Tadd Mullinix

Profile:Under his many aliases (Dabrye, James T. Cotton, SK-1, etc.), Tadd Mullinix has created his own world of unique sounds, from hip-hop to acid techno to abstract electronics.

Mullinix’s recording career began with a series of releases on the legendary underground imprint Rewind (Detroit) Records, along with Todd Osborn. Together, under their aliases Soundmurderer & SK-1, the two created a string of ragga jungle 12"s (which were eventually picked up by Richard D. James’s label Rephlex).

But it was a chance meeting and a demo pass at a local record store with Ghostly International founder Sam Valenti that took Tadd's career in an entirely different direction. Originally an A-side demo geared to fit in with the house tracks that Ghostly had released thus far, Valenti flipped to the second side of the demo tape and found a series of beautifully crafted abstract beats fused with classically inspired melodies. These demos became the foundation for Winking Makes A Face, the first full-length release for Ghostly International. The album was received with international praise from both music fans and publications alike.

Mullinix's profile further rose in the summer of 2001 when he was selected by Carl Craig to be a live performer in the second Detroit Electronic Music Festival. It was during his live performance that people were treated to the birth of Mullinix's newest persona, Dabrye, and the techno cut-ups of James T. Cotton.

This is phenomenal stuff!If You are a fan of Autechre,Chris Clarke,Bogdan Raczynksi,Aphex Twin,or Mu-Ziq,then You definitely want both the Panesep and full length debutWinking Makes A Face.Terse,phantasmagoric textures of vividly striking string theory thetawaves sine and sweep over whiplash warble and wicked tempos,and Damn It Man,I cannot stop listening to either of these!Fearlessly innovative and never predictable (and with a name like TaddYouve got to try harder than the others!)-Solid Proof that Ghostly International delivers the goods time and again!These records deserves six stars out of five!
