I used to be an avid collecter of his tunes when I worked round the corner from Big Apple Records 3-4 years back.

Was well ragga/dub influenced even back then- he must be around under a different name producing dubstep??

Ghost was an old record label with a whole bunch of artists on there; Nude, Roxy, El-B, Es-G to name a few.

I dont think any of them are doin dubstep, although for a while I thought Burial was El-B returning to the game with a fresh angle.

Im still waiting for one of them to catch the new bug

EL-B was the man behind most of the Ghost tunes. Also Nude, Roxy, Blaze, ES-G. What ever happened to those guys???

El-B fell out of love with dubstep - he complained there weren't enough girls in the raves and the music was too dark. He got back into Todd Edwards and started doing the El-Tuff project, before moving into r&b and UK hip hop.

Not forgetting J Da Flex as well.

Ghost tunes still sound fresh

Been wondering too. One of the best radioshows ever in my opinion.

After the 1xtra thing, i believe he hung up the dj hat all together.

he's been djing at co-op - a broken beat night held at plastic people

I recently discovered this:

I'm still backtracking dubstep history. Which of the Ghost releases would you say are essential?

(BTW, you can find Lix Corruptions here aswell)

All of them!!

That one at the top of that page (Dancehall EP) is possibly the most essential though

True say...
Some of my faves are the Dancehall EP, Vol I EP (The club/2000/Bison), Lyrical Tempo and The Spooks.
Also; Watch Dis - Roxy (Shelflife)
El-B vs Nude - Southwest (Shelflife)
Nude - Digitized (Shelflife)
