Spooky

Spooky is a British house/techno duo consisting of Duncan Forbes and Charlie May. They debuted with "Gargantuan" in 1993 after signing to Guerilla Records. In 1995 and 1996 they released three EPs ("Clank", "Stereo" and "Shunt") on their own Generic Records label, followed quickly in mid-1996 by their second album, "Found Sound". Two singles from this album were released: "Fingerbobs" and "Bamboo".

In 1999, Charlie May collaborated with Sasha on his "Xpander" EP, and in 2002 he co-produced some tracks on Sasha's "Airdrawndagger" album. The same year saw the release of "Belong", the first Spooky single on Deviant Records, which Sasha later used on his mix album "Involver". A white label single, "Andromeda", was released in 2003 [ [http://www.progressive-sounds.com/Music-Reviews/Spooky-Andromeda.asp Music Reviews | Spooky Andromeda, [PS Progressive-Sounds ] ]

A single entitled "Strange Addiction" was given a limited release in 2005 on Spooky's new self-owned label, "spooky.uk.com". "Strange Addiction" featured in a trailer for the critically acclaimed The Great Global Warming Swindle which broadcast on British analogue Channel Channel 4 in March.

Spooky later bought back the rights to their entire back catalogue from the 5 record companies that previously owned their music, which had all gone out of business.
