![Ghostpoet – Meltdown (Squarepusher vs Ghostpoet Version) [Free Download]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/5014975_lg.jpg)
When Warped Records' Squarepusher is tasked with a remix, the result is, well, warped. At least such is the case with "Meltdown," where the UK icon twisted Ghostpoet's mildy depressive, intentionally off-beat tune into a slightly less depressing but vastly more technical work. Rebuilt from bare percussion into a layer cake of blossoming synths and vintage keyboard, the track is best served free: Grab your download here .
We has this a couple of months ago. But I'm reposting because it was released yesterday and it's now available for free download. Get it while it's hot. Last time , I said " Never went a bundle over Ghost Poet’s stuff when his Peanut Butter Blues and Melancholy Jam album came out a couple of years back. But this new collaboration with Squarepusher is rather fine. It’s all very reminiscent of Roots Manuva’s electronic explorations. This goes crash and bloop and meanwhile Ghost Poet remembers a relationship gone wrong ." Blurb: Obaro Ejimiwe, AKA [...]
2011 Mercury Prize-nominated artist Ghostpoet is releasing his EP 'Meltdown' this week finally in the States. To celebrate the release, he's offering this free download of the Squarepusher remix of the title track. Listen to and download the remix from the Soundcloud widget below.
Voor internetbegrippen is iets van een maand oud al bejaard en rijp voor de sloop, maar er zijn goede redenen om het volgende alsnog te vermelden: de mix die de Britse intellectueel / producer / beroepsmompelaar / bodybuilder (die jongen is gespierd!) Ghostpoet in mei voor Fader maakte. Dit is het type mix waar liefhebbers van alles-door-elkaar-zolang-het-m aar-tof-is-muziek (in de school van Gilles Peterson en Laurent Garnier) erg blij van worden (Oneohtrix Point Never! Dorian Concept! Talking Heads! Tony Allen! En alles!). [...]
By Kenny McMurtrie & Dominic Allen June 13, 2013 With barely time to grab a kebab evening arrived in Wakefield and another slew of acts ventured on to the various stages (of which, it has to be pointed out we only ever visited five of the seven - Velvet & The Orangery unfortunately being off our radar as that bit slightly further to walk). First off we caught This Is The Kit . Sporting a very nice line in [...]

Really love this song, "Meltdown" by Ghostpoet , taken from the album, Some Say I So I Say Light .
Now in its third year, Forbidden Fruit has had to reinvent itself to keep up with the fluctuating Irish festival landscape, not on the scale of Oxegen, mind you, but enough to leave Kasabian and Primal Scream sitting uneasily atop the bill. The niche, the mainstream, the buzz-worthy and the heritage mingle in the rather beautiful confines of the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Kilmainham and State was on-hand to see how it all turned out. Here's what we thought: Austra - Undergrowth Stage, Sunday Maybe it's Frobidden Fruits's more-hipster-than-most clientele, but there [...]
The VPME Summercamp, a festival of music, art, food & more comes to Liverpool’s Baltic Triangle August bank holiday weekend 2013, as part of the Liverpool International Music Festival. MUSIC – Mount Kimbie, Martha Wainwright, Ghostpoet, Merchandise, The Staves & more FOOD – Co-curated by Simon Rimmer (C4 Sunday Brunch) and Steven Burgess (Camp and Furnace), [...]
"The expanded line up of synths, drums and female backing vocals free his tracks from the limits of bedroom production and create a more refined sense of dread..." Ghostpoet | Gorilla, Manchester 28.05.13 For most performers, tiredness is something to be avoided at all costs; purged by excessive amounts of caffeine and onstage adrenaline. With Ghostpoet, fatigue is all part of the experience. ‘I don’t want to be hit by any beer cans,’ he tells us a few songs in, ‘I’m too tired to dodge tonight’ . It may be a strange admission [...]
The odd smaller event aside, this weekend marks the start of the Irish outdoor festival season with the return of Forbidden Fruit at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham. The crowded market that it finds itself operating in has had clear effects - back to a two day affair and with the previously announced sister event in the west having quietly disappeared - but given the nature of gig going in Ireland all we need is a few days of nice weather and anticipation will no doubt rise. As our preview hopefully shows, it wouldn't be a misplaced emotion. [...]
By Tom Fake May 22, 2013 The Hot Five – My views on five tracks that have attracted my interest in any given week, usually with an older track thrown in the mix for something a bit different. Tracks usually concentrate on pop/rock releases, but really focusing on anything and everything that comes my way. Track of the week : Everything Everything – ‘Duet’ Once again this track was released a few months back, but in honesty it’s taken me a while to get into Everything [...]
Melbourne based, 23 year old Oscar Key Sung singer / songwriter / producer has just released two new tracks that are available to stream and download. His sounds are both mesmerizing and dreamy. He captures that future r'n'b sound perfectly, but also spinning something of his own sound. Oscar has been very busy since becoming part of Two Bright Lakes as one half of Oscar + Martin in 2010. In early 2013 Oscar's beat was picked by MELOGHOST (Ghostpoet x MeLo-X) "WecanWorkitout" and his vocals featured on Andras Fox new LP [...]
Those who need to lift their spirits should turn to Ghostpoet, one of the most intriguing and unique musicians to surface over the last couple of years. While actively playing the part as producer, lyricist and vocalist, the Londoner is dissolving the dividing lines between genres. Ghostpoet (Obaro Ejimiwe) launched his second album Some Say I So I Say Light on May 6th off the Play It Again Sam label, from which ‘Meltdown’ was the first single to drop. British female vocalist Woodpecker Wooliams sang the hook and chorus lines [...]
Since our last pairing , a number of fantastic releases have hit the shelves. A highly anticipated Daft Punk album, a stunning Vampire Weekend full-length, and perhaps the finest 2013 free release thus far in Chance The Rapper's Acid Rap, are just some of the releases we considered. And we such a refreshing month of music upon us, we took it upon ourselves to pair said albums with equally tasty brews. And, just like last week, feel free to add any of your own pairings in the comments section below. Navigate through the pages [...]
Ghostpoet, the quick wit whose 2011 debut got him nominated for a Mercury Prize, released his sophomore effort Some Say I So I Say Light last week on PIAS. Just as compelling as his first ... read more
Ghostpoet and And So I Watch You from Afar will headline this year's Castlepalooza , taking place between 2nd and 4th August at Charleville Castle, Tullamore, Co. Offally.

Castlepalooza is the last music festival to reveal its lineup I think. It's held in Charleville Castle, Tullamore, Co Offaly, on the August bank holiday weekend, August 2-4. That's the same weekend as Oxegen and Cork's Indiependence so it'll be a battle between the three for punters. This is the [Read more]
By Kenny McMurtrie May 13, 2013 Long Division takes place in Wakefield , and is put on by the Rhubarb Bomb blog. For the 2013 incarnation of the festival (in conjunction with Jonny The Firth and Wolfyboy Records of Leeds) 7 venues in the city will host 70 acts over the course of 07 – 09 June. Those acts already confirmed at time of writing include The Fall, Nine Black Alps, Ghostpoet, Jeffrey Lewis, The History Of Apple Pie, Howard Marks, RM Hubbert [...]
Two years ago, Obaro Ejimiwe's debut album caused a bit of a stir. Introverted and proudly mundane, Peanut Butter Blues & Melancholy Jam earned the man better known as Ghostpoet a Mercury nomination for his head-turning blend of isolated electronica and observational lyricism. At a time when black music in Britain had come to be defined by the likes Tinchy Stryder and, less embarrassingly, Tinie Tempah, Ghostpoet stood out an artist with more than chart success and breaking America on his mind. This follow-up, the tongue-twisting Some Say I So I Say Light [...]
