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.
