I come from a modest sized online community of 8 bit reggae producers and I wondered if anyone here knew of anyone who has made chip tune in a reggae fashion? Maybe they didnt know there were many others doing it? There has recently been a book written and released about the creolization of it too.
here is the 8 bit reggae facebook group

Or maybe some of you would now be interested in giving it a go?

yeah i have an album coming out on Renegade Masters with these guys this year! Lovely people great riddims. check out all the music videos I made for them too
If there really is a modest group of you guys, then have someone cover this:
that is one hard song to translate into 8 bit! its so beautifully acoustic !
totally forgot about the flash player!
http://jahtari.org/player/lofi/Jahtari_ … isten.html
supposedly the whole catalog is on there
Yeah jahtari were the first (and pretty much only) label doing dedicated 8 bit reggae stuffs. I remember when I firstfound them after making a bunch of electric reggae myself, i was quite taken back, and bought their entire CD catalogue at the time !
lol i did the exact same thing haha
for anyone else who may not know....
jahtari. check it.
I just put out a (japanese) reggae-ish release on metro dub bandcamp

And a live set of mine from last weekend:
jahtari. check it.
most definitaly will!!
thanks folks
It's a little weird how different scenes the 8-bit reggae and chipmusic are. Many of those reggae tracks use sounds and tricks that are considered as gimmicks in chipmusic, but that can't be the reason for such a diversion
expand? whats a gimmick in chip music?
I think a lot of 8 bit reggae is done with samples or synths like chipsounds instead of hardware
