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!

This new three tracker from Chris Sendejas is like a story of espionage and mystery for the dancefloor. His mix of cinematic sounds and dub techniques define his unique style. This release is great to drive to, listen to at home, or git down to on the dancefloor. Feel free to do all three.

2. Ohm For Me
3. Unknown

I’m sure some of you out there have been directly affected by hurricanes Rita and Katrina or know someone who has. Most of my family live in the southern areas of Louisiana, so I would have to say I definitely fall into that catagory. Along with those people we do know, there are thousands of other people we don’t know who also need assistance recovering from these two devastating storms. That’s why Dobox Recordings is teaming up with various producers and labels to create a new CD series to benefit those in need.
]]>
First up, we have a 3-track CD release titled ‘Loved EP’ from Chicago-based producer Wyndell Long]]> (]]>Pro-Jex]]>, ]]>Peacefrog]]>, Fiji). Profits made from his release will go directly to the Red Cross Disaster Relief funds for the victims of hurricanes Rita and Katrina. This ‘ep’ of tracky funk was originally destined for the Trax Cafe Recordings imprint, but we have now joined forces to bring it to you together on CD to help those in need. The price for it is only $7.00 and it’s available for purchase ]]>here]]>.

We will have more releases by other artists in the near future, and will continue to donate to disaster relief and humanitarian funds. We all live on this world, and we all need help at some time or another. Let’s help those who really need it right now.

It’s been a little while since we heard from him, but we have an interesting new release by The Rhythmist. These five trax are the result of an experiment to see what he could come up with using only the demo of a well-known soft studio. No saving and no going back. Here’s what he came up with…enjoy!

1. Accelerated
2. Constant
3. The Mistake
4. Rapid Thoughts
5. Orbital Views

After it’s release waaaay back in January of 1998 on ]]>RESO-005]]>, System Abuse became an instant favorite on Resource Records. And now they crack open the vault 7 years later to bring you the previously unreleased remixes by Resource freakoids Mutor (Andy W) and Plex, as well as the FULL original mix by Chris Jackson.

The moment we’ve all been waiting for….PSPKick 2.0 is released! For those that don’t know, PSPKick is a drum machine/sequencer for the Sony PSP (only for firmware 1.5 or earlier) written by Nathan Wray and Noah Vawter. New features in the 2.0 version include Song Mode and the ability to load custom samples and soundpacks. It comes with several soundpacks created by producers across the globe, including one by Dobox’s own Derek Scott. If you’ve got a PSP and you like to make beats, you definitely have to check this out.

We wanted to take a moment to say thank you and farewell to Bob Moog, the godfather of the modern synthesizer and a great man. Not only did you engineer and create groundbreaking instruments that inspired many a musician the world over, but your ideals and lectures about electronic music have also had a lasting effect on many of us. Rest in peace, my friend. We will never forget you.
