Electronic/Review Mike Galvin - Have We Found It? (feat. Natalie Holmes)
Mike Galvin began his musical journey with classical training before being drawn into the underground rave scene in Dublin, Ireland, in the 2000s after a brief spell playing in indie bands. Further inspiration was drawn from an appreciation of jazz and improvisational styles, epic movie scores, and the kinetic beats of the Berlin and Detroit house music and techno scenes before a move to Toronto in 2015.
Mike Galvin’s "Have We Found It?" is a mesmerizing fusion of melancholy and movement, seamlessly blending deep electronic soundscapes with Natalie Holmes' ethereal vocals. Released under the LVLD Music label, this track marks Galvin’s first collaboration with the UK singer-songwriter, resulting in an introspective yet dancefloor-ready experience.
The song’s production is lush and immersive, with floating synths that drift like distant memories while a pulsing bassline and hypnotic beat keep the track grounded in rhythm. Galvin masterfully balances a late-night, introspective feel with just the right amount of energy and groove to keep listeners engaged. Holmes' delicate, emotive voice adds an extra layer of depth, carrying the song’s emotional weight with effortless grace.
"Have We Found It?" stands out as a sonic journey, ideal for moments of quiet reflection or getting lost in the music on a dimly lit dancefloor. It’s a track that lingers in the mind long after it ends, showcasing Galvin’s talent for crafting atmospheric electronic music that speaks both to the heart and the body. If this collaboration is any indication, we can only hope for more from this duo in the future.
