Based in Ypsilanti, MI, a town located between Ann Arbor and Detroit, producer/DJ <a href="spotify:artist:1Tdp9qgW1R3GrkY5gAKhEG">Todd Osborn</a> first gained notoriety outside his region as Soundmurderer, releasing hyper-intense ragga jungle productions on his Rewind label with partner SK-1 (<a href="spotify:artist:7yNb21PFWckn27Rj9xf1K7">Tadd Mullinix</a>, aka <a href="spotify:artist:1tVRa7YiCwE6hTGsqqb4Te">Dabrye</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5oWkRpMJyT27u0WyRxYMeP">James T. Cotton</a>). The attention paid to Soundmurderer peaked with a mix for Violent Turd, 2003's Wired for Sound, which whipped through 60 tracks in less than 70 minutes. Techno and house releases credited to <a href="spotify:artist:1Tdp9qgW1R3GrkY5gAKhEG">Todd Osborn</a> and Osborne surfaced the previous year on labels like Throw and Ghostly International offshoot Spectral Sound; around the same time, <a href="spotify:artist:1Tdp9qgW1R3GrkY5gAKhEG">Osborn</a> was also collaborating with Brian Gillespie as <a href="spotify:artist:0jGUP5FLOFgZ0nbuQhVGCe">Starski & Clutch</a>, who released a handful of ghetto-tech singles on Databass. A handful of Osborne Spectral releases trickled out through 2008, leading to a self-titled album that was unsurprisingly eclectic, with singular spins on numerous strands of house, techno, and electronic pop. He has also operated with <a href="spotify:artist:7yNb21PFWckn27Rj9xf1K7">Mullinix</a> as TNT -- with releases and remixes that did to acid house what the <a href="spotify:artist:2BIf0aW9N1fHWq5eKNryBO">Soundmurderer & SK-1</a> material did to drum'n'bass, deploying reverent irreverence -- and has issued cassette-only recordings as Musk and Superstructure. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
