Kinski Gallo, the innovative LA-based artist known for his magnetic presence and genre-bending sound, is set to release Under The Empress Moon, the first EP in his ambitious four-part Wild Cards series, on November 1st. Sung in both English and Spanish, Gallo’s EP is a vivid blend of synth pop, progressive house, EDM, and Latin dance, featuring four tracks brimming with eclectic melodies and vibrant rhythms that invite listeners to immerse themselves in a rich, layered soundscape.
Taking inspiration from the tarot’s Empress and Moon cards, Under The Empress Moon channels creativity, intuition, and mystery, encouraging listeners to embrace self-expression, dive into emotions, and journey through life’s hidden depths. This release introduces Gallo’s signature genre, “Paisatronica” — an “electronica of the common man” inspired by his father’s Mariachi roots and Latin rhythms, merging tradition with contemporary electronic sounds to honor the resilience of everyday people.
The Wild Card theme drives Gallo to take creative risks, balancing classic Latin influences with modern electronic production. Raw guitar and piano compositions evolve into intricate digital and analog tracks, creating an immersive experience inspired by Gallo’s dreams and imagination. Embracing healing through movement and dance, he reconnects with his artistic vision and purpose, weaving poetic lyrics and uplifting rhythms that reflect his journey as an artist and father.
As the former frontman of Monte Negro (Sony/Epic), Gallo established his reputation by blending rock and Latin rhythms. His background in philosophy and multifaceted artistry — from sculpture to furniture design — reveals his commitment to bridging creativity and intellect. Gallo’s meticulous production process includes mapping out each beat, inviting live session musicians, and refining final tracks with producers.
Under The Empress Moon is a joyful, danceable celebration of creative liberation and the first taste of Gallo’s Wild Cards series, setting the stage for his continued evolution in music.
