Channel Tres

Channel Tres is a Los Angeles based artist who blends the rhythmic sensibilities of deep house with the cadence of hip hop.

Born in Compton, he treats his raspy voice as an instrument, layering a nonchalant, seductive delivery over low slung grooves. His sound is defined by a strategic use of space and a focus on the drums, which he views as the essential foundation for dance music. From the G funk elements of tracks like Weedman to the hypnotic pull of his breakout single Controller, Tres crafts an atmosphere described as warm and sunny. His approach is a fusion of his background as a music director and producer, resulting in a sophisticated, understated style that bridges the gap between the club and the street. He has collaborated with peers such as Thundercat and JPEGMAFIA, further expanding his sonic palette.
