Spooky is an electronica duo consisting of Duncan Forbes and Charlie May. They debuted with Gargantuan after signing to Guerilla Records. The album was critically acclaimed, as was the follow-up, Found Sound (1996). This was followed by several popular singles, released on Spooky's own Generic Records and toured across Europe.

In 1999, Charlie May collaborated with Sasha on his Xpander EP, and in 2002 he co-produced some tracks on Sasha's Airdrawndagger album. The same year saw the release of Belong, the first Spooky single on Deviant Records, which Sasha later used on his mix album Involver. A white label single, Andromeda was released in 2003.

A single entitled Strange Addiction was given a limited release in 2005 on Spooky's new self-owned label, spooky.uk.com. This was followed in September 2006 with the release of No Return as a download and promotional CD. Spooky later announced that they had bought back the rights to their entire back catalogue from the 5 record companies that previously owned their music, all having gone out of business. They will be making all tracks available to purchase as downloads from their official site, at the same time as re-releasing Gargantuan on CD in December 2006.

Release date of their new album, Open, is 28 May 2007.
