Los Angeles-based artist David Crow better known as Ghastly, has an undeniably interesting backstory that might help to explain his uniquely crafted style of bass-music. From growing up on an Arizona goat farm, to touring with metal bands, to eventually living out of a van on Venice Beach in order to land a career in dance music, David arrived at his place in the scene after a bizarre journey. Ghastly eventually gained a residency at mega-club Exchange LA and from there released via a handful of dominating labels including OWSLA, Dim Mak and Buygore. His original collaboration with Mija and Lil' John called 'Crank It' hit huge as a track which truly embodies dance music's status in The US right now, and his 2014 throwback track which was released just this year called 'Lil' Trick' proves that he's been ahead of the curve for quite some time.
I know this is an old post but I saw ghastly during the live stream at EDC in Las Vegas this year and Gastly effing killed it! Found this found this video on TH-cam and I like it. Who cares how was made or where it was made. He's just really good.
I think most of the crowd in this video is not into EDM, just there because they are cool and got invited to hang. Invite some people who enjoy the music yo
I admire this dude, because it is not of the djs that only mixing at a single speed (bpm) was wrong a couple of times, but plays with the decks, take the risk. Peace.
If we beatmatch perfectly: The set is pre-recorded If we fuck up, whether intentionally to show our legitness or by accident: We're pieces of shit who can't Dj. You people never cease to amuse me with your double standards. Ha! Real Dj's play good music and make the party bounce. End of rant.
+Christian Enkidu he's definitely mixing, look at the mixer when the bass drop, almost 4-8 beats after, another track starts to appear... it's easy to see...
Christian Enkidu tbh bro hate when people act like they can mix n shit themselves if u go to a show like this most of the time they legit mix but at festivals majority do pre recorded sets just cause of how many mainstream "edm" fans are there who i bet dont even know any other artists other then calvin harris and chainsmokers
Christian Enkidu Real DJ's bust their as practicing & perfect their sets with good music. Everyone makes mistakes, but when you make mistakes with never having to touch the pitch fader on very easy music to mix then you just suck. End of Rant. Also his levels were in the red clipping.

Seeing Ghastly live for the first time in two days at Lucky in Seattle. I'm probably going to shuffle my ass straight into music coma. He's gonna fucking kill it!

He can't beatmatch to save his life..I heard clacking between mixes....he does not mix ....
+Joseph Storm so true. parlor tricks to mix almost every track... but the quick mixes and track selection made for a really decent set.
+Joseph Storm the dude produces amazing tracks... Give and take my friend.
+Mixmag whats his backstory?
YOU CAPATALIST!!📖
Hearing him say he woke up with the flu and still DJing in front of loads of people hits different in 2020
Seen him live twice and both times were amazing. Love his style!!
What a weak ass crowd!!
This set was fuckin' LIT, fam.
hit em w the switch..
Swapnil Jain they should just drop some molly in everyone's drink and then they'd wake the fuck up.
I love how that camera guy reacts to the drop at 18:42
Wow when I thought I couldn't love him anymore I hear this 💕
Ghastly should evolve into Gengar, after that big set
needs to be traded 1st
+Saiam Seifi Missing Haunter first, just saying
lol
JagarKlato this☝️
Darryl Exell Bruh he went right passed Haunter. I thought only Digimon could do that.
Words can barely describe just how absolutely truly fucking amazing this guy is!!!By far one of the SICKEST fucking sets I've EVER heard!!!!
job for a cow boy !!!! dang that takes me back so much
Love the tunes Ghastly added to the mix. Very cool and keeps me moving!
This....and DJ Hanzel B2B with Drezo best Lab sets I reckon...
residentevil327 Dude yes! For real!
That B2B set is GODLY
I know this is an old post but I saw ghastly during the live stream at EDC in Las Vegas this year and Gastly effing killed it! Found this found this video on TH-cam and I like it. Who cares how was made or where it was made. He's just really good.

Lukas Seely dude idk how these people aren't bouncing so hard the whole building shakes. this set gets me going
So true
It's what happens when you play at high end venues
This crowd is WACK though.
Counterparts whatsup 3 years later

Shoutout to the photographer in the front who's dancing and not just standing around haha
Damn it's impressive to see him work. Excellent DJ
I love that dark house vibe he got he killing it
21:30 one foo finally starts gettin' it, and its the photographer

this is exactly what I have been searching for the past 2 years. Why did I find him just now??
i dont if this is a private event that you pay top dollar for but this mix is way to good for this amount of people
Brandon Costoya You either need to work there in L.A for MixMag or have an invite from someone who does.
I need a gig like this!!
Excellent.
Are You Afraid of the Dark @17:55 haha good job
you would think mixmag would get the audio right....
I can't take the vid serious. Because of the delay.. But the audio is why I'm here
I love how some of the hottest tracks are being dropped, and everyone is just standing there bobbing their head. smh
esto es lo mejor
The camera man is probably the chillest person there 🙏
