The disc opens to a folder containing 23 construction kits ranging from 80 to 180 bpm, with most hovering around 120. I'm immediately impressed by the scope of what's offered: everything from dream-pop, robot music, techno-goth and early Ministry-like electro industrial (minus screaming guitars) to erotic '80s house and even a cool downtempo new-wave rap beat

Hailing from the very heart of hip-hop culture (Ann Arbor, Michigan) Tadd Mullinix aka Dabrye is back on the shelves at your local record store (if you are lucky enough to still have one) with his third full-length release Two/Three. The enigmatic and fractional title is the follow up to his 2001 debut One/Three and 2002 sophomore release Instrmntl. Mullinix, who is quite the busy beaver, also makes house, techno, and industrial music under other monikers. So it's not surprising that his brand of hip-hop is a little bit left of center. A Dabrye album is as likely to feature white noise, sawbuzz analog synths, and found sounds, as its title is to include numbers or consonants, it seems.

In this episode, you will hear music from his latest release called, "Journey Thru the Concrete Jungle". This mix was created as a musical journey that was inspired by his move from the San Francisco club scene to his dream scene of New York City.

This weeks spotlight is not new to this show nor is he new to the club scene. DJ Dru West has played several venues over his 15-year career. To listen, go to: http://greatunknownspresents.com
