Headless Ghost

Headless Ghost operates as an alias for Swiss producer Raphaël Ripperton, who also releases music under the names Ripperton and Rayon. The project launched in 2013 with releases appearing exclusively on the Drumpoet Community label. Ripperton has maintained the Headless Ghost moniker as a distinct outlet within his broader catalog of electronic music productions.

The Headless Ghost sound centers on deep house and house music, with seven releases on Drumpoet Community spanning from 2013 to 2018. The tracks typically feature slower tempos and introspective atmospheres that contrast with the more upbeat material Ripperton produces under his main alias. The music emphasizes subtle percussion, warm basslines, and minimal vocal elements, creating tracks suitable for late-night club sets and home listening. The project remained active through 2018, with releases consistently maintaining the deeper, more contemplative approach that defines the Headless Ghost aesthetic.
