Gerry Galago

His innocent days almost numbered. He's 7 years old when Vangelis his music begins to hypnotize him. No, not hypnotize, because that would mean that at some point, he would snap out of it. That at some point, it would stop. Over the years it has become more than evident that there are no words to describe what happened to him. A mixture of passion, love and a whole bundle of other emotions where planted in him that day. His passion for music awakened at 7 years old and not strangely, his innocent days were over. The days that he could sleep without having fondled little o' miss music had gone.

I could go on and on about him; Gerry teaching himself playing the grand piano, playing at school concerts and so on, but that seems more like a documentary. So how about we take a leap in time and I try to explain something words can't really grasp. A 9 year leap seems fair? 16 years old. For most that means hair growing in places not for all to see. For some it means graduating or almost graduating. For Gerry it meant all of the above ánd it was the year he lost it; his dj virginity. And folks; we all remember our first, don't we? Playing at paradiso. The smoke, the music, bodily fluids from people who seem immune to deodorant; he remembers it all. And when he thinks back; he closes his eyes inhales deep through his nose and a smile only constructed from love and passion appears on his face.
Before I continue explaining why Galago is an excellent example of upcoming awesomeness, I need to explain something else. This is not a résumé, this is not a place where I explain at what places Galago has made our drunk(and even sober) hearts pump like madness with his music. This is the place where I explain just who is this guy passed the dj booth. Seems like there is a lot of explaining to do. So I'll get right to it.
The moment he popped his cherry, he wanted more. That's something we've all felt, isn't it?
You see for Gerry, it's not about Gerry. It's about all those people that he looks at from his dj booth. His music is not about getting as many people to stomp the ground to dance.
His music is about people stomping the crowd because they feel it, his music, his passion. These words are not enough. He ignites your passion, your emotion and when I say 'your' I also mean that of the hundreds, sometimes thousands, of people around you.
Just like a red rose stands for love, Gerry Galago stands for passionate emotions.
Which emotion? Depends on how he, ánd you, are feeling.

2012. Yes, another time skip. 7 years this time. Galago enters the revolution recruits Ibiza Carl Cox contest. Out of the 4000 contestants he finishes 8th. 8th.. This means he beat 3992 other dj's. I can't remember the time I beat 3992 people at, well, anything, can you? His year begins. Playing internationally in different countries, but that's just it. The only thing different, is the country. The smoke, the bodily fluids, the decibels, the people, some sober but most intoxicated, stomping the ground because they feel, these things; they've remained unchanged. Enough said. How about you feel it?
