Pxl-Bot are proud to present another debut release, this time from the new and shockingly inventive talent that is Cooshinator.
Despite having only begun composition in February of this year, Cooshinator deals a hand of surprisingly strong and memorable tracks, with an almost progressive attention to song structure. Delving in the deep end with the bittersweet spits of ‘Hypocrite’, with its many twists and atmospheric turns, the self-titled EP sets itself up from an early stage to be an unforgettable ride. Featuring a wide range of styles and sounds, from the progressive minimalism of ‘Bohrs Model’ and ‘Tangent’ to the more straight-forward house offerings of ‘Motion’, all songs are then doused with some trance sensibilities to complement their epic nature.    
The melodic breaks are often truly surprisingly and incredibly emotive, for instance the shift to minor nearing the end ‘Motion’ is truly awe-inspiring, turning a house class act into a Castlevania-esque bittersweet sonnet. Moments like this really highlight the pure ambition seen throughout the entire release, and coupled with the fact that each song is over five minutes but not one feels like more than two; well it all adds up to one outstanding debut effort, and one we are extremely proud to have underneath the Pxl-Bot banner. What a way to start our next half-century of releases!!

Tracklist:
1. Hypocrite
2. Bohrs Model
3. Endless

Pxl-Bot celebrate their 50th release with a returning appearance from one of the very first artists who ever graced the Pxl-Bot roster, Ville Wannabe.
The experimental sample-based style explored in his previous EP, ‘Future’ still holds a great amount of influence as seen from the opening number, ‘Inhale’, a vocal sample with guitar overdub. However, the new, heavily dance and the gorgeously soft sounds that dominate this release show themselves from the very start of ‘Vox Stimuli’. Ville weaves his melodies with a fragile and beautiful touch, dousing the cascading chords with a playful atmosphere with heaps of character intersected with more up-tempo, sometimes guitar driven, moments throughout to add some variety to the mix. 
The sounds vary greatly through this small but eclectic EP, from the driving bass at the beginning and throughout of ‘Yes Offensive’ to the almost entirely guitar focused ‘Camomile’, all doused with the occasional but very signature sample work. ‘Vox Stimuli’ really does sound like an artist who has found a unique style and finally perfected it to a tee. This is one spectacular coming-of-age.

Tracklist:
1. Inhale
2. Vox Stimuli
3. Yes Offence
4. Camomile
5. Exhale

Having to choose a winner for the Pxl-Bot Singles Competition would have been FAR more difficult if it hadn’t been for this entry.
Bringing his fist-pumping, glitch stomping and in your face aggressive house crunches, Analog stormed the castle with his memorable and almost house-pop –esque A-side followed by his epic and twisting nearly 7 minute B-side. The crunchy melodies and beats are guaranteed to have your ass moving, and the constant shift in syncopation and driving beat will have you on your dancing toes throughout. Fused together with a definite nod towards a dance floor orientated formation, this singles’ full throttle attitude and throat-ripping aggression is bound to have you moving. All hands for the winner of the first Pxl-Bot Singles Competition, Analog.
