Ghostly International is an American independent record label that was started in Ann Arbor, Michigan by Samuel Valenti IV in 1999. Chief artists include Matthew Dear, Dabrye (aka Tadd Mullinix), Mobius Band, and Skeletons & The Girl-Faced Boys. After Valenti and Dear met at a party, their shared affection for electronic music, particularly the sound of Detroit Techno, led to the label’s (and Dear’s) first 12 inch single "Hands Up For Detroit." Following this, Ghostly enjoyed early success with albums by Mullinix as well as Disco Nouveau, a compilation including artists such as ADULT., Solvent, Legowelt, Daniel Wang and DMX Krew inspired by the Italo Disco movement of the 1970s and 1980s.
