Galtier

Producer of Dance
A.k.a. Jiah Wells

Amongst the ever expanding collective of today’s club music DJ’s and producers, Galtier stands out boldly with a unique approach to what is already a highly diverse realm of the electronic music culture. Early endeavours into his interest in club music found Galtier spinning Drum & Bass tunes from the age of 16 on the southeast coast of Australia. Not content on the one style however, Galtier began to explore other genres over the span of the past 8 years, drawing from House, Techno, Dubstep, and UK Garage, finally discovering the freedom and possibilities within the global club music scene. Fast-forward to 2017, Galtier now calls Bristol home. Through this and his other influences, Galtier manages to identify as a standalone producer through applying his deep interest in other areas of cultural media to his sound, moving laterally away from the linear. His distinctive interest in rhythm and percussion - coupled with a love for 1980’s science fiction, fantasy, anime and action films that he grew up watching - help sculpt his compositions into imaginative, thematic club tracks. With 10 years experience on the controls and an eclectic collection of tracks at his disposal, a Galtier set is limitless. His cohesive understanding of music accompanied by his passion for creating his own unique and stylistic approach has won him admiration and respect on an international scale. Having graced the controls on Teki Latex’s Overdrive Infinity, many guest shows on a range of radio platforms and a residency on Bristol’s 10 Twenty, it is clear Galtier knows what he is doing. His back-catalogue features releases on influential labels such as Infinite Machine, NAAFI, Files Rec and Druid Cloak's Apothecary Compositions. His presence is furthered through support from radio presenters and DJ’s including Mumdance, Faze Miyake, Mike G, Celestial Trax, PAN, Bok Bok, B.Traits and Sound Pellegrino, along with online platforms as Mixmag, XLR8R, Boiler Room & Dummy sharing high acclaim of his production.
