Voltergeist: Psyche-dub electrical pirate wobble.

Voltergeist is producer Shaun Dowse, who uses a MacBook Pro with an array of synthesizers and strange electronic gadgets, live bass guitar and hand percussion (and occasionally saucepans) to produce twisted dub-techno music and remixes for established artists. He previously recorded under the "Emotiquon" guise.

As Voltergeist, he's produced dub-techno versions of tracks by African folk musician Jali Bakary Konteh, and kuduro band Figura (on Akwaaba Music), UK indie band Grand National (on Rob Da Bank's label Sunday Best), and Icelandic electronic-pop champions GusGus. There are also several popular "white label" Voltergeist remixes of Audion, Booka Shade, Laurent Garnier, Major Lazer etc which can be downloaded freely. Emotiquon releases include remixes for Heaven 17, Enter Shikari, Dot Allison, Shitdisco and Vendor Defender.

Shaun has recently been working with ex-Ministry bass player Paul Barker, producing an original track to promote "FIX: The Ministry Movie"; a backstage documentary which is currently being screened at various film festivals in the US. The track "69 Psalmpled" will be included on the accompanying soundtrack album alongside new work by NIN, Korn, Skinny Puppy, Tool, and Soundgarden.

*RECENTLY ANNOUNCED as the WINNER of the DJ Krust "Warhead" remix contest, and Australian label Scattermusic winner of The Heatwave "Wardance" remix contest.

Voltergeist's twisted dubby music has been supported by highly influential DJs and tastemakers including Dubfire, X-Press 2, Harri (SubClub Glasgow), Nick Warren (Way Out West), Dom Chung (Chibuku), Carlos Agueda, Silicone Soul, Jet Project and Meat Katie!

His new album, "Burnt & Buried" was released in August 2011.
