Time to Get Obscure Comp
I was planning a similar cover for my Lydian Mode Only comp. Another “high concept” comp from the gents at 8BC, this time focusing on non4/4 time signatures. More info:
Took 2 days and 1.5 hours longer than I wanted, but it’s here! A big thanks to everyone who participated!!
All of these tracks are either in time signatures that are not commonly used or use commonly used time signatures layered with others. An interesting thing to do when most trackers try to force you into straight 4/4. ^_^
Lots of cool artists on this, so worth a checkout.

This Week at the Collective IV – Back in the Habbit
Welcome to another edition of “This week at the collective IV – part 4”. I have to say, based on listening to about 160 songs this week, about 150 of which were NL 1.3 and LSDJ 3.7.5 (update?) i have decided that after this week, i am not going to listen to any more gameboy songs, unless they were done in gameboy MML.That being said, this week is set up based on audio technology lines. Get on your lines, and insert your audio technology! HERE — WE — GO!

This week at the Collective I
For the Week of 10/20-10/27
Lets try out a new feature picking five tracks that grabbed our attention over here at TCTD from the 8BITCollective. Here they are in no praticular order.
“Space Race (adlib)” by oxygenstar
Another great track from the recent spike in fm based tracks on the collective, the track is a mindblowing melange of sound design, driving rhythmic elements and great melodic elements. Cheers to the fm revival!.
Bud takes a terrible 8BC trend, the posting of ill advised and poorly made “my first tracks” and knocks it out of the park here with his janky but pretty tune evoking a quiet day in a Lewis Carroll garden.
“From the Ghetto with Love” by Crazy Q
Another ringer, this old but new to 8BC track is classic Crazy Q. Fat bass lines, and dancing arps mangy stay firmly on the awesome side of the fruity euro chipstyle.
“Lock” by Dise-a.g.m
Dise-a.g.m. has been making songs I like for a while, so its good to seem him get props for this solid track. Stick around for the back half for an accomplished take on the endless chip solo style.
“Ottomania” by Broomlinde
Boomlinde brings this infectiously fun track with its gypsy tech beats and claps. Perhaps the biggest knock you can justify on 8bc is a lack of diversity so special note must be made of those who both create great tracks which are ass kicking AND unique sounding.
So that was easy huh? With over 160 tracks release in a week it was pretty tough getting down to just five, so please post any ones I might’ve missed in the comments. See you next week!
