The Black Ghosts

The Black Ghosts are a UK based electronic duo composed by Theo Keating and Simon Lord , formed in 2006 . Keating and Lord had previously been in the bands ' The Wiseguys ' and ' Simian ' , respectively .
In 2005 after the 4 elements of ' Simian ' split up , it allowed to generate Simian Mobile Disco , a production and remix team formed from the ashes of the previous band . This also lead to the creation of the Black Ghosts , who had Simian's ex-vocal & lead guitar Simon Lord , this just to let you know that they didn't come from nothing , and their background is a clear evidence of their quality in the musical department .
The Black Ghosts style was described as being ' perverse , personal pop-music ' a tendency that has it's roots on both Keating's and Lord's childhood , Keating was encouraged by his mother to watch horror movies at a young age ; Lord's grandmother was considered psychic .

Siriusmo - a name to remember

An old classic

Derrick May, also known as Mayday and Rhythim is Rhythim, produced this track back in 1988 which would be later classified as one of techno's classic anthems.
