All of you Sony PSP homebrew fans out there are probably familiar with ]]>PSPKick]]>, the sample-playback drum machine/sequencer. Well, a bunch of the artists here at DoBox Recordings have joined together and created a soundpack for ]]>PSPKick]]> which you can download from ]]>here]]>. There are samples created by DoBox regulars like Qorser and Steve Cooley, as well as ones created by close pals of the netlabel like ]]>Mattski]]> and ]]>Noka]]>.

We’ve got a special couple of releases to help you kick off the weekend-long Movement electronic music festival in Detroit, Michigan. First off, we have a 4-track release of pure techno goodness from world-reknowned producer Lucas Rodenbush. And on its heels we have another 4-tracker from Mr. Rodenbush along with his partner, ]]>Designforms]]> mastermind Jonra Babiracki. Together they form the duo, Storytellerz. Both of these guys will be at the Movement festival this weekend, so keep your eyes and ears open for them. But for now, enjoy their releases!

Those of you familiar with the 12″ vinyl releases by The Rhythmist on ]]>Resource Records]]> back in 1999 and 2000 (and those who aren’t) will be glad to hear that there were more trax recorded during those sessions that were never released…until now. We present to you more sounds from his infamous Bluelight District studio from a time when not many computers had enough CPU power to run lots of soft-synths. Hardware was still the name of the game, and as you will soon hear, he knew how to play the game well. Enjoy!

1. The Force of Night
2. Garbage Truck Controls
3. Irridescent

Izidor Radmanovic aka bLURiX will be playing a live PA tomorrow night, Apr 29th 2006 at Cab Club (Zagreb, Croatia). Come and check it out if you’re in the area, and we hope to see you there!

Taking a moment from helping his partners run their Spain-based netlabel ]]>Flumo]]>, Lektrono (Rafael Marinelli) gives us the latest release on DoBox Recordings. The three tracks that make up this release definitely tell the complete opposite story than the title would have you believe. Lektrono takes us on a trip, and keeps us moving some part of our body the entire time. Enjoy!

1. Respira
2. La Vaca Verde
3. Novato

We’ve made another friend from the other side of the globe…this time from Croatia. bLURiX (aka Izidor Radmanovic) has created these three great tracks that trigger the imagination as well as make your head nod. ‘Weltjugentag’ and ‘Handy-Shop’ both have that old-school jackin’ sound, but also have a sci-fi feel to them. ‘Wieliczka’ takes things to a different level with it’s quirky synths and tumbling electro beats. All in all, we think this is a fun release that you’re sure to enjoy. And thanks to ]]>Zimmer Records]]> for the use of ‘Handy Shop’!

We’ve got a new four tracker of digital funk from The Rhythmist, and included with it is a sneak peek of some fun things to come. Taking an interest in developing VST instrument plug-ins, he shows off some of the fruits of his labor on ‘Seg’ and ‘16th & Curtis’. Most of the instrumentation in both of them (except for the drums) are from his plug-ins. Stay tuned as you might see some of these virtual instruments available here in the not too distant future. Oh yeah…and enjoy the music!

1. Seg
2. 16th & Curtis
3. Booga
4. Downtown Chi

Alright…we finally have our first release of the new year. ‘Complexions’ is a 6-track release of cosmic ruckus from the artist known as Plex. Inspired by electro, old-school breaks and high-powered techno, his style comes across fierce and sophisticated…and it’s rare that you find those two qualities existing together at the same time. Enjoy!

1. Lecework
2. Class
3. He Akt
4. Christmas
5. Sloth
6. Qwok Chop Chop

And here it is…the last release of the year 2005. But don’t worry, we have plenty more coming your way next month. In the meantime please enjoy this new release from Igor O. Vlasov. He’s been pretty busy this year with releases on other netlabels like ]]>One Bit Wonder]]>, ]]>Knobs]]>, ]]>Eastern Recordings]]>, ]]>Uran97]]> and ]]>Mixomat]]>. Now he’s back at DoBox for a second release, and we hope you enjoy.
Happy New Year to all, and we’ll see you again next month!
