About Our Label
The Foundation
Ghost Label Records was established in the spring of 2005 in Athens, Greece, by Angelos Mavros (Open Source), Dimitris Santas (Dark Elf) & Vaggelis Papathanasiou (SideFX). Its initial aim was to create & promote a series of compilations showcasing the works of those three artists. The 3 artists managed to compile and manufacture a compact disc (Psylent Conspiracy) that we distributed for free among friends and community. Their first project, a compact disc titled "Psylent Conspiracy", was compiled and produced by the artists themselves and distributed freely among friends and the wider community.
How We Grew?
Within a year, the label began gaining momentum & more musical projects. Artists like Alexandros Georgiadis (Anill), Dimitris Prapas (Fat Data), & Chris Kleitsas (Odd Sequence) joined our community & published their music with us. In 2008, John Vakirtzis came on board as a booking agent, focusing on organizing promotional events. While always present since the beginning, Vasilis Lampropoulos officially became active in 2015, taking on roles in talent scouting, bookings & public relations. Over the years, Ghost Label Records has continued to grow, welcoming both emerging talents & established producers, always guided by our commitment to supporting artists in a non-profit, community-driven environment.
What Exactly We Do?
Unlike commercial labels, we operate as a non-profit netlabel. Our purpose is not financial gain but to provide independent musicians with the opportunity to be heard & appreciated worldwide. Any minimal earnings from streams or paid downloads are used to compensate expenses such as cover design, mastering, publication fees, music videos, banners & promotion. On the rare occasion that profit occurs, it is either shared with the artist or used to send gifts (Compact Discs) to our fans & listeners.
Our Collaborations
Since our founding, we have collaborated with many respected companies, such as Jes Music, Eurodisc SA, Arcadia Digital, Arabesque Distribution, Saikosounds.com, Kinesis SA, KJER.com, Dance All Day GmbH, Geomagnetic.tv, Pure Music Manufacturing, Mushroom Magazine, etc. We have built a global network of distribution channels for our recordings. Our music has reached listeners, dancers & ravers across the whole world — not as a product for profit, but as a gift of art to the community.
Our Mission
Our label has been active for over two decades. All these years, we've been supporting & empowering both our artists & the global music scene. Our main goal has always been to release & promote quality music. Moreover, we've also been striving to highlight visual art & foster EDM culture. Two decades after its founding, Ghost Label Records continues to welcome new artists who create music for the mind & the soul. We believe that music transcends borders & unites people beyond cultural or religious boundaries. As a non-profit collective, we devote our work to making independent music accessible, connecting artists with audiences, & keeping the spirit of creativity alive.
