After making a very impressive first appearance on Pxl-Bot with his track 'Impact' on our recent 'One Year Later' compilation'. Auxcide returns, this time brandishing his simply amazing debut album 'Of Atoms And Stardust'.

Using two Gameboy SPs, Auxcide manages to craft images of immense and epic landscapes. Each track telling a story. Ensnaring you with their beautifully written melodies then carrying you further into the music with their brilliantly programmed drums and dance move inducing bass lines. Each and every track reeks of individual character while still maintaining a consistency and fluidity throughout where one song flows perfectly into another, to better show off this effect Auxicde has included a 'set' in which the whole album has been mixed together to form one continuous epic tale. Delaying listening to this album any longer could have severe health risks, so what are you waiting for?

Tracklist:

0. of Atoms and Stardust [Set]
1. New Cosmos
2. Aphelion
3. Nebula
4. Helios (Sun)
5. Selene (Moon)
6. Eos (Dawn)
7. Ellipse
8. Perihelion

Also includes LSDJ savs as an added bonus!

Each track however fits together with one another to form a much larger tale which takes you far out into an amazing journey. This saga is truly a testament to the skills of Spaceman Fantastiques.

Another Pxl-Bot debut, this time from the extremely talented Whitely. Crafted in the fires of Mount Doom this EP draws upon different genres of electronic music to show and tell its story.

Starting with the beautifully melodic 'At first i was lonely, but then..' it draws you into this story that is being told and holds you tight. Each track is full of emotion, the songs seem to reach inside you, communicating at a personal level. Half way through you reach "I started to care to much, but it was still..' drawn in my at atmospheric start, building up, you know somethings coming, then it drops, and suddenly something you thought couldn't get better, got better. Finally 'The end.' rounds it all off beautifully brining all the emotions of the story to its climax and leaving the listener thoroughly satisfied with the tale that has just unfolded before their eyes.

The EP does cost a small amount, however you get a lot for your money. Not only do you get the full EP but you also get 3 bonus songs, alternate artwork and LSDJ tips! Definitely worth it! However if you do not have the money to spare, each track is available as pay what you want individually.

Tracklist:

1. At first i was lonely, but then..
2. I found you, but..
3. I started to care to much, but it was still..
4. You & I forever, until finally it was
5. The end.

AlexOgre's debut album here on Pxl-Bot is nothing short but brilliant and we are very pleased to be releasing it.

Starting off with Foam, a track which manages to conjure up memories and thoughts of sunny days walking along sandy beaches, the waves lapping at your toes and gulls flying overhead. It introduces you to the rest of the album almost gently before the floor filling, fist pumping, dance hits you and there is nothing you can do to help yourself from moving along with the beat. Finally as if yo give you a rest from dancing, the final track farewell is more chilled, it eases you out while still upholding a awesomely high level of quality. This is definitely worth a listen!


Tracklist:

1. Foam
2. Bhavana
3. Live Up
4. Scary Past (With Intro)
5. Slow Walking..
6. Glowing In The Dark
7. Farewell

NAMELESS, a never before heard musician uploaded a song called DEBUT to 8bitcollective recently. The textures were so rich, so full. One could quite obviously see the potential. Pxl-Bot contacted him and asked for an album to see where it would go.

And oh boy, did it go. This 4 track album is a bone-jarring rip-roar of a musical adventure, taking you through sharp rhythms and rough-as-all-heck synths. Throughout the whole time you listen to this album, your mind gets ripped in half and put back together numerous times as you try to comprehend how dirty this kid can make LSDJ sound.

You should totally download this album and get punched in the face with each of the free mp3s. It's worth it!

Tracklist:

1. DEBUT
2. UNDERGROUND
3. LOST BOY
4. FIN

This fantastic release by Roboctopus has been brought to you by the newest member of the Pxl-Bot team, Frostbyte. So we will leave it to him to tell you all about this simply astonishing release, here is what he had to say:

Soft and gentle... intriguing and building, Swelling, massive and thick. These were all the words and phrases that came to my mind as my latest unreleased Roboctopus CD stared to spin in my stereo. Then the kick dropped in, and everything seemed to fall into place in what would become a wonderfully executed album. The snare came after, reassuring me about my previous assumptions. It was as if Roboctopus were right here with me, patting himself ont he back, looking at his music flow past, proud as ever.

Tracklist:

1. The Belt Of Venus
2. Virga
3. Falling Down The Stairs, Relaxing At The Bottom
4. Asleep On The Landing
5. Overnight To Many Distant Moons

This looks sexy, love the look of the game's graphics and love the idea. As for whether to include enemies or not, i think that you should, but only as a minor inconvenience, like you have to avoid rather than kill. So that they aren't a major feature of the game but still add an extra element of gameplay to it. Seriously cant wait to play it though smile
