Goto 80 interview pt 1
Ed: Lazerbeat provides another interview with musican/organizer/chiptheologian Goto80. Part I talks about Goto80’s background, his setup, and the futurepast of trackersoft.
LB – On your blog you mention your first release was “HARDCORETECHNO3” under the name “Polaxe” for the “Mayday – a Day in May” Demo which you wrote aged 12 on the Amiga. The release is dated on Pouet as 1993. How long had you been writing for at that time?
GT80 – Not for long, maybe a year or so.
LB – Do you recall the tracker you used? Was the Amiga your first machine?
GT80 – Me and my brother bought a Commodore 64 first, for gaming, and then got the Amiga500 and my brother showed me Noisetracker and gone were the days of gaming! Rather soon I moved on to Protracker and had a go with Startrekker and Audiosculpture as well as OctaMed to sequence my brother’s synthesizers. So my start was pretty much about samples and hardcore techno!
LB – Did you have any formal music training before this?
GT80 – Nope!

Meneo I KNOW BASIC EP
And the drought ends.. WITH HOT MENEO TRACKS.
From 8bit …..to…… supatit!
Our track BASIC has evolved into more than a gameboy track, grapping moments that picture influences from lo-fi electro to raggamuffin’ vocals and into acid techno.
With hand picked collaborations, we start with the massive bass London posse TOMB CREW, who we met at a Plat du Jour party here in Barcelona! They drop some latin reggaeton percusions and dancehall rhymes along an amazing rusty acapella from Voltaire’s Clek Clek Boom.
Also, we’re proud to feature a remix from Deadbots, a Berlin-via-Dublin bastard duo with blazing distorted melodies that make your heart pound like fat bastard: thx Paul & Nina. Enjoy now!
