According to legend, Ann Arbor's Ghostly International label was created in 1999 by Sam Valenti IV in his dorm room at the University of Michigan. Starting out with releases by Tadd Mullinix (aka Dabrye, James T. Cotton) and the electro-compilation 'Tangent 2002: Disco Nouveau', Ghostly has since become one of America's premier channels for a wide range of forward-thinking music, from abstract electronics to avant-pop. Home to artists such as Matthew Dear, Deastro, and Lusine, Ghostly celebrates a diversity of styles that run the electronic gamut. Ghostly also has a prominent sister-label focusing on the straighter techno side of things: Spectral Sound. a
