The sound of Modern Retro is a term often used to describe the music of Spookboy. Using modern digital technology, he writes original material, re-creating the classic grooves of yesteryear. From driving beats to laid back melodic lounge music, Spookboy's music is inspired by composers such as John Barry, Ennio Morricone, David Axelrod and the classic Library Musicians who were active in the UK and continental Europe during the 60's and 70's. Spookboy has many years of recording and performing experience, as a live and studio musician.

MODERN RETRO ( 2010 MIX)
(by
Spookboy
)
Composed: 2009
Building up gradually from deep warm bass notes,this is a hook to die for,
Drums and Percussion enter the arena, as a flurry of deftly controlled Broken beats merge with that classic Ethereal Keyboard sound,and then that Trippy
Vocal sample meets with the Psychedelic violin in a Sonic Crescendo. Vocal Sample, Dance Music, Breakbeat
