Listen to the song "Planets + Stars"
Booomboxxx, is an experimental pop record loaded with unique turntable textures, saxophone blasts, expertly chopped break beats, and gutsy vocals. Although the record effectively mashes together several musical forms, it is Ragel’s most cohesive and dark work to date. On this record he uses the samples from "Bridgetown Breaks", a compilation of various breakbeats from up and coming Portland drummers including Kevin O'Connor (Talkdemonic), Danny Seim (Menomena) and others.

Boy Eats Drum Machine is a singular figure of the West. He does things his own way, thank you very much, and does those things well enough to run his own one-man gang. Sometimes his voice is low and dry like the great Oregon deserts. Other times it resonates warmly, as though reflecting off the hills. He’s a turntablist’s turntablist, robbing breaks and sound textures from vinyl even after most of his contemporaries switched to laptops. He often mixes together twangy guitars, soulful blasts of tenor saxophone, and bassy, soundtrack worthy, analog synth. He’s an artist-outlaw.
