Truth or Consequences, NM – A sonic artifact from early laptop music production is about to surface. In 2003, under the moniker DOPEKITTY, an anonymous artist crafted a 16-track techno album using a new laptop and a used copy of MTV Music Generator. Born from personal upheaval and technological exploration, this collection has remained shrouded in mystery for two decades. The second and title track, “On the Move,” will be released on March 21st, 2025, on all major streaming platforms.
DOPEKITTY describes the album’s creation as a cathartic escape during a period of profound personal change. “It was a time of intense personal transformation,” DOPEKITTY shared. “The music became my sanctuary, a way to navigate the unknown. Technical proficiency was secondary; the drive to create, explore, and escape was paramount.” The album, a testament to early laptop-based composition, reveals a raw, experimental approach to techno.
Built around MTV Music Generator’s looping software program by Jester Interactive, the tracks possess a unique sonic signature, reflecting the era’s technology. “This album is a time capsule,” DOPEKITTY explained.
“It’s a reminder of music production’s evolution, and the enduring power of artistic expression, even with limited tools.” After decades of dormancy, each track of the 16-song album will be released monthly.
“Technojunk” was released on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and all major streaming platforms on February 21st, 2025. Listeners are invited into DOPEKITTY’s enigmatic world to experience the sounds of a forgotten era in electronic music—a personal journey translated into a compelling artistic statement.
