It blows me away that a single person can release music on such opposite poles yet still be a the forefront. It leads to musical genius i suppose.

Dabrye aka Tadd Mullinix, who also produces under SK-1 and James T Cotton for Ghostly International.

In his Dabrye guise he releases downbeat symphonies of eletro combined with jazz combined with hip hop all combined with sophisticated flare. He has even inspired artists such as Prefuse 73, who released a mix of 3 dabrye's tracks as a track on a Ghostly EP.

Should also mention that as James T Cotton, Tadd has ripped apart the techno boundaries and made some of the most ingenius and complex rhythms ever. Check out Dancing Box ep and Buck Ep on spectral.

Originally melting people with his downbeat twists now Dabrye is rolling down experimental hip hop avenues and is becomming one of the hottest up and coming artists in the US. That is all well and cool but i hope he still releases his non-vocal twisted tunes.

From his site:

ORIGINAL PRODUCTION ON LABELS: Ghostly/Spectral, Eastern Developments, TNT, Rewind!, Rephlex, Shockout, ~Scape, International DeeJay Gigolos, Udek, Muzique.

THE ALIASES:
Dabrye - (Hip hop inspired by P.E., DJ Premier, Kraftwerk, J Dilla, Dr. Dre;)

the sonic result of music realized in methods using drum machines, synths and step sequencing; the sonic pallette of new wave, electro, early industrial dance, synthie funk, and digi-dub - many of which were popular among skateboard youth and the air waves of Detroit's best, Electrifyin Mojo and The Wizard in the late 80's-90's.

James T. Cotton - (Influenced by; Robert Hood, Jeff Mills, Liaisans Dangereuses, Carlos Souffront, Traxx, )
acid from the Sleezy D (i've lost control) perspective, the drippy experimental counterpoint basslines of the 303 and similar squelch style step-seq arpeggiations, the acidic and edit aspects of belgian newbeat, acid of the 1990's Cologne (only the jackingest variety), interestingly juxtaposed and sometimes nonmusical hypnotic cycle phrases in dancemusic.

SK-1 - (Ragga jungle.)
Real mashed up. Usually produced with Soundmurderer (aka Todd Osborn).

Yeah Dabrye is hot.

Did you catch him when he toured Australia in 2003?

He brought the one of the biggest and oldest 'portable' computers I'd seen in a long time and ran everything from what was in essence a tracker program.

Is that what that was? I remember looking at his set-up and TINA that year and wondering what on earth kind of a set-up it was...

Two / Three's wonderful...indeed, getting loads of play on my home system and radio show...great stuff.

Definitely one of the best on the more electronic end of hip hop/beats (I've heard it described as "glitch hop" which I like as a sub genre name)

I prefer One Three over Two Three but both are hot.

SMoking the Edge is still an awesome track....where do you hear this kinda music in Sydney???

I know we get straight out hip hop (although that is rare also) but where do you hear more sophisticated electronicy sorta stuff ala dabrye and kinda like I spose, the stuff they play on SOlid Steel...

Tangent...sorry :blush:

wow, I've always wondered who SK-1 was. What a surprise! That 'Rewind Records' LP is killer.

Pure sonic gold! If you like his stuff check out The Considerate Builders Scheme/Seven Ark. Wish there was more of this stuff floating around.

truffle no shuffle off one/three is I think my favourite piece of purely electronic music of all time.
