Crimson Forest is the first track on the debut Voltergeist EP "Earthen Spirit Loops", and sets the tone squarely in the tripped-out "dark and atmospheric" zone. Influenced by the excellent Hallucinator track "Black Angel", and the moody throbbing am

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 is currently 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. Voltergeist's twisted 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! Headlining the recent Tronic party at Basura Blanca in Glasgow on 8th April, Voltergeist is now ready to take his sounds out live. As Emotiquon, he's played onstage alongside Grand National at The Altitude Festival in Meribel, and played a fair selection of underground house parties and raves (as Listmaker) from 1996. As the ex-frontperson of wacky psychedelic folksters The Pendulums (playing venues and festivals around the central belt of Scotland), he's certainly used to the stage.
