Title:	Pt. 1
Label:	SPECTRAL SOUND
Format:	12"
Price:	$6.50
Catalog #:	SPC 034EP

"Notorious sonic shape-shifter Tadd Mullinix has joined up with long-time collaborator D'Marc Cantu to create 2 AM/FM, a new extension of the acid house built by the pioneers of the 1980s and '90s. Raw, polyrhythmic drum boxes underscore vampiric vocal treatments and cavernous synth lines that parallel Mullinix's acclaimed work as James T. Cotton while staking a claim to the crate of any DJ worth his salt. While initially accessible for its jacking pulses and immediate hooks, the true core of 2 AM/FM exists in the details, as the addition and subtraction of subtle nuances and rhythmic shifts allow the duo to forge a set of mesmerizing sonic labyrinths. Tribal rhythms overlap and entwine with groaning, processed samples and infectious 606 melodies to create a rich atmosphere unlike any record of its kind."

Catalog #:	SPC 038EP

"Detroit's James T. Cotton and D'Marc Cantu are back with Pt. 2, the second installment of their dark acid collaboration as 2 AM/FM. Ramping up the jacking rhythms of their first 12", the duo works from a distinctly oldschool percussive palette to craft the propulsive backbeat of 'Sweat Box' and the massive groove of 'The Ace of Spades.' The epic 'Acid Planes' is an exercise in polyrhythmic permutation with the potential to take the entire dancefloor captive for its 13-minute duration. Continuing to earn their place amidst the heroes of the hugely influential Chicago acid house scene, 2 AM/FM make another stunningly strong case for the genre's vitality with Pt. 2."
