Mix: Goodbye Summer

Here's a short and sweet mix to mark the end of what has been a great summer. Goodbye humid weather, hello.....schoolwork. I'm headed back to Minnesota on Saturday for another year of midwestern education - along with months of bone-chilling, teeth-rattling, snot-freezing cold. You won't hear from me until I'm settled in - until then, enjoy!

Hyped-Up Plus Tax

Dabrye is one of my favorite electronic artists at the moment, yet he gets almost no mainstream attention. Why? Beats me. This is one of my favorite songs from his album called One/Three, called “Hyped-Up Plus Tax.” It’s a mesmerizing beat that’s sometimes off-kilter, a defining song that displays Dabrye’s genius. I hope you enjoy.

Dabrye, One/Three

A while back, my friend AJ introduced me to the electronic genius of Dabrye (pronounced "dah-bree"). His real name is Tadd Mullinix, an Ann Arbor based musician that makes music with "head-nodding beats, saw-tooth bass lines and a keen eye to forward-thinking production" according to his website. The album that I love most from Dabrye is called One/Three. It was released way back in 2001, and he has released many more quality albums since. There's just something about the vibe from One/Three that catches me in the right place. It's a great laid back feel that I've used a lot for studying or reading to. I highly recommend the album, and everything else that Dabrye has produced. Here's a track called "With A Professional," one of my favorites. It pumps and clicks along, with an ethereal and lazy aesthetic. Check the album out, I hope you enjoy.
