Dobox at silicon valley techno jam session number 1
Here’s a 75 minute improvised jam session recording of 3 of Dobox’s artists: QORSER, The Rhythmist, and Steve Cooley, during the last hour and a half of “Silicon Valley Techno Jam Session #1″… all three artists came into the set without a preconceived preparation, so this is the rawest of the raw elements of what these three are made of. The tempo is a steady 142 bpm, so get ready for some bangin’ tech!!

Blasting Aliens and Bumping Beats
This Wednesday (8/29) at Works Gallery in Downtown San Jose, DoBox Recordings will help put on ‘Sidescroller’…a casual event to show off and let people play some of our favorite scrolling shooter video games (often known as ‘shmups‘). We are big fans of this video game genre and we felt it needed a little push in these times of mostly first-person shooters, driving sims and RPGs. Nothing like a good ol’ shooter to work on that hand-eye coordination…not to mention we do think they have significant artistic value. There will be games from a range of different game platforms like MAME, Sony Playstation and Sega Dreamcast.
Sidescroller will be a free event, but donations to Works Gallery will always be appreciated. Please help to keep the gallery running. Hope to see you there!
New sublabel on the way and upcoming DJ set
Coming soon is a new sublabel (name TBD) from DoBox to serve up some of our more eclectic leftfield music projects. One of the first artists scheduled to have a release on the new label is Dajis. He will also be doing a 1-hour DJ set at Works Gallery in downtown San Jose on July, 27th (Friday). Playing after him will be Polly Moller and Kioku. If you’re in the area, stop by and check it out!
