COTTON || TRAXX || BEAU WANZER livebr> _____________________________ Hi All- JACKSON is back at Lava! For our May edition, we are honored to present a Label Night for NATION Recordings for what's sure to be burner. The brainchild of Chicago mainstay + scene luminary Melvin Oliphant III, aka TRAXX, guests for the evening include Ghostly/Spectral stalwart JAMES T. COTTON, Nation artist + Chicago native BEAU WANZER, and of course, TRAXX himself. Guestlist and reduced admission information is listed below... don't miss out! ____________________________ "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. " -TRAXX: Nation Label Head ____________________________ 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) JAMES T.
