Oakland, San Francisco CA, United States (2001 – present)

Subtle is a music group consisting of artists, producers, rappers, instrumentalists Adam ‘Doseone’ Drucker, Jeff ‘Jel’ Logan, Dax Pierson, Marty Dowers, Jordan Dalrymple and Alexander Kort. Although both Adam and Jeff are founding and continuing members of the Anticon music collective, Subtle is not on the Anticon roster. Subtle started as an Oakland, California based band in 2001. While considered by the artists to be “genreless”, Subtle has close ties to the hip-hop and indie music scene. Alexander Kort has released CDs on anticon’s official web store run by astropitch. com, and both Dax and Jordan have all been involved with various other anticon projects in the past.

Subtle began in 2001 when Dax Pierson, an employee at the Amoeba Music record store in Berkeley, CA., met Adam Drucker at the record store. They decided to try and make some music together. The first time they got together Pierson also invited Alexander Kort to the session, whom Pierson had collaborated on performing, composing and improvising a score for some classic silent films (Marty Dowers was also a part of these collaborations). Later that year, Pierson was invited to an open mic show and invited other musicians to form a one-time group for a predominately improvised twenty minute performance. Pierson invited Marty Dowers (woodwind/synth), Jordan Dalrymple (drums/guitar) — a fellow Amoeba Music employee — and Alexander Kort (cello), all of whom Pierson had previously played with. Everyone enjoyed playing together so much that they decided to continue on as a group and added mpc/drum machinist Jeff ‘Jel’ Logan and emcee/vocalist Adam ‘Doseone’ Drucker, who had both created music as the duo Themselves.
