well it s time to let someone else have a go, label boss nail concedes, and so for the 8th release on 89:ghost, and it s first for 2017, we are very proud to welcome logic systems of vancouver bc to the roster. in the artist s own words, the logic systems ep is a selection of lush, expanding hypno-excursions from the west coast of canada. 4 self sustained energy patterns designed for movement, body/mind awareness or inner reflection. is that a studer in your pocket, or are you just enjoying the show? presented on total darkness black coloured vinyl.

two years on from his critically acclaimed self-titled debut lp and 2016’s similarly transcendent club hit safe/multiply, ghost culture is pleased to announce his new ep nucleus. due for release on phantasy, nucleus, captures the enigmatic london artist’s signature sound in the reflection of unexpected, vibrant new lights. leading with the understated groove of ‘coma’, ghost culture quickly reaffirms his unwavering ability to hold the collective energy of a dancefloor, yet colours his latest work with a sense of intimacy and experimentation that resonates stronger than ever. ‘ico130’ explores almost every facet of ghost culture’s electronic form, as gasping synths and stuttering drum patterns flirt with an aching, unfurling emotional vocal sample, acknowledging both classic idm influences such as aphex twin and authechre, while subtly nodding towards contemporary, crystalline rnb. the ep’s centrepiece, ‘ngc1275’ adds flavour to a stirring, reflective acid line, amid a complex flurry of minor deconstructions and distortions, highlighting ghost culture’s unique, contrarian ability to inspire both beckoning darkness and escapist fantasy through his work. while the opening half of the five track ep is more primed for the night, nucleus’ leads to an introspective denouement. ‘perseus’ pits raw electronics against a framework of loose, lucid drums, before ‘ngc1265’ delivers a wistful, brooding conclusion that makes an emotive case that impacts powerfully across just a short sketch.

awake represented a high-water mark for scott hansen, the san francisco musician better known as tycho. described by hansen as, “in many ways, the first true tycho record,” awake announced the arrival of tycho as a full band, and it found hansen streamlining the group’s sound, focusing on the drums and aiming to capture the energy and power of the group’s live set. the story of awake arrives at its natural conclusion with this 12” of remixes, on which hansen’s songs are re-interpreted by producers who make the songs their own while retaining all of their core elements.

on silicon tare, the sci-fi story that seth haley, who records as com truise, began on the galactic melt lp and continued on the wave 1 ep takes a dark turn. at the conclusion of wave 1, the protagonist, earth’s first synthetic astronaut, successfully makes contact with the far-off wave 1 colony but, once he does, things get fuzzy. he falls in love, there is a war coming. a story that began in hope and dreams of discovery ends on an uncertain note. change is in the air.

as half of teengirl fantasy, logan takahashi is best known for making glassy, expansive tracks. on his debut solo album nogeo, however, he creates an intimate world of fertile, furtive rhythms. throughout the album, techno-tinged patterns unfurl with zeal and digital melodies slowly rise and fall. if the music of teengirl evokes widescreen, technicolor club scenes, nogeo is a zoomed-in study of timbre, rhythm, and melody.

ghosts/spirits is the result of many exorcism sessions, most of them performed unknowingly. the tracks are numbered based on their order of collection. ghosts are generally subtle and linger around more than spirits, which are said to go straight to your mind’s heart. whether you long for a naked dance in the forest, or a subaquatic journey through mermaids and sunken ships, you are welcome to indulge in our musical exorcism, in the name of the tribal forces which brought us rhythm, and the spiritual forces which brought us together. ah,… man

“champion music for the heartbroken.” that’s how bryndon cook, who records as starchild, describes crucial, his first ep for ghostly. it’s easy to hear what he means: over the course of the record’s 30 minutes, starchild creates songs that draw equally on electro and r&b, with silky sheets of synth cascading over rubbery bass lines. and at the center of every one of them is an undeniable twinge of sadness.

from field recording to analog machines, sound design and acoustic instruments. - reflecting on the sounds of our lives and their perception by our mind, - four - ghosts - were born. - the spontaneous realisation of an emotional connexion with a sound (the birth) and the feeling it can create in our mind, body and soul. (the story) first, the ghost is born, acknowledged and captured: rain falling, airplane passing by, metal grinding, underwater impacts, birds in empty spaces or other sources of raw sounds combined to form a spectrum of emotions, a personality. then, the ghost is understood, carefully tamed, manipulated and controlled to become part of the host s identity by the pure continuity of the cerebral activity through the nervous system and the being itself. eventually the consciousness / awareness of the moment is integrated and the ghost becomes the experience.

lucky, the third single from ghost culture, is a distinct slice of haunting vocal performance and psychedelic electronica. co-produced by erol alkan, it is also perhaps the strongest showcase yet of ghost cultures burgeoning prowess as not only a natural studio experimentalist but also as a confident and compelling songwriter, creating music that’s both instantly memorable and yet always intriguing. complimenting the original recording of lucky is a remix from the pioneering matthew dear in his audion guise, whose celebrated talent for bridging esoteric elements of techno, pop and dub lends itself perfectly to exploring the detailed and subtle layers of ghost cultures unique vision. the remix drops on vinyl and via digital stores in mid september, just head of greenwoods hotly anticipated next london headline show at corsica studios on the 23rd. dont miss it.
