Feedbacks:IDJ MAG (UK): Barcelona´s galaktika have put out a series of well-recived singles this year.generally phloughing a fuller ,chunkier,more(whisper it)prog-tinged furrow than their numerous minimal peers,and the imprint seems to have foundits feet here with this stylish roster sampler.highlights include fresh fish player paulo olarte´srazor-sharp dubness("sin dormir"),joachim spieth´s rolling cybernetics("novembertraum"),martinez´s urgent minimal swing("whoop whoop")and the ubiquitous simon baker´s warme-centred("mind matters"),and while some might find all the polished surfacesand melodic quivers to be lacking a littlein the dirt department,there´s still plenty of sparkling club goodness nestling in-between the beats.it make about 90 per cent of similary proggy uk i´ve heard lately(and there´s a lot of it about)sound about a million years old,too.
BEATBURGUER.COM (SPAIN): “Desde su primera referencia publicada (?Vertical movement? del danés Martinez) ya se veía que el sello Galaktika no se conformaba solamente con ser un pequeño label de la Ciudad Condal. Con ambiciones internacionales pero sin pasar por alto la escena local, la conexión Venezuela-Barcelona-Europa que han conformado los primeros trabajos del sello les ha hecho ganarse unos estupendos réditos artísticos. No en vano ?y bajo mi punto de vista- Galaktika es uno de los sellos más respetados y respetables de la escena tech house modernete de nuestro país y Europa. Y para celebrar que todo les va bastante guapamente y que están muy contentos por publicar la música que más les gusta y que hacen sus amiguetes, acaban de publicar su primer recopilatorio, ?Movimientos?. Compilación que refleja perfectamente el enfoque sonoro que desde el barrio de Gràcia quieren imprimir en el sello: gentil tech house con gusto por pasearse por las profundidades de la mente, house tirando a minimal y clickeante pero pistero ?sin caer en lo soporífero como les pasa a muchos artistas del gremio minimalguay- y sobretodo, mucho groove y sintéticos sonidos para la pista de baile. Menos perrofláuticos y más galáktikos es lo que hace falta en el barcelonés barrio citado anteriormente. ”
BIGSHOT MAGAZINE (USA): “After a brief two years on the scene, the folks at Galaktika have been redefining techno into a modern approach of futuristic proportions. Always coming through with huge melodies, solid mixes, fresh synth programs and new ideas on arrangement, it is no wonder why all the top jocks are canning these tracks in their peak sets. This compilation contains tracks from Simon Baker, Pablo Bolivar, Martinez, Anthony Collins, Joachim Spieth, Paulo Olarte and Oriol Benedet just to name a few. So varied yet so on point, this installation is a necessity for any versatile DJ. Praxis”
De:Bug (GER): “(...)eine gute Compilation für all die, die ruhigen, warmen Clubsound mögen (...)”
Mr C (The End UK): “ (...) B2: Lovely. this is what deep tech house is meant to sound like. On rotation. C1: This is nice, nothing innovative but a quality track that will work the floor. On rotation. C2: Yep, like this. Techy, dark & tripped out. On rotation. D1: Nice tune, very hypnotic & i like the pads & melodies. On rotation. D2: I like this 1 too. great late night stuff. On rotation. D3: Very usable loop... just what the minimal stuff needs. (-; Nice double pack(...)”
Prins Thomas (Internasjonal): “thanks for these...a lot of cool tracks on here, especially feeling pablo bolivar although all the tracks are good. would love a vinyl copy if possible .”
giles smith: “mixed bag here but liking the sultry, melnacholic
depths of the Anthony Collins track. Very nice. also like Simon Bakers track.
Solid”
Drei farben house (force track: “paulo olarte's track
is a justified opener to the album. severe, monotonous detroit techno that works
as a natural peak time track without being a posturer. instead, "sin dormir" has
a natural authority to it which subtly but decidedly drives you to the dancefloor.
Pablo bolivar's "immortality" is pleasantly melodic techno with just the right
mixture of chords and pads whereas martinez' "whoop whoop" is as cool and icy
as you'd expect from him - very smart minimal techno with cool and playful percussions.
surely works fantastically on the floor!”
Each (Bay Street): “Pablo Bolivar at its best!!! make
the deep stuff sound soo greaaat!!!!!well done again dude !! ”
hausmann.c (Fresh Fish Records: “My favorite is Paulo
Olartes track on A1. Old shool - new shool - whatever, this sounds new and catchy
with the energy of early New York houseanthems. Deep experience!”
Jimpster (Freerange): “Really enjoying the stuff this
label is doing just now and this LP should help establish them as a force to
be reckoned with. All quality stuff. ”
Karotte (Cocoon): “ein paar tolle nummern auf diesem album.
am besten find ich simon baker und martinez. aber da ist für jeden was drauf.
gute compi. hätt auch nix anderes von galaktika erwartet. nice.”
Laurent Garnier (F-Com): “full of deep techno tracks lotta
things to play in there”
Martin (Rotary cocktail ): “great compilation with a couple
of tracks which we will play! sure shot on the dancefloor:”
Patrick Bateman (Tic Tac Toe): “What a nice compilation
from the good Spanish guys. My faves are: A2 Anthony, B1 Pablo, B2 Joachim, C2
Martinez, but they are all very good quality. Full support! ”
Satoshi Fumi (Force Tracks): “ love many cool trax.espesially
asshole,inmortalilty,and mind matters. full support:)”
Solomun (diynamic, liebe*detai: “Paulo Olarte on the run.love
it and will play it!,Pablo Bolivar - nice deep track. simon baker - yeah.this
rocks. ”
Xpansul (plus 8): “Sin Dormir: nice deep track, hints
of Detroit and Germanic tech house. Good for deeper crowds. Whop Whop: Interesting
and dark. Not exactly my cup of tea, but I like this more than Martinez's usual
sound. Specially into Saphire. Brilliant track, evocative, deep and touchy”

Movimientos, the debut label compilation by Barcelona's Galaktika RecordsGalaktika Records is a label and record store run by Maurice Aymard, often seenroadtesting the output's latest wares at Barcelona's hippest and coziest joint,the Macarena Bar. Set up in 2005, the label initially focused on minimal techno from up and coming producers in the Catalonian capital such as Inaqui Marin,Swat Squad and Oriol Benedet, but these days they're betting on talent outsideof its home turf such as Brazilian Gui Boratto.
