Ghostly International emphasizes the artist behind the machines and the personalities that drive their avant-garde form of electronic music.

Terrific profile of one of my favorite labels in the nebula. I was born and lived in Ann Arbor till I was 10, so it's a special source of pride to see it represented to well.
Big ups to Sam V for the vision to make this sound and aesthetic real and to our own TK Disko for his first production effort. Doin' it REAL big,-

Its great to hear about a label getting American DJ's to go international with their electronic music..
interesting that Kate Simko is so classically trained! -
This piece captures the essence of what Current is about in my opinion. This is not your typical mainstream bio of some bloated conglomerate's boy-band product. The pod features stellar electronic music by real people striving to carve out a niche for themselves in a difficult market. I salute Current for airing it.
More like this please!-

So rad. Amazing doc! Love what Osborn said about making tracks...how its not about what program you use. True. (Ps. I think you should do a followup piece...on JAMES T. COTTON and other harder artists on Ghostly/Spectral ;)

This is one genre of music that has been built upon an avalanche of fantastic and awe-inspiring concepts. This Pod shines a charming light on it's heritage.
Keep it up.-

Scott Hanson (a.k.a. Tycho, ISO 50) is the fucking greatest artist ever.
Everyone should check out his work, it is amazing.
Here's his portfolio:

i really dug how the music label stressed that electronic music was not a kind of music but rather a way in which people create music. i went to their website and it was great, it's always fun finding new artists!
