All tracks produced, remixed mixed and mastered by Ghost.. 

Please visit the new website, spread the link for the remixes around to all your buddies and mates! i'm doing this an an independant artist and word of mouth is very important.. 

Big thanks to Border's Music (NZ) and RDU (NZ) for there support helping me get this project out to the people.

Exclusive preview of forthcoming remix album i'm doing....

hEY people,

here we go, this is a little exclusive preview i knocked up to showcase some of the remixes on my 'Remixes from the Edge' vol 1 compilation i'll be giving away free via digital download from the new website. Bookmark now the address is

www.musicbyghost.com

i expect to open the website at the end of November, and the full 'Remixes from the Edge' compilation will be available the day the website opens for business...

Hope that wets your appetite for some new Ghost musical journey's, i'm working on my 3rd album so this is something to keep you going til then! Big thanks to everyone who supported 'Freedom of Thought', it's nearly sold out it's original press, get one while you can, and i'll have a release in New Zealand early 2010, nice.

my remixes album taster coming soon....

Wow, it's been a busy few weeks as always. I've been chipping away at a bunch of remixes for the last few months and i'm nearly finished. i'll be uploading a little taster of said remix album which i decided to call 'Remixes From The Edge' in the next few days, maybe the w'end if time runs away from me....

i called this little project 'Remixes From The Edge' for 3 reasons...

1/ My next album is gonna be called 'Postcards From The Edge'

2/ People always associate New Zealand with being on the other side of the world, the edge of the world. 

3/ This collection of music is mainly compiled of tracks i've been working on since leaving London last year, and people always send postcards whilst they're away! Mine are musical postcards! 

Being in a new place/space has meant i've had more time to work on music and develop my music, some of which will be showcased in the 'Remixes from the Edge' compilation, the rest you'll have to wait til the new album in 2010...

Bon voyage

Nicole Willis & The Soul Investigators Ghost remix...

Bono Estente, 

Another treat from the Ghost remix archives...i did this remix 2 years ago, came out on the Nicole Willis & The Soul Investigators - Keep Reachin' Up Re-Mixed CD. This album featured remixes from Mr Scruff, Mike Slott, Simbad amongst other's. The original album wass off the hook, the remix album was equally as dope IMO. 

i remixed Soul Investigators Theme, came out a hazy smoked out Hip Hop type joint, i really liked what i did with this and i hope you do too... 

High Quality mp3 for ya at 320 bit, i hate shit mp3's! 

Nicole Willis & The Soul Investigators - Soul Investigators Theme Ghost remix

The Heavy - the other remix i did...

whats the conbobulations, 

today i decided to share this with you, the other 'The Heavy' How You Like Me Now remix. Incase you didnt know The Heavy are a dope band, rock soul type action. The good fella's at Ninja tune holla'd at me and said can you remix this bad boy, so i did 2. The more Hip Hop one is featured on there forthcoming single out on Counter/Ninja 31st Aug..

This one is for you..it's a more dubsteppy club remix, sounds good out! 

download/listen via z share by clicking here

danke, this is a freebie so spread the love

oh and here's some info about The Heavy's new single, the one my remix features on

brand new radio show, taken from last friday..

wassup yo, 

here's another edited installment of the friday drive show on www.rdu.org.nz

This show features tracks from Silkie's album City Limits Vol 1, this is a dope album! New stuff from grime producer Maniac and a whole bunch of other great music. Just so you know i edit the show to cut out the majority of the adverts and banter i do just so you can check the music. 

Last weeks show saw the first of a new segment on Friday drive, someone comes into the studio and makes me cocktails, nice. This will be happening every other week now, obviously i complained that they move it to another show but they werent having it, oh well. i'll record the next one and leave that segment in! 

Go listen/download the show on z share by clicking right here 

spread the link around, it's free for everyone to listen

Bandcamp page now up and running....

So i decided to set up this bandcamp page and see what the dealio was, so please take a moment to head over there and cop some music! i've heard a few people talking about how great it was and it's a pretty good tool for hosting music directly to the public. You can buy WAV's, mp3's in varying formats of quality..

If everything works smooth i hope to have the joint project me, Kashmere and Verb T recorded called Invisible Inc up on there as soon as the artwork is completed. Hopefully we can sell some music and raise enough money to do a physical release ourselves, we'd love to bring that to all our great fans, we've all had a lot of people asking when it will be out, SOON WE HOPE!

Forthcoming remix of The Heavy....

In other news i just finished a remix of The Heavy, they're a great soul, rock type group releasing on Counter, Ninja tune. I did 2 version's, originally a dubsteppy type remix, then a more chilled out version. I think they're using the more Hip Hop style for the release, and who know's where the other one might turn up. 

Why not check a couple of audio clips....

'Pick A Subject'....free music?

Taken from the Braintax LP 'Panorama'.

Braintax feat Verb T - Pick A Subject produced by Ghost

If You Stayed Over.......

Bonobo feat Fink - If You Stayed Over Ghost remix

I really liked what i did with the original, i pitched the track up by quite a few BPM's, added a lot of atmospherics and gave it something extra. Thats what a remix is all about in my book. I'm gutted that this won't come out officially, when you know you've done a good job with something and the issue's surrounding the music rather than the music itself mean it can't get released, it's very frustrating.

Enjoy and spread the love, make sure you support all the artists....

Ghost and Verb T - The Jinx

Ghost and Verb T present 'The Jinx'.

This is yet to make any of our released projects so far for a variety of reasons. We both love this joint, Verbs came with some thought provoking lyrics. This one's a straight up Hip Hop track for all those who like some substance in the vocals.
