“Listen to them, children of the night, what music they make!”

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. The costumes, the candy (yes, admittedly I'm still a child at heart,) the movies, and, most importantly, the spirit of the holiday itself. In the Underground, fall marks a time when music is started to get a little less light hearted, and a little deeper and darker.  Halloween itself usually takes it to a whole other level.  Club goers and party throwers live for Halloween. I ask anyone to go out to any Underground event the weekend or on Halloween and you will see what I mean. A sea of costumes, decorations, and eerie beats that would make your inner creep grin with sinister pleasure. Going along with this idea, I have here some tracks that will surely chill you to the bone and will surely get you excited for this Halloween.


Eerie, deep house. Haunting, repetitive vocals. Some kind of creepy child's laugh in the background. Sure to please even the pickiest house music elitist. This track is bewitching to say the least, and deserving of a spot on the list.  


This one comes from the young, yet super talented producer Rich Gior. This song is not new, no, but is Halloween material through and through and certainly does not disappoint. Gior takes a disturbing classic house vocal, "Rippin Kittin," and elevates it through simple, yet sophisticated and spotless production. The strong foundation allows the creepy vocals shine in this song. This is the stuff nightmares are made of.




Getting away from vocals for a bit, but still holding true to the spirit of Halloween, David G Tronic hits us with a  dope groove that will make your skin crawl. No, the track doesn't have any vocals, but the production alone shows us that it can stand alone on it's own, no problem.  This track would put anyone in a very danceable, groovy mood, and yet also would freak anyone who heard it before their bedtime (exactly what I'm doing now… uh oh.) All in all, thumbs up!
