Final 15 - A Ghostly 15 Playlist Curated by Michael Cina

"Anyone that knows me, knows that my main passion is music. I spend all day listening to music at work and my vinyl collection of 16k pieces greets me when I get home. I knew about Ghostly International before they contacted me in the early 2000’s and we would write off and on. They used to send me big packages of white labeled vinyl, it was decadent.

Late 2007 I got a call from Ghostly asking if I was up for designing a new single for Dabrye. It was a dream come true and I feel like I found a friend who really understood me. I have had the distinct privilege to design over 100 covers for Ghostly, and that is only the half of it.

When they asked me to do a compilation, I was all about it. I wanted to do three or more compilations because I wanted to segment it up into different sections (Ghostly, SMM and Spectral). It is impossible to reduce the entire label to 15 tracks. Ghostly is dynamic, they don’t fit one sound, genre or idea.

So I approached it as a mixtape of sorts. I tried to find a common thread that spoke to me and create a mood around that idea. Some of my favorite tracks are not on here. JDSY 'Horizon Line' makes my head spin. Choir of Young Believers 'Paralyse' takes me to another place. There are so many more.

What you are hearing some songs that have spoken to me over the years in a distinct way. I don’t feel like they are obvious choices but they all are nothing short of amazing. I hope this compilation helps you see a different side of one of the best labels to ever do it." - Michael Cina

Lars Danielsson - Liberetto - Party On The Planet

Count four; lungs sync.
Room hums; cones blink.
Low wave crawls in.
I tune; we begin.

Footprints drum wet stone.
Sub writes maps on bone.
Hat lifts steam from skin.
Clap tags bar then grin.

Push that low; lock that floor.
Ride that wave; ask for more.
Bass draws lines; bodies obey.
Four loads breath; doubt gives way.

Wob turns wide; chest answers.
Reese adds hair; floor dances.
Eyes stay closed; neck loosens.
Heat climbs spine; will chooses.

Kick steps out; heart counts two.
Clap says stay; crowd leans through.
Silence coils; lights hold still.
Drop runs hot; bodies spill.

Down—deeper. Down—deeper.
Sink—stay. Sink—stay.
Push that low; lock that floor.
QUAKE keeps on; feed that roar.

We Begin

Here's a track that I worked on back in 2015: I thought I'd put it out to share with you! It features an excerpt from a speech by Alan Watts which really resonated with me and my life at the time. I had a lot of fun nights playing around with this track, and I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for your support!
