Labels that highlight the best of the genre balancing innovation and strong technical mastery of the limitations inherent on chip platforms.

  • Left – minusbaby

    8BP101minusbaby ups the ante with this new release, out on 8bitpeoples. From the website:

    Once again, minusbaby has shown us the proto-urban; an audio space where an imaginary city is built in the mind’s eye from the rawest materials and yet still seems to be polished and eternal. Please, enjoy, as I do, the reductive/constructive paradox which is minusbaby’s perpetual rhythm machine and sip and nibble from one of the most inconspicuously nuanced suppers ever to disguise itself as a snack. Simplicity was never so deceptive.

    I received a copy of this and its probably the best produced collection of chipmusic live tracks you’ll ever want to own. The quality of music, sounds, and packaging makes it well worth the $15, so grab it today!

    You can preview this on Bandcamp and purchase it digitally with four free tracks. If you want a phsyical cd, you can hit it up via 8bitpeoples

    Official Blip Festival 2008 live performance double-CD compilation. Produced by 2 Player Productions, and featuring one track from each of the festival’s 32 musical performers. Professionally recorded, mixed, and mastered; the phenomenon of live chipmusic has never before been so pristinely captured.

  • ‘Summertunes’ out on UBIKTUNE

    ubiktune010After spring comes summer…

    Another top notch compilation from Ubiktune, with 11 tracks by 12 different artists (yes, one collaborative track) made with various platforms.

    In the end of summer Ubiktune’s forces have gathered together to play the last summer songs of this year.

  • Buskerdroid – Mnemonic Backup

    bkddSummer is here, and in my opinion sometimes there’s nothing like a high-octane, high-NRG fist pumping soundtrack to get you going, and Italy’s Buskerdroid (or BKDD to his mates) certainly provides that! The feet-blisteringly forceful LSDJ dance chaos mastery is not to be dismissed, as storming opener “Stregatto” demonstrates!

  • Chalices Of The Past – LGPT1CH

    kr031 - COTP - Art-LGPT1CH

    For some reason August seems like a nice month for artisanal piggy glitchtechfunk, all lovingly hand crafted in one channel using LGPT. Oh, and we had a nice sunny warm day today in England for a pissy change.
