About this site

SpeshFX is an independent publication launched in January 2023 by Tani Levitt.

SpeshFX tells the story of beatboxing, from Boots 'n' Cats to Lip Rolls. It takes you along the journey from discovery to obsession, and deep into the beatboxing community. Hear from world champion beatboxers, national champion beatboxers, beatbox community leaders, beatboxers' moms, and more. If it's beatboxing, SpeshFX has got it, and now is the time to check it out. 

SpeshFX began in 2019 as a narrative podcast. When Tani first started following beatbox he looked for someone to explain to him who are the major players, which events matter most, which sounds are unique and which are copies. Nobody, however, was making that content. Into that void, Tani inserted SpeshFX, a podcast that takes listeners into the beatbox world.

Upon release, SpeshFX was included on Apple Podcasts’ New and Noteworthy lists for Music, Arts, and Performing Arts.

Tani then built on the podcast, reporting on the beatbox world in writing. He build the second iteration of SpeshFX, a newsletter with original reporting and analysis of the beatbox world by the only beatbox journalist around.

Stories include profiles, event recaps from Tani, investigations, and other unique features exploring the nitty-gritty of beatbox.
