Trying to put the enigmatic producer Ghostlife into words is no easy feat, for a start very few people have ever met him. Many people will, of course, fill your head with tall Ghostlife tales; what hat he favours on a Wednesday, his love of the Dewey Decimal system, his aversion to large peas. Time to call bullshit on all these theories. Best way to describe Ghostlife is Kyser Soze with a keyboard, minus all the criminal bits, an anonymous tactician with an ear for a woozy beat. He may indeed have been the source of the above tall tales, writer of his own fiction if you will. It is perhaps then fitting that he should be pulled towards another artist who spent much of his career sowing the seeds of doubt in regard to his own identity, the much-lamented MF Doom. Respected rapper Doom not only hid his face from the public but was also well known for releasing music under a raft of different monikers adding further mystery to a canon of work that had reached a legendary status before his untimely death in 2020, and after. In this instance it is Doom’s collaborations with Madlib, resulting in the 2004 ground-breaking album Madvillainy, that got Ghostlife’s remix reflex twitching. He decided to further ramp up the subterfuge (this is dream within a dream stuff) and remix some choice cuts from Abstract Orchestra’s interpretation of the record. For those who don’t know, Abstract Orchestra, led by saxophonist Rob Mitchell, are based on the classic jazz big band instrumentation of saxes, trumpets and trombones and features the cream of the north’s jazz scene.
