Ghost Mutt isn’t big, yet. No one really knows him, and he has just released his very own EP on the label Donky Pitch which was founded in 2009. The first release by the label from Brighton was a Split-EP by Slugabed and the very mentioned Ghost Mutt from 2010. As we all know, Slugabed has found a new home at Ninja Tune last year – which might give us an idea of what a talent-factory Donky Pitch is. Anyway, with the Weat Mode EP, Ghost Mutt hits the spirit of today’s omnipresent America-influenced, 808-impregnated bass-music, which is coined by vocal-samples and which has been flooding the music-market lately. Though he does it rather by HipHop than Booty Bass or Footwork, but it’s due to this inflation that the Sweat EP‘s four songs burn themselves into the listener’s brain as hot iron does on the skin of little lambs. And within all the usual DJ-coolness, humor is Ghost Mutt’s best quality: even the story of Sweat Mode itself is an amusing one, because for this EP, the producer almost exclusively used samples of the sleazy 90s-R’n’B-singer Keith Sweat. Additionally, within the comparatively short running time of 12 minutes, Ghost Mutt covers an exceptional broad spectrum of emotions, as it has hardly been heard from the genre, before. 2012 could become the year of Ghost Mutt.
