Moniker(s) / J.T.C., James T. Cotton
With two LPs and a slew of 12"s and collaborative projects, Tadd Mullinix, when not producing hip hop as Dabrye, has been leading the way for a new wave of house, techno and electro under the alias JTC (formerly James T. Cotton). Recording for Spectral, TNT, Nation, Creme Organization, Udek, Frigio, M>O>S, Minimal Rome, Relief and more, collaborating with Todd Osborn, D'marc Cantu and Traxx, and having remixed Orgue Electronique and Depeche Mode, he has received acclaim for his raw productions from influentials like Laurent Garnier, Traxx, and Trevor Jackson. And his records have been in rotation thanks to respected DJs like Theo Parrish, Sven Väth, Traxx, Carlos Souffront, Ryan Elliot, Ben Sims, Mick Wills, Serge, and DJ Qu. He's been DJing professionally since the mid-90s, meanwhile drawing influences from Ron Hardy to Jeff Mills. JTC has been touring the world and also playing regularly in his hometown, Ann Arbor, blending seamlessly, unreleased originals with techno, disco, and everything in-between.
In 2010, at the University Of Michigan, Tadd Mullinix performed with Laura Kuhn, director of the John Cage Trust, Cage's "Indeterminacy".
