The Ghost That Walks

http://www.theghostwalk.com The Ghost That Walks fell in love with Hip Hop & Dance/Electronic music around 20 years ago. He wanted to take that to people, to spread the word and the feeling of the music that spoke to him. He finally got enough kit together when he was around 24. He wanted to make music that gave him that feel of magic, and give that back to people. 1994: Got his first deal after purchasing his first major piece of kit, a deal with U-Trax in Holland. He had comments like ?it's the new wave of Vangelis or Joy Division?

The Ghost That Walks fell in love with Hip Hop & Dance/Electronic music around 20 years ago.
He wanted to take that to people, to spread the word and the feeling of the music that spoke to him.

He finally got enough kit together when he was around 24. He wanted to make music that gave him that feel of magic, and give that back to people.

1994: Got his first deal after purchasing his first major piece of kit, a deal with U-Trax in Holland.
He had comments like ?it's the new wave of Vangelis or Joy Division?
At the same time he got a deal with Eevolute Muzique, both recording as Bishop.
He recorded an album for U-trax, but it was never released.

1995: He heard from Utrecht, that Andy Weatherall had heard his record in their shop, loved it so much he had said to them he would like to meet.
2 releases, one shared on his Emissions Audio Output label.

1998: sending tapes to U.S.A, and Detroit.
Mad Mike Banks of Underground Resistance sent a fax.
On it he told The Ghost it was ?going down well at Submerge listenings? and that he should ? continue with your experiments?.

At the same time Lawrence Burden of Direct Beat/430 West heard the same tapes , and offered a deal.
Their camp was split and politics crept in, and the deal wasn't a good one.

To his credit Mad Mike tried to help to sort things out with Direct Beat & Lawrence Burden. Mike even paid The Ghost the compliment of saying ?you're the best of your style from your country?.
So a deal never happened, but Lawrence loved what he did, and said one day of the way he made music ? you make music that way, and that will make you a genius round here.?

2001: Released 12 inch on his own label Ghostwalk, won a few admirers from all over, Russia, Ukraine, Finland, Canada and Adam X from New York.
It was mastered and pressed in Detroit at Archers, where Jeff Mills, Basic Channel, Derrick May, Juan Atkins, UR, just to name a few, all pressed as well.

2005-07: Went to China for nearly 2 years, wasted his time there. But now back in the Uk starting work on more electro and dark music for film.
