____________________________
"Nation is created from Traxx as a label designed to keep underground music alive... It is TO BE PLAYED, not to die in collector's hands... All releases are strictly limited to 500 pieces and all 3 releases are so far have sold out... Nation's sounds emerge from the electronic backgrounds of dance culture: rhythm tracks, Vintage Synth, Nu Wave, EBM (electronic body music), Darker Wave, and House Groove. Influenced by the musical predecessors of the 80's through the early 90's, we create a new era of sound: JAKBEAT. "

JAMES T. COTTON
aka DABRYE DJ Performance
Collabs as SATURNV.TnT.X2.2AM/FM
Nation.Ghostly.Spectral.CremeOrg
As DABRYE, Tadd Mullinix is known for creating head-nodding beats with saw-tooth bass lines and a keen eye to forward-thinking production. Around the same time that Tadd adopted his hip-hop oriented alias, he also took on the acid house alias JAMES T. COTTON. With its playful use of female Chinese vocals, the first Cotton single “Mind Your Manners” became an instant favorite of DJs like Traxx, Deecoy, and Carlos Souffront. Not one to be pigeonholed, Cotton’s work became darker with his remix of Charles Manier’s “Bang Bang Lover” and the monolithic EBM monster “I Seek” from the State of the Union EP. What followed was an extended period in Berlin where Cotton really hit his stride. The Buck! and Press Your Body EPs were a definite shock to the system, owing much to the sounds of classic Detroit techno and Belgian New Beat, and paved the way for his hypnotic debut full-length, The Dancing Box. In 2005, Cotton teamed up with D’Marc Cantu to create 2 AM/FM. Cotton is also one half of Saturn V along with Traxx, creating pieces of masterful jakbeat, as well as a member of techno duo TNT with Todd Osborn. Cotton’s Oochie Coo and the LP Like No One continued down the path into darker, more psychedelic territory, delving deeper into Cotton’s mysterious persona. (from Ghostly)

From the underground chicago noise/DIY scene comes BEAU WANZER... Performing since 2002 in various dilapidated basements around the city... For his first official release, Nation presents you 'Fuk You Klaxsons'. The song title is in reference to not being engulfed by current trends, genre pigeonholes, or hype.
