The producer and rapper Channel Tres’s home town may be Los Angeles, but the creative DNA of the
Midwest—the soulful dance music of the Detroit icon Moodymann, in particular—forms the hypnotic
backbone of his sound. Tres seemed to appear from nowhere in 2017, when his pulsing début single, “Con-
troller,” landed on the Internet; even then, the cool stylishness of his blend of hip-house and G-funk was
undeniable. He will traverse his concise but enthralling catalogue in a pair of shows at Brooklyn Steel, Nov. 8-9.
