Combining the loose swagger of Detroit hip-hop (Slum Village, et al.) and the minimal glitch ethos of modern hybrid IDM (Chocolate Industries, Schematic, etc.), One/Three is a concise, albeit bizarre study in abstract beatscapes. Under his Dabrye alias, Tadd Mullinix couples his oddbal sense of humor with his love for the hip-hop instrumental, grinding out compelling cut-up beats that are as strangely listenable as some of the skittering R&B symphonies heard on pop radio lately.

The first LP in a trilogy of the Dabrye sound, One/Three diminishes the space between the cerebral and the sexual in this blend of abstract electronics and attempts to tie the immediate past to the way-far future, with more than pleasurable results.

"Dabrye's beats are like Jay Dee getting crunked up with Autechre." Scott Herren (AKA Prefuse 73)
