GHOSTHOUSE
Regardless of your taste in dance music, Ghosthouse knows your sign. The electro-funk trio provides a party anthem for the new scene. While embracing DJ culture, Ghosthouse prevails with live instrumentation and a dynamic stage show, which balances analog ideals and digital reality.
Deep V is a record guaranteed to have you dancing in the club or romancing in the tub. On April 30, 2013, Hot Dog Records brings you Ghosthouse’s funkiest, most diverse, and polished EP yet, featuring local heroes and international up-and-comers. Its disregard for genre fuses funk-soaked synths to fresh pop arrangements and searing guitar solos. Ghosthouse is synthesized but never synthetic.
Chuck New’s reckless vocal range bears the influences of classic mid-west R&B and British new wave. Jimmy Con’s swagger and presence on stage—and his ingenuity and vision in the studio-produced new heights for Ghosthouse this time around. Their evolution accelerated with the addition of drummer Dylan Hyde Castle, who acts as beat conductor and industry liaison.
Ghosthouse doesn’t apologize for the versatile array of singles on offer. Deep V is a taste of things to come, offered in anticipation of a future full-length release. Building on more than seven years of collaboration, the trio has moved massive festival crowds at North Coast and Wavefront and sold-out venues like Lincoln Hall, Bottom Lounge, and the Metro, consistently earning them recognition as one of Chicago’s best bands.
