EDM Ghost Production & Remixes
Worldwide
I'm looking for an Ableton-based ghost producer working in Melodic House / Big Room Emotional House to collaborate with on an ongoing basis, building out tracks that start from existing sketches, ideas, or concepts. This isn't a one-off gig - it's meant to grow into a long-term working relationship if it's a good fit. Before agreeing to work together, I'll share demos of the style and sound I'm going for. Please listen closely and make sure you're genuinely comfortable and confident producing in this space before committing - I'd rather find that out up front than partway into a track. What This Looks Like - We'll start with *one track* as a trial collaboration. - If that goes well, the goal is to continue working together on a handful of songs that are already half-baked, each starting from one of the following: - An Ableton project that's already been started - An M4A audio file/idea - A base concept with no audio yet — just direction Longer term, this has the potential to become an ongoing partnership with a target of 6–12 songs per year. Deliverables - Fully produced, release-ready EDM tracks developed collaboratively from the starting material provided - Clear checkpoints throughout each track's development (not just a final bounce at the end) so direction can be confirmed or adjusted along the way - File Delivery: The full Ableton project file, since this is an ongoing collaborative build rather than a bounce-and-done handoff Compensation - The first track will be paid as a **flat fee** - If this turns into a longer-term arrangement, compensation structure for subsequent tracks will be discussed and agreed on at that point - Revisions can be structured either as an hourly rate or a set fee - open to discussing which works better for you Ownership & Credit - Open to bringing you on as a **co-producer with credit**, rather than a traditional full ghost arrangement, if that matters to you - An NDA will be signed after the first track is completed, ahead of any longer-term work Skills Required - **Must work in Ableton Live** - this is non-negotiable, since all source material and workflow are built around it - Strong sound design, arrangement, and mixing skills specifically in Melodic House / Big Room House - Comfortable taking a rough idea, stem, or concept and developing it into a finished track - Creative instincts - able to contribute ideas, not just execute instructions Communication & Working Style - This is a *collaborative co-production process*, not a hand-off-and-wait arrangement - Looking for someone who can listen to a concept or reference and restate the intention back clearly - showing they understand where a track is trying to go before running with it - Responsive, reliable communication throughout a project (not just at delivery) - Comfortable giving and receiving feedback on works-in-progress How to Apply Please share: - A few examples of your production work (ideally melodic house / emotional house, done in Ableton) - Any experience with ghost production or collaborative co-production specifically - Your general availability/turnaround for a first trial track If your work aligns, I'll send over demos of the sound and direction I'm looking for so you can confirm you're comfortable and confident with the style before we move forward.
