Boy Eats Drum Machine

Boy Eats Drum Machine is native Portlander, Jon Ragel. As a turntablist and energetic one-man musical act, Ragel spins breaks and surgically inserts sounds while juggling vocals, percussion, and saxophone.Ragel started to make recordings under the name Boy Eats Drum Machine in 2001 when he used a 4 track to record and load his MPC with scads of samples, creating blippy pop experimentations. He wanted to evoke the idea of pac man and the music of the NES game metroid. He sold his mpc and switched exclusively to computer-based recordings a couple years later.
