After talking briefly with Computadora and mainly because I wanted, I made a mixtape to promote around Bleepstreet Records. Computadora also says I am the A&R of the label now :P

I made this mixtape showcasing some music from artists of its roster, current and future, and others who are not, based on what to me should be the sound of a Bleepstreet dancefloor!! This is not totally about chip, this is about ass-kicking data beats to shake your butt around, even if you are a cheaptoon nerd or a piping hot gurrl.

The Weekly Demo

Tristar & Red Sector Inc. & Ate Bit – Vuvuzelatro (2010)

By 8GB, on June 23rd, 2010

World Cup craze had to arrive to TCTD.

4mat posted this some days ago and fortunately someone made a little intro with it!
Before you think this post is bullshit, you should realize the complexity of replicating such an analog and “human” sound like that of the vuvuzela with a synth like the SID chip. 4mat is a true master of the SID! And the whole intro is only 4KB. Nice Hires graphic too.

The sound of the video is a bit weird. Here you can listen to the original post by 4mat

I will not say “enjoy this demo” this time XD
