If you miss this '80's or missed the '80's and wish you hadn't than Ghosthouse may be the group for you. A little bit Prince, and a little Ray Parker Jr., Ghosthouse is back with their new single "Stop Drop & Roll". Any time you see a track on bandcamp tagged "1984" you new you are in for heavy synths, drum machines, hand claps, and some pure elctrofunk! The single and all six remixes can be downloaded for free. <a href=" http://ghosthousechicago.bandc amp.com/album/stop-drop-roll"> Stop Drop & Roll by Ghosthouse</a>
Madcap Chicago Electro Boogie trio Ghosthouse have been an act we've been keeping an eye on for some time now. They are so much fun, like Chromeo and The Time and Prince in a blender. they've just dropped a new single, 'Stop Drop & Roll' with a full reMix packager, for absolutely free! 'Stop Drop & Roll' is a precursor to their forthcoming EP, but that doesn't mean it fills out this single package in it's own right. It's funky as fuck and catchy as hell, complete with sing-a-long chorus and big synth stabs. Ghosthouse have [...]
Another great remix from Miami Nights 1984! He's definitely one of our favourites. This time he takes his approach on "Stop Drop & Roll" from ElectroFunk trio from Chicago Ghosthouse. You can download this track for free HERE as well the entire Ep "Stop Drop & Roll", which comes with a pack of remixes from [...]
El trio de Ghosthouse (Chuck New, Jimmy Con y Dylan Hyde Castle) debutaban a finales del año pasado con su álbum 'Ghosthouse' (un álbum Free Download), 8 temas y 2 remezclas, y su sonido de elctro-funk que recuerda a Chromeo, y ahora vuelven con un nuevo tema, el potente 'Stop Drop & Roll' donde continúan con sus ritmos bailables y la línea de su anterior álbum y producido por ellos mismos, y con distribución gratuita via Bandcamp, y para tal ocasión han contado con 6 remezclas del tema, el productor de [...]
Yes! In time for NYE! This is my favorite year-end list to make because its obviously the most fun. And I give it the least amount of stress. Read on for all my favorite party/dance jams split into three increasingly heated sections. Almost all these tracks could fit into the last one but I had to split them up somehow! There is not much organization here, just grooves for miles. So polish those dancing shoes and get limber because I wanna see you bounce! Note that the list ends with a very appropriate title (and song) for New Years [...]
Here's my favourite local discovery in a while. Vancouver's Chris vanderLaan undertook a project in 2011 to write 100 songs, which resulted in him starting a slew of new bands in a variety of genres. This includes his pop punk project Wars , a band that features members of Living with Lions and Ghost House . The band's album is called, uh, Pacey from Mighty Ducks , making it probably the only LP ever named after actor Joshua Jackson (who played Pacey Witter in Dawson's Creek and Charlie Conway in [...]
![[MP3] Ghosthouse – "9.2.5″](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3872680_lg.jpg)
look at your killer body knockin' me out ♫ Ghosthouse - 9.2.5 Ghosthouse is a funny name for this Chicago sex-funk duo because I can't imagine any ghosts at a party these guys would throw. And fitting in just one house? I'm skeptical... Anyway, if you like Chromeo then you will like "9.2.5." Big clapping synths, shoulder slinking beats, and lyrics that lay out a plan for getting down to business. It's the perfect music for leading into the weekend. FIrst thing tomorrow I'm checking out what other gems they have cooking [...]
Last week we posted Sam Padrul's amazing remix of Ghosthouse's newest track 9.2.5 . Catchy lyrics and 80s influenced funk lured us into checking out the original, and from there we got exploring. It was our first time hearing of the Chicago-based duo Jimmy Con and Chuck New, and once we got through their entire Soundcloud account, we had to know more. Interestingly, the guys started with an electronic club sound, having one of their pop tracks featured on MTV's Jersey Shore (Season 4, Episode [...]
When it was time to do a video for its mostly instrumental song "Bad Advice" electro-pop duo Eight Bit Tiger decided to compile a video montage of life's hilarious mistakes. What do I mean? Dance routines that end with someone getting hurt. Parkour tricks that go horribly awry. Are there people getting punched in sensitive areas? Of course! It's all set to an insanely catchy dance tune with tons of funky bass and sparkling synths. Just make sure you've swallowed your orange juice before watching this clip. Eight Bit Tiger will celebrate its new [...]

Holy 802s! I suppose the 802s throwback is a permanent part of the musical landscape even though we've entered fully into 902s relapse already (I'm just waiting for a quality C & C Music Factory reproduction!)… I'm definitely not complaining. Coming out of Chicago, Ghosthouse seem to take pride in being Chromeo's star students. Songs like Private Dancer and 9.2.5 could very easily be mistaken as Chromeo tunes…except with Robert Palmer singing. However the duo breaks out of the electro pop form and show a funkier side with tunes like Analog Man and Crazy in Love... D Train [...]
Sam Padrul mentioned in the description for his remix about how the original is an awesome track. This couldn't be more true, but what also must be said is how fantastic the remix is. New to my radar, Chicago's Ghosthouse can definitely be compared to Chromeo. Lotta synths, catchy lyrics and that addictive 80s influenced funk, but with unique style and finesse. And all that is summed up in their track Nine To Five . Sam brings a softer, sensual touch to the track, showcasing bubbly bass riffs and guitar picks [...]
Ghosthouse are a Chicago duo who make ElectroPop tracks with a massive dose of Funk. their latest track '9.2.5' has been given the reMix treatment by Sam Padrul . I was going to try to write this without mentioning Chromeo, but it was too much like hard work, because Ghosthouse are defiantly traveling the same road, with some added Prince-like qualities and pulsing electronics to make their sound their own. Sam Padrul takes the track and gives it a laid back beach Nu-Disco workout full of bouncing synths and a slick little guitar lick the roll [...]
Pining for the days of summer still? So, it seems are the boys of Rocky Business , who for their latest video for the summery and shimmering "Ghost House" have joined up with Toronto indie pop trio Azores , writing a love song for a girl and a feeling altogether, and it's a feeling we certainly share, as sunny days turn to stormy ones and the lack of sun from early evening until daybreak is all but putting us all down. Godspeed!
![[Introducing] – Leaving](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3428715_lg.jpg)
Tweet Leaving don't write conventional songs. The four tracks on their EP "Ghost House" don't so much progress as drift. Each song features a textured wall of guitar distortion and reverb, softened by mournful strings and supported by only the slightest of structures. This is rootless music, fitting for its subject matter: the EP is about a ghost that lives in lead singer Jesse Kees's house. "Paranormal, Supernatural", with its hazy instrumentation and distant [...]
This week in Robotic Beat Crate #6 we have some goodies for you. The Boys Noize remix of N.E.R.D. which has been seeing a lot of play time in his sets, funky bass line for sure. We also have the Oliver Twizt remix of the Afrojack banger Polkadots and check out the new track from local homie Josh Boyd of Hotbodies with the Tigwer remix of their track "Lollipop". MP3: N.E.R.D - Hot N' Fun Feat. Nelly Furtado (Boys Noize Remix) MP3: Gucci [...]
We love a bit of Boy 8-Bit here at the Labs and any new material is greeted with open arms. New EP - Still Killing arrived last week on Mad Decent and alongside a host of remixes of previous material from the likes of Memory Tapes and Obi Blanche , tucked away at the end of the EP was this gem. Taking in trademark Boy 8-Bit old skool funk breaks, synthy stabs and a big ol' shoulder shakin bassline, it's a corker. Available now at Beatport . [...]
This is the last post I'll be doing now for a couple of weeks while I get my final MSc project handed in. I've been really busy as of late so I've accrued quite the collection of decent tunes. So without further ado... A mate sent me the link to this song last week. REALLY great remix. Blitz!Blitz!Blitz!Blitz!Blitz! Blitz!Blitz!Blitz! [...]
