No, I mean kids rip offing crystal castles style. Every upbeat sliced vocals song you hear around (kap bambino, you love her cos shes dead, any hipster from Austin, Tx) gets shit from "real" chiptuners, yet this guy takes advance from 16 bit nostalgia and its all fun and smiles.
For the record, the song is not bad for lamestep.
Oh I know nothing about that. Maybe the fact you have to put real in quotation marks says something.

lol guys there are a lot of songs like this.. they just don't have fancy nerd-friendly music videos.
Xilent is certainly within the realm of sell-out dubstep artists

Personally thought the parts that weren't chip were lame. I couldn't produce like that, but I'm sure he could have come up with more of a contrast. Like chip chip chip chip DROP chip chip instead of chip chip drip chip chip

Why the Skrillex drums again?
drums don't get better than Skrillex drums. We've reached the apex of ideal drum samples, everything else is just weird now.

Kap Bambino is rad.
Of course they were.
And Crystal Castles.
But thats a different topic.
I dont like this song that much. And I dont get why nobody is shiteing on him and all. But dont feed me, I feel kinda trollish when I say this stuff and all.

ok finally just watched.. and i dont care what anyone says.. chiptune fakebit cheater nes shannananinangas.. who cares because that track is awesome... sweet production all around, audio/video.... he's almost on that KOAN SOUND vibe.. similar bass styles.. that track is ok in my book and the mix is mint.
But remember, tracks like that aren't a cakewalk to make.....AND BELIEVE ME I HAVE TRIED MANY TIMES AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT ALL THESE MEGA BIG PRODUCERS ARE DOING .....

i cant say i know any of the artists youre talking about so i cant really say why they may or may not get shit from people (or even if they do or its just a perceived us vs. them thing as happens so often in this scene)
