Ten years ago, I was a lowly, heartbroken college freshman, working with my friends Disco D and Matthew Dear on our first single, “Hands Up for Detroit”. Now, after a decade of hard work, finding an amazing team, and a little bit of luck, we’re fortunate enough to celebrate with our artists and friends.
And the Ghostly 10-year hit parade continues. After we bring the venerable Telefon Tel Aviv to this week’s Detroit date, we’ll be hitting Toronto with Ghostly favorites Tycho, Lusine (who has a bomb new single coming], and Michna along with our very good friend and collaborator, Milosh.
Toronto will be a special date: the Drake Hotel is one of Tycho’s favorite venues (Scott said it was one of his best shows yet.) We always have a great time whenever the team plays there. Tickets are on sale now and discounted here.
Here are a few tracks from each of the Toronto show’s artists – including a Tycho debut.

Lusine has a new album on the way, and (perhaps non-objectively) I’d venture to say it’s his best.
Here’s the first single, featuring the lovely voice of Vilja Larjosto.

Here’s a song from Adrian Michna’s old group, Secret Frequency Crew, who were on the classic Schematic label. Forest Of The Echo Downs really caught my attention and made our best-of-the-year list back in ’04. It was a good preview of what was to come (busted jazz, stabbing horns, skittering Miami machinedrums) with Michna.

Mike Milosh occupies a very distinct space in electronic music with his subtle programming and weak-in-the-knees vocals. He just released a new EP with Paul Phisterer which will make you want to plant a tree it’s so pretty.

There’s this guy Tycho who’s pretty good too. He’s got a new single coming out this summer with some great remixes. Here’s an exclusive debut of Manual‘s remix of the forthcoming “Coastal Brake.”
Congratulations on 10 great years guys! Thanks!
Love the Coastal Brake remix
It’s always an absolute joy to hear something new from Tycho, keep up the good work!
wow, the coastal brake remix is really, really nice.
Beautiful remix of Coastal Brake. Looking forward to the release.
Manual and Tycho…what a country!
I remember the early days of going to the Blind Pig in Ann Arbor to catch Dabrye and Midwest Product shows. I knew then what you guys were doing was fantastic, and it’s great to see Ghostly is still going strong!
love the remix – can’t wait to hear the new release this summer.

Such good music. Been looking forward to new Tycho and Milosh, can never get enough! Wish I could make it to the show!
I love the new Tycho remix, and btw, what’s the deal with Raw Paw and Michna, aren’t they the same person???
Michna is the producer and solo artist, raw paw is his touring band
Instantly loving the Tycho remix. Looking forward to the album also. Liked all the tunes on this post actually. Good job Ghostly.
So sad I have not seen you yet live!! Jealous of this show 🙁 Congrats and keep rockin it 😀
Hey Scott,
Glad you’re back in TO! Those sound great can’t wait to hear them live! See you and the rest of the crew at the show.
Cheers,
Sean

i wake up I listen, I’m working and i listen when i can, i go home i listen as much as i can, this new song is like a prison to me, cant get out
Thanks for the well wishing everyone. Really having fun posting with the ISO crew. Grab me at the Detroit/Toronto shows and say hi to Jakub and I. – I look like this guy but nicer: http://ghostly.com/news/2009/5/478
Love the Tycho remix and the Lusine track.
Wish I could be at the show. Tycho makes some of the most serene music out there. Looking forward to the new album.
Two dots sounds like a more electronic version of School of Seven Bells. Great production. Even though the instrumentation is more sparse than School of Seven Bells, the sound is still rich and full.
Impressive musical lineup. All of the songs were great, of corse I’m partial to the Tycho one. I can’t wait until I can purchase these gems!
where can i find the coastal brake remix ? for purchasing
The Coastal Brake single is currently in production for a release later this year. Scott’s latest update: https://blog.iso50.com/2009/08/27/studio-update-august-2009/
