Ann Arbor, Michigan’s Ghostly International was founded in 1999 by Sam Valenti IV and is regarded as one of North America’s premier channels for Avant-Pop and electronic related musics, spawning a sister label, Spectral Sound, which is wholly devoted to dancefloor sounds. Ghostly emphasizes a holistic approach to releasing electronic informed music, focusing on the humanism behind the machines, the personalities that drive this music.
