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.
