Themselves are Doseone and Jel. Adam Drucker (Doseone), was born in Napa, Idaho. Jeffrey Logan was born in Chicago.
Jel became familiar with Dose through his good friend and college radio partner, Kevin Beacham. But it wasn't until early 1998 when some tapes where exchanged through mutual friend, Mr. Dibbs, that the two realized their potential together. Soon after a few phone conversations, Jel started making frequent sojourns from Chicago to Cincinnati to record with Dose.
The duo's first couple of tracks ended up on Dose's first, self-released record "Hemispheres" (1998). Then from April of 1998 to January 1999 they solidified their chemistry, putting the tracks together that would end up on themselves-them (or them-s/t). That same Spring Dose and Jel, along with Slug of Atmosphere and Sole and Alias of Live Poets began recording deep puddle dynamics-the taste of rain...why kneel?. Out of that record, the concept of Anticon was somewhere born - whose founding Dose and Jel would become an integral part of, later bringing them both to the Bay Area.
Dose has been involved with numerous other projects such as collaborations with Boom Bip, John Herndon, Prefuse 73, Buck 65, Aesop Rock, Sole of Anticon, and HOOD. He's also the front man in the band Subtle and is an essential ingredient in cLOUDDEAD with Why? and Odd Nosdam.
Jel is also involved in the band Subtle and has produced music for Black Thought of the Roots, DJ Krush, Mr. Dibbs, Sole of Anticon, Atmosphere and Sage Francis.
