Band Members: One Cell
Producer One Cell forms the musical backbone to the BEAT DRUNX project. His distinguishable sound features an eclectic blend of a wide spectrum of musical influences, ranging from deep funk to rock and jazz, merged seamlessly with elements of contemporary urban music. He is also the drummer for funk band The Lightning Brothers who released a 6 track EP in 2004 entitled Funk Explorer. In a previous life, he was also an mc for hiphopcrew Cloud9, who appeared on Lefto & Gus radio show The Hop alongside Fab Fudge.
About two years ago, he and Rub decided it was time to start working on the project that would become BEAT DRUNX in the months to follow. Along the way, he diversified the sound and drew the overall blueprint to the project. In order to create this sound, he splices samples with synths and ties drums and bass lines to live percussion in order to supply the mcs with just about anything they can handle. Do not expect random MPC-stabs or looped hit records from this guy, you might just be in for a hell of a surprise.
Rubski
Most people are likely to know Rub from his previous work with Fab Fudge and the project he did with DYNO entitled Milk, Chicken & Chop Suey. He started writing rhymes about 11 years ago and hasnt put down the pen ever since.

Throughout the years he has developed a style of rhyming that is most trademarked by a scorching pace of flowing & intricate rhyme schemes.
