Comin’ hardcore with sounds from another planet, Deadly Venomz presents us with the ‘Destination Mars’ release. He’s no newcomer to the scene though. The man behind this music, Mattski, is a local veteran in the San Francisco Bay Area with many years of DJ’ing and production under his belt. He always brings the sonic mayhem when it comes to Techno, and these four tracks do exactly that. So put your spacesuit on, step into the airlock and prepare for a sonic onslaught from out of this world.

Lady Blacktronika got her start in music making in 1997 right here in San Jose with help and guidance from local veteran Mattski (aka Deadly Venomz). Since then she has moved to Oakland, and now produces some seriously emotive Beatdown sounds and Deep House. But she has also always been into Techno…the real bangin’ stuff. It just so happens that she made a handful of some real way-out sonic gems that we couldn’t help but release on DoBox. This release has been a long time coming, and we are excited to let the rest of the world hear these sounds. Get ready to move because you’re not gonna be able to help yourself.

Once again we present another healthy slice of dancefloor goodness from Jemset in the form of the Circulation EP. He’s been patiently waiting to drop another release here on DoBox, and we’re glad to say that now is the time. Four tracks of heady thump make up this great release, and best heard played through a large set of loudspeakers…loudly. So get those bits and pump it up!

‘NHT’ (Normal Heights Techno) is the latest episode of sonic ruckus brought to you this time by Keckclip. The San Diego-based producer is no newcomer to the game, and it shows in his music. All 4 tracks of this release are overflowing with chunky beats and dense textural elements that take your mind and body to another world. So put on your dancing shoes and zip up your spacesuit because it’s time to go!

Ladies and gentlemen, we are very happy to announce the long awaited return of Qorser who brings us a sizzling new release to start off the new year and a new decade. Although the theme of ‘Sol Goes Nova’ is about the imminent destruction of our beloved sun sometime in the very distant future, the sounds of these five tracks will keep your spirits up and your body moving. If there were a dancefloor in outer space, these beats would be what should be pumping out of the speakers. We invite you all to come and download yourself a healthy dose of other-worldly funk.

Improvisation is something that many electronic dance music musicians strive to be able to do. Steve Cooley has achieved this ability with the help of the device he built called Beatseqr, and he puts it to the test for this 4-tracker release. Created essentially from scratch with almost no preparation, you actually hear him build each one up beat by beat. A good set of sounds and an knack for box-bangin’ is all Steve had to go on. I’m sure you’ll agree that he’s got a technique that’s definitely doing good things. Download and enjoy!

And just so you know, that circuit board on the artwork was used to build version 3 of Beatseqr.

Just like the Rhodes piano, the Hammond organ and the Stratocaster guitar left their mark forever in the world of musicmakers, so did the Roland TR-909 drum machine. The successor to the also classic TR-808, the TR-909 can be heard in a large number of electronic dance music tracks created over the last 25 years. Its sound is unique, classic and often imitated by many other hardware devices and sound-generating software. On this appropriate day in history…09.09.09 (September 9th, 2009), we commemorate this legendary machine by presenting to you these seven tracks laden with 909 sounds or very inspired by them. Celebrate with us by downloading this release, loading it into your favorite player, and as we like to say….BANG IT!!

The Rhythmist – ‘Darling’
Qorser – ‘Carbonated 909′
Lucas Rodenbush – ’789′
El Gato #9 – ‘The Number 9′
Lucas Rodenbush – ‘Timing Is Everything’
Qorser – ‘bdsdltmthtrshcchohcr’
The Rhythmist – ‘Percussion Storm’

After a bit of a hiatus, DoBox is back in action! We won’t get into details of that, but what we will get into is a great new release from Midwest Techno outfit, Gansermusik. This release delivers four of slew of great tracks we received as a demo, and we could help ourselves but share them. We hope to get more beats from Gansermusik which we will be sure to share as well. For now, enjoy these unique, open and spacey grooves. Turn it up…it’s time for a trip!

We’ve all been anxiously waiting to hear from Steve Cooley again, and he’s found some time between a full-time job and being a new dad to present us with his new release, ‘Imprecision’. Six tracks of neck-rockin’ beats that will no doubt have the dancefloor rockin’ too. He even had time to make the laser-cut acrylic artwork that graces the artwork (which he designed) for this release. So you can’t say the man hasn’t been busy.

This is also our first ever pay download release. Don’t worry…we will still have free releases available, but this release has that extra ‘umph’ that we think is worth some of that change in your pocket. We hope you’ll think so too.

We’re a little late on this, but there is actually a correction for the excellent mix by DJ L’embrouille. The mix we posted is missing about twenty minutes of beats! So…here’s the correct mix and updated tracklist. Once again, enjoy!
