Symptoms of a False Awakening

‘Two/Three, the second in a trilogy of LPs from Detroit beatmaker Dabrye (AKA Tadd Mullinix), has earned massive praise worldwide as one of the most innovative underground hip-hop records of the decade. By overwhelming demand, Ghostly now offers Two/Three Instrumentals, a collection of Mullinix’s productions sans MCs that showcases his Midas touch and trademark handmade style. The exquisite thump of tracks like “Encoded Flow” is proof that Dabrye is one of those rare producers whose uncommonly detail-driven creations stand just as strongly on their own as when accompanied by lyrics, and the collection as a whole affirms Mullinix’s contention that hip-hop is electronic music.’

Fall (Glasgow, UK) presents a haunting set of soulful reworkings.

M.I.A.:

Dedicated to all my friends that died at 27.

LYRIX
= = = = = =
said your all mouth and no brains
all rock stars go to heaven
you said you’ll be dead at 27 
when we drunk in a English tavern
the owner poured you the Bourbon
and you drunk your self so rotten
he got so rich he bought a Bentley
and moved himself to Devon

you started dirty dancing
and you bar tended a dozen
i took you to the clinic
to get you clean but you couldn’t
said in 2 days ur 27 and and ur destiny was comin
and ur papa passed so sudden
and left you with lil somin

you blew that money on a mountain of drugs
and staged your self a bedin
a month later when i popped in
your still high but the winter set in
i bought you a coffee and a muffin
and you quoted me some Lenin
i wished i was that clever
but thats what kept me coming
your friendship did mean somin
but you left me for nothin
when i left, you befriended a rope
and i found you both were hanging.

Previously unreleased tracks from my “conceptual drum n bass” album under the name Blysk. Storm Threads was begun during the particularly electric-stormy summer of 2001, and was finally ‘done’ (read: abandoned!) circa 2003. Hope you enjoy, despite the unmastered, somewhat lower-fidelity sound! Thanks for listening.
