind, and pensive ambient detours that are more sonic meditations than anything else. The album reaches its most dizzying heights when these two elements come together in unison for the title track, “Memories You’ve Memorised'' - a widely road-tested future classic which blends scattered Juno chords, arpeggiated church organ and 80s vocal samples to a tear-jerking crescendo.

Memories You’ve Memorised elevates Oliver Gallegos to the top tier of modern electronic composition. There’s comparisons to be made to Primal Scream, Underworld and even Aphex Twin - but after all is said and done, we’re witnessing the coming of age of a future pioneer.

Academy Records with BEN HIXON @ The Lot Radio 04-08-2025

Lay Down The Groove is a vinyl-focused label originally founded in Colombia in 2016 but now based in Naarm/Melbourne. After a brief hiatus, the label is back with 'Transcend', an EP by Palazzo.

'Transcend', the EP's namesake, is a bright, fun & building house jam filled to the brim with squeaks, pops & claps building over uplifting pads.

Of the release, Palazzo shared that "I’m beyond excited to release ‘Transcend,’ my debut EP. This record is deeply personal, it reflects my journey from DJing to production, the emotions I’ve processed after my mum’s passing, and my experiences over six years in Naarm/Melbourne’s music scene. Blending Latin, Balearic, Tribal, and House influences, this EP is an authentic expression of the sounds I love."

Lay Down The Groove added that "after a couple of years without releasing music on our label, we’re thrilled to be back with an EP that truly reflects the sound and spirit of Lay Down The Groove. Palazzo has been a close friend and respected figure in the scene, and his EP is an immersive ride into the music we love. We couldn’t think of a better way to kick off this new chapter."

Palazzo EP is set to release via Lay Down The Groove's Bandcamp on Thursday, May 22 with a launch party at High Note that day, & at Skydiver the week following.

'Maintaining My Peace' is a collaboration with UK rapper/producer Novelist and US soulful house legend Stephanie Cooke—two artists we’ve long admired. Novelist was first introduced to our music through his mum, and after we reached out, he sent us a voice note from LA saying he was keen to link up as soon as he got back to London. You’ll hear that exact message at the very start of the track—a nod to the moment this journey began.
Not long after, Nov came by our studio and spent hours with Beans, deep in conversation about production techniques, life, and everything in between. That genuine exchange of energy and ideas directly influenced and shaped the lyrics Nov wrote that day—raw, reflective and grounded.
The track’s production pays homage to classic West Coast rap—we wanted that raw, laid-back, soulful feel. Once again, we brought in the talents of Immanuel Simelane on bass and Alex Cosmo Blake on guitar to help us capture that authentic G-funk texture. From the jump, it was clear the instrumental needed a voice like Nov’s and he floated over it effortlessly.
There was something missing however—we needed a hook and we knew exactly who we had in mind. After a long search, we finally managed to get in touch with one of our all-time favourite soulful house vocalists, Stephanie Cooke. To our surprise and excitement, she was totally down to be part of it. Her vocals brought exactly the warmth and emotion the track needed—she was the cherry on top.
The result is Maintaining My Peace, a smooth, heads down, introspective track that blends soul, self-reflection and that unmistakable West Coast influence.
