Space Ghost twists old influences into something fresh.
Drawing from obscure dance music of bygone eras, he has carved out a distinct touch on groove soaked machine music both as a producer and DJ.
Hailing from a small town in Northern California, Ghost relocated to Oakland over sixteen years ago where he has since established himself as a staple of the Bay Area’s vibrant music scene.
His DJ sets are a refined and captivating thread, moving through everything from 90s downtempo and ambient to r&b, g-funk or street soul, and into deeper house rhythms characterised by Chicago and New York traditions. His eclecticism guided by DIY and underground sounds that sit on the fringes of similar, slicker output of the time.
That same ear has informed his production acumen. Walking the line between ambient and dance, Space Ghost has built a cult following with a style equally groove-driven as it is ethereal and grounding - no matter the genre twist. Much in-demand, he’s released a slew of club joints on respected labels such as Tartelet, Apron, Pacific Rhythm and PPU.
An extension of his curatorial touch, In 2024 Ghost established his own imprint - Peace World Records. The label’s recent sophomore release finds Ghost collaborating with vocalist Teddy Bryant for a full length exploring and revising the wide scope of 90s r&b sounds.
With a sound familiar yet all of his own, Space Ghost has emerged as one of the world’s most compelling figures in dance music. While still a regular fixture in the Bay, his sound has taken him across the world to beloved clubs and parties from NYC to Montreal, Copenhagen to Tokyo, Auckland to Melbourne.
With each release and every set, Space Ghost continues to expand his sonic universe - bridging sounds, and uplifting dance floors every step of the way.
