Dabrye's beats are like a unique blend of Jay Dee's style and Autechre's edge, as described by Preuse 73. In 2002, Eastern Developments first released 'Instrmntl', which was a standout among the 30+ releases during its five - year run. This album followed Dabrye's debut 'One/Three' on Ghostly International. It expanded on tech funk, adding more sample - based elements while maintaining high - quality production. Back then, the music was labeled downtempo, but it also shows Dabrye (Tadd Mullinix)'s hip - hop side. While releasing this, Mullinix was also active under other aliases. Dabrye, however, truly introduced him to the music world with its short, sweet, funk - infused pieces, influencing the early 2000s beat scene. The comparison to Dilla is apt as they both shaped instrumental hip hop and even collaborated in 2003. This limited - edition release by Ghostly International comes on blue vinyl in a full - color sleeve with a download code. It includes a previously Japanese - only bonus track 'Gimme Lowlands'.
How to use: Just insert the vinyl into your record player and enjoy the music. If you prefer digital, use the download code to access the music on your device. Note: When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid scratching it. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place to prevent warping. For the download code, keep it in a safe place as it can't be replaced if lost. When cleaning the vinyl, use a proper vinyl cleaning brush to remove dust gently.
