Decadent Dub Team

DDT was formed in 1986 by Paul Quigg, David Williams and Jeffrey Liles in the Deep Ellum area of downtown Dallas. First single "Six Gun" was on the "Sound of Deep Ellum" compilation album released by Island Records in '87. Remixed later that year by NWA's Dr. Dre for the soundtrack to the Dennis Hopper-directed LA film "Colors". Quigg and Williams left the group six months apart from one another and started their own projects. They were replaced by DJ EZ Eddie D, a rapper/break dancer named Tracy Feith and DJ J-son Wolford. 1990 DDT co-produced "30 Cops or More" and "Seven DeeJays" for the "Edutainment" album by Boogie Down Productions, and released a 7" single called "Meltdown". Two years later DDT added three more MCs - Da' Jay, Ty Macklin and MYK- and released a 12" single on Los Angeles-based Triple X Records - "Makin' Funky Money" b/w "Give Up Tha Gold". These songs were remixed by MC 900 Ft Jesus.



In 1995 Liles began an ongoing music-driven spoken word project called "Cottonmouth, Texas" with backing music provided by a new version of DDT - including Kenny Withrow (New Bohemians) on guitar, Dave Monsey (MC 900 Ft Jesus, Fiona Apple) on bass, Mike Jerome (John Cale, Course of Empire, Pleasure Club) on drums, Zac Baird (Billygoat, Korn, Everlast) keyboards, Liles on turntables and vocals, and producer/engineer David Castell on the console. Cottonmouth, Texas released "Anti-Social Butterfly" on Virgin Records in the summer of 1997 and participated in that summer's Lollapalooza Tour. Cm, Tx also recently participated in the first half of the Warped Tour 2007.
