IDOL TRYOUTS. THE GHOSTLY INTERNATIONAL TOUR 2002 Ann Arbor's Ghostly International label, born in 1999, is going on tour this summer for the very first time. Bringing their idm/electro/indie sound to the West, East and North coast, Ghostly promises a stimulating evening of abstract sound, both pop and hip-hop.
The Artists... TADD MULLINIX aka DABRYE (Ghostly, Eastern Developments) (live): He's the surrealist. Shifting through various guises with a refreshing competency and sophistication. His Dabrye LP, "One/Three" brought him critical acclaim in the hip-hop undergound (Jay Dee, Jurassic Five), his James Cotton moniker has won him fans like Matthew Herbert and Laurent Garnier, and the classical structure and melodies of his debut full length ("Winking Makes a Face") turned the chin stroking IDM naysayers on their heads. With a new Dabrye LP For Prefuse 73's Eastern Developments label this summer, as well as an album for Ghostly in August, Tadd looks to be headed for even greater success. MIDWEST PRODUCT (Ghostly) (live): They're the band. Honest, hardworking and humble, the 3 Ann Arbor natives combine their unique talents and generate indie-idm-electro epics with assembly line precision to form Midwest Product: A group that wields live instrumentation to crafty electronics for output that is warm, wholeheartedly sincere and Midwestern. Debut LP "Specifics" due July 23rd on Ghostly International MATTHEW DEAR (Ghostly, Spectral, Plus 8) (live/DJ): He's the pin-up. Fusing minimal beats with a deep Techno education; his DJ sets have earned him a cult following soon to boil over into the mainstream dance community. Count techno ubermensch Richie Hawtin as one of his biggest fans. Forthcoming releases on Plus 8 too. DYKEHOUSE (Planet Mu, Ghostly) (Karaoke DJ/Live): He's the scientist. Exploring every sonic crack and crevice to find the perfect melody. His 2001 debut "Dynamic Obsolescence" for Mike Paradinas' (Mu-Ziq) Planet Mu label was well recieved by the international electronic community. Dykehouse's next LP is slated for Fall on Ghostly International and we are proud to have him as a member of our team. THE DATES. Select artists for each city.
