*GHOSTLY UPCOMING RELEASES*
We are very pleased to announce that Ghostly 2003-D is in full effect, and are
very proud to present:
-V/A - Idol Tryouts CD & 2xLP (GI-13) MAY 20
Idol Tryouts represents the avant-pop of a new generation of Midwestern
producers, straddling the edge of abstract electronics, shimmering indie rock,
Detroit techno and cutting-edge hip-hop. It is the point where the
avant-garde and the popular meet, tearing away from the hierarchy of genres
and the strain of electronic puritanism in order to create new and engaging
sounds.
Features new music from Dabrye, Dykehouse, Kill Memory Crash, Matthew Dear,
Midwest Product and more. Remixes by Prefuse 73, Telefon Tel Aviv and Twine.
-V/A - State of the Union 12 (SPC-5) MAY 20
Spectral Sound, dancefloor imprint of Ghostly, is five releases old. Spectral
5 is a synopsis of the past and an ominous spectre of things to come.
Exclusive new tracks from James Cotton, Osborne, Matthew Dear and Flexitone.
-Matthew Dear - EP1 and EP2 (SPC-6. SPC-7) JULY 1
EP1 focuses on Dear's evolving flair for dancefloor compositions, molding his
spare techno into a free-form collection of housey gems. Tracks like Laguna
Madre, threaten disco with filters and quirky bass, while still maintaining a
flair for the obscure.
EP2 then finds Matthew taking his sound into a dimly-lit back alley and
beating the stuffing out of it. Matthew returns from the dark wielding 5 more
dark strains of dancefloor havoc. This is deep, pulp techno; messy, steamed
minimalism.
-Kill Memory Crash - When the Blood Turns Black CD/LP (GI-15) JULY 15
When the Blood Turns Black is a bold first look at a group who blend a complex
production style with a searing early electronic attitude. The result is a
relentless debut of IDM-infused Industrial and twisted machine-funk. Kill
Memory Crash has a sound that calls upon their heroes (Ministry, Coil, etc.),
but that is made completely their own in the process. Bone-hard and
Electrified, this is the sound of the machines gone bad.
-Lusine - Push EP 12" (GI-17) JULY 15
Fate brought Lusine and Ghostly International together and we are immensely
proud to offer this fantastic and diverse EP. The record is a perfect
description of the Ghostly label ethos, a blend of warm IDM, minimal Techno
and Electro, equally at home at the club and on headphones. This release will
further strengthen Lusine's recognition as not only one of the country's
finest electronic producers, but one of the world's foremost creators of
engaging experimental music altogether.
-Osborne - Daylight 12" (SPC-8) JULY 15
Osborn, aka Todd Osborn of "Bout Ready to Jak" fame, returns with a summery
house-techno classic. Like Matthew Dear, Todd was recently featured in URB
Magazine's "Next 100" for 2003. His new single, with its haunting Rhodes lead
and piano breakdown, is augmented by a remix by Germany's Isolee, known best
for his work on labels such as Playhouse (DE) and Classic (UK). A perfect
blend of seasonal warmth and electronic grit.
More info on these releases, including MP3s will be posted on 5.20.03.
