Biography

Dabrye is one of the aliases of Tadd Mullinix, an Ann Arbor, MI-based producer who carved a niche in the IDM community with early 2001's Winking Makes a Face (released under his own name), a twisted album that blended a sick sense of humor with genuine emotion. Later that year, Mullinix unveiled Dabrye with One/Three, the first of a three-part series that skews fractured hip-hop production. Falling into a categorical netherworld, tracks from One/Three enjoyed frequent rotation on tastemaker Gilles Peterson's BBC radio program, and "Hyped-Up Plus Tax" was eventually licensed by Motorola. Instrmntl followed on Scott Herren's (Prefuse 73) Eastern Developments label in 2002. Singles "The Payback" (featuring a Prefuse 73 remix) and "Game Over" (a collaboration with Jay Dee and Phat Kat) were respectively released in 2002 and 2004, and several remixes for other artists were compiled for 2005's Additional Productions, Vol. 1. Two/Three, featuring several guest MCs, followed in 2006. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide

Dabrye is an alias of Ann Arbor, Michigan-based musician Tadd Mullinix (also known as James T. Cotton, SK-1), whose Winking Makes A Face was the first album released by Ann Arbor’s Ghostly International.

Parting with the IDM sound of Winking..., the first Dabrye album was 2001's One/Three, whose take on instrumental hip-hop paralleled the work of artists such as Prefuse 73. Successive Dabrye projects included 2004's Game Over single, which featured MC work by Jay Dee and Phat Kat – the single was a precursor to the second Dabrye full-length Two/Three, which includes other notable underground figures like MF DOOM, Beans, Vast Aire, and Big Tone, and features art by France's WK Interact. Mullinix’s work as Dabrye has been met with acclaim for its signature rhythmic sensibilities, which fuse the feel of live drumming with stylized electronic programming.

Dabrye recently teamed up with then-roommate D’Marc Cantu to form the Techno/Acid house group 2 AM/FM.

The track Hyped-Up Plus Tax from the One/Three album was used as a jingle for the Motorola RAZR V3 commercial.
