DJ Ghost

North East based Goth DJ

About Me

I am a north-east based Goth DJ and music journalist. PLEASE NOTE, that whilst I don't mean to be rude, if you are a hip-hop/ rap/ R 'n' B/ Dance/ whatever record label/ artist, looking for DJs to play your tunes, please do NOT friend me, as I'm not interested in these genres at all. I have one or two DJs of that ilk on my FL as they are nice guys, but these are not genres of music that I play.Oh and whilst I'm at it, if you are a band that include "Megadeath", "Children of Bodom" or "Venom" in your influences, you are wasting your time asking me to friend you. One look at the reviews I write in TWF should tell you how I feel about that "gargling the lyrics in my throat 'cos I can't sing" genre.

I have been a resident DJ at;-

The Charnel House (Newcastle),

Graveyard (Newcastle),

Contamination Radiation (Newcastle),

Floorshow (Newcastle),

CH2 at the Cage. (Newcastle),

Manic Monday (Whitby),

I have DJed one off events such as;-

Killing Miranda vs Fight the Robots (Televised by the BBC as part of a documentary on Goth). (Newcastle)

Tainted Love (Newcastle)

A plethora of private parties, weddings, birthdays, engagements, and Halloween parties.

I have also been the guest DJ at.

Insanatorium (Colchester)

The First Whitby Dracula Society ball (Whitby)

The second Whitby Dracula society ball (Whitby)

The Midian Xtra (Liverpool)

All About New years Eve 2007/2008

Inferno. (London)

The Devils toybox. (Stoke-on-Trent)

In addition to being a DJ I write some of the music reviews and an occasional column for “TWF” magazine which is the brain child of Kev 36663, who also runs Floorshow.

I am famous for having introduced several bands music to the north east Goth scene, including Killing Miranda,The Beauty of Gemina, Charlotte Grey, Jokarelli, The Malfated, The Scary Bitches and Alice 2, all of whom have become firm dance floor hits in the region as a result. Marie, my partner, also introduced Crud to the Newcastle Goth scene, and we hope to be playing them more often at various places.

I am available for private bookings and guest slots (subject to availability and sensible offers), message me for details.
