Ghostly International has now pushed beyond two decades of genre-agnostic operation and ten years since it's first collabora- tion with [adult swim]. A roster-clashing 2009 compilation - featuring the likes of Matthew Dear, Tycho, Dabrye, and School of Seven Bells - Ghostly Swim encapsulated the label's found- ing spirit of playful darkness and irreverence. The follow-up, released in 2015, Ghostly Swim 2 isolated it's focus, inviting quiet introspections from Heathered Pearls, AceMo, Mary Lattimore & Jeff Zeigler and more. To cap it's 20th year in 2019 and suggest a characteristically wayward path forward, Ghostly reconnects for a third round with the Cartoon Network nighttime institution, a bastion of free thought and independent creation. Under the collective mindset that the only way out is through, Ghostly Swim 3 revels in the reliable catharsis that movement can afford. Dynamic, freeform body music as kinetic therapy, as entertain- ment, as a triumph courtesy of up-and-comers and established talents affiliated with techno, electro, breaks, and the uptempo unclassified et cetera. Fans will recognize a range of rising stars outside of Ghostly's roster, outlining several corners of the underground dance com- munity; Black Noi$e (Portage Garage Sounds, Vanity Press), Yak (R&S, Orson), LNS (Wania, 1080p), DJ Python (Incienso, Dek- mantel), lock and jitter across the comp alongside Ghostly and Spectral Sound label mainstays like Ouri, Todd Osborn (here as Superstructure), and Tadd Mullunix under his X-Altera alias. 14 tracks in total, this is a choose-your-own-adventure showcase befitting [adult swim]'s bold programming mission.
