Abigail Ward is a DJ, artist and producer from Lancashire, UK. She makes music under the name Ghost Assembly. Her debut release, ‘I Miss Your Love’ - a raw and soulful homage to Chicago house on Ruf Dug’s Ruf Kutz label - garnered swoons from Optimo, Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy, Bradley Zero and Mary Anne Hobbs, plus several plays on BBC 6 Music.
As a DJ Abigail thrives on creating absorbing multi-genre road trips that are guaranteed to elicit an emotional response, be that on a dancefloor, at an art gallery or in your headphones. Twelve years as a counter jockey in Manchester’s best-loved independent record shops, Piccadilly Records, Vinyl Exchange and Kingbee, inspired her open-eared eclecticism. A well-schooled crate digger, she excels at stitching together oddball tunes from disparate sources and is not afraid to produce new edits of tracks in order to create the perfect audio collage. Her abiding musical passions include rare soundtracks, krautrock, deep soul and reggae, but she is equally at ease banging out underground house in a sweaty club, or live-streaming a leftfield pop set from her studio in Hulme. The thread that runs through all of her music is a sense of mystery, melody and a certain voodoo groove.
Also a broadcaster of some repute, Abigail has curated sets for BBC 6 Music, NTS Melodic Distraction and Reform Radio. As a presenter she is celebrated as much for her subversive badinage as for her musical choices
Abigail is a co-founder of Suffragette City, an annual large-scale club event celebrating female, trans and non-binary DJ talent, which raises funds for local grass roots charities.Her most recent bookings include Manchester International Festival, Gottwood, Islington Mill, Manchester Psyche Fest and Homobloc, where head honcho Luke Una (Electric Chair, Homoelectric) described her thus:
‘She’s like a young Mancuso. Her selections are insanely magical. She’s got that thing. You can’t contrive that or buy or replicate it. It’s deeply esoteric and natural and perfectly balanced. One of the unsung heroes.’
