Innovative, soulful, spiritual and eclectic all describe the musical productions of Psychostasia Recordings. This independent and Detroit-based record label embraces many forms of musical expressions: deep house, drum and bass,funk, soul, hip hop, and Detroit-style techno. Psychostasia Recordings does not concern itself with one particular genre of music. Categorizing and defining this music, can only hinder creative expression from a label that connects with a global or world approach to its music. If the music we create touches our spirit, and ultimately brings postive vibrations to our soul, then we put it out into the universe for others to appreciate and experience.
 

 

Reggie Dokes began his love affair with electronic music when he was in the ninth grade. Being intensely influenced by local legendary DJs like Ken Collier and experiences at Detroit's Music Institute, Reggie began playing at basement and backyard parties at the age of 15. With the assistance of Cybersoul T.G.E, a promotional group, Reggie was given the opportunity to share his eclectic musical vision with masses of people. He landed a guest residency at one of Canada's top house clubs, The Amsterdam. During this residency, Reggie met and befriended legendary electronic music producer Derrick May. Subsequently, May took Reggie under his wing and began to mentor him as a DJ. As a result of this relationship, Reggie became the resident DJ for Derrick May's label "Transmat". This illustrious position gave Reggie even more exposure to worldwide audiences as he played parties around the world with other DJs and producers such as Ron Trent, Kevin Saunderson, Theo Parrish, and Kevin Yost. In keeping with Reggie's love for music, he eventually turned his sights to producing. He began his own imprint, Psychostasia Recordings, which has received worldwide acclaim for its visionary and eclectic sound. Even with one full length album and eight releases to his credit, he has managed to record for other labels: Transmat Records; Time and Space 2 Compilation, the Movement Festival compilation (the official CD of the Detroit Electronic Festival) and Forward Thought Music, newly formed by electronic artist Louis Harman. Reggie has done remixes that have been released on Third Ear Recordings, a UK based label. More recently, Reggie has partnered with fellow Detroit producer and DJ Pirahnahead to produce and record under the name "Napi Hedz". With a remix project that is getting exceptional reviews and several other greatly anticipated releases to follow, "Napi Hedz" are proving themselves worthy of all successes they are certain to encounter. Reggie's vision, as both a DJ and producer insures that there are nothing but bigger and better things to come in his future.
