Hello team, good to be back in the saddle providing new music links and links to great music already released. It has been awhile since I did my last installment of our famous Beats and Pieces segment but with the amount of music we have received over the last few weeks I needed to. I […]

Beats & Pieces Volume 1 2016 Edition
Hello all, All of us at Shadowboxing.org have been extremely busy as of late but fear not my friends. I have compiled our first B/P of the year and present it to you in all its magnificent glory. LOTS and LOTS of great music to check out, dance to, and be inspired by. I am […]
Beats & Pieces – Bungle – Alone EP
**Editor’s Note: Adrian Scientia wrote this piece, but his precious Macbook suffered a long and painful death, so I’ve stepped in to post it for him. The words are his own. Bungle delivers an incredible release, The Alone EP, on Doc Scott’s 31 Recordings imprint, which has proven to be unstoppable since its “relaunch” in […]
Chorux – Polaris EP – Warm Communications
**Editor’s Note: I asked my long time friend and fellow Texan, Bitter White Guy, to step in and write up the newest Warm Communications’ release. He’s the owner/operator of the techno label, Sonic Convergence, a long time drum & bass fan, and a former dabbler in the devil’s music…trance. If you enjoy a bit of […]
A little Xtrah time

Greetings readers, Chris here and for my first Shadowboxing assignment I was fortunate enough to be able to quiz Xtrah, UK based DJ, Producer and head honcho of Cyberfunk Recordings. I wanted to understand a little about him, his music tastes and what drove him to want to start his own label. Chris: A few […]
Beats & Pieces Vol 32
I haven’t gone in on a B&P in awhile, so allow me to write some words about some music that’s either available now or out soon. Mako – Do You Feel The Same – Warm Communications – OUT NOW The A side, Do You Feel The Same? gives us some nice, dark, moody atmospherics before […]
DRS – Mid Mic Crisis
MC DRS’ second full length EP, Mid Mic Crisis, just dropped on Marcus Intalex’s Soul:R HERE and I am fucking stoked! I am a full-on, unapologetic MC DRS evangelist. I’ve supported every project he’s been a part of because 1. they’re great and 2. he works his ass off for his craft. It isn’t hyperbole […]
Fre4knc – Dispatch Records Label Mix – March 2014
Everywhere I turn, I keep seeing Fre4knc’s moniker! He is alllll over the place these days. He’s got bits coming out on Melbourne-based Plasma Audio, last year’s Tellurian EP on Samurai Music, and Oxide with Amoss on Dispatch. The latter release is the one we’re concerned with since it’s the next one up and is […]
TOTD – Boston – Catch Your Breath
Boston, a young Welsh producer and not a Southie from Mass, helms the 20th release on Break’s Symmetry Recordings. It’s a turn of styles for the imprint as there’s a decidedly mellower texture on both tracks. The A-side, and my tune of the day, is Catch Your Breath. Bostom kicks it off with a two-step […]
15 Years of Technique
Technique Recordings, the brainchild of Drumsound and Bassline Smith, has just turned over the label’s 15th year and that means a pretty extensive compilation release. Featuring productions from themselves, Trei, L PLUS, Erb N Dub, Trantrum Desire, and Crissy Cris tossing out a pretty impressive lineup of big room tunes. Personal favorites are the label […]
