Ghost Production

(Noun). Specific to the EDM music scene. This refers to a piece of music that has been created by a certain artist or artists (who will not be credited), and is sold and distributed under another artist or musician's name.

Huge acts that tour consistantly now have others write 'ghost productions' for them (to keep them relevant).

Ghost producing

Ghost producing is most easily defined as the production of instrumentals for an already alleged hip hop producer who needs someone else to make his beats to rap over. Ghost producing is most easily relatable to "Ghost writing." In which a writer writes lyrics for a rapper to spit. Nonetheless this is all usually kept in secrecy unless stated on the albums credits.

"Kanye west bought beats from Madlib, but hes already a producer."

"Yeah, Madlib's ghost producing."

Ghost Productive

When you spend hours looking busy, with tabs open, notes everywhere, intense face on.. but you accomplish absolutely nothing significant.

I was being "ghost productive' all day, but I still gave absolutely zero clue as to what I'm doing.
