8bit Peoples are very selective with their musical choices, and you're relatively under heard of. You've also only released two tracks, is this correct? Generally labels, of any kind, look for something more than two tracks.

Your music should take precedence over getting recognition from one of the most respected 8bit net labels.

So, basically, no I don't think you can join 8bitpeoples, but you might someday if you write more and build a fanbase. The market is over-saturated with netlabels, and I don't think they serve much purpose other than circle-jerking. If your music is good, people will listen to it.

1.This is my FanBase (i had about 20 tracks on my youtube channel with more than 50.000 views but i removed all of them so the only thing i have now is my facebook page full of my people) http://www.facebook.com/warezofficial
2.No i have more than 8 tracks for release a full album but i don't upload anything until i choose a label to release (only clips)
3.So i can't release my tracks using an Chiptune Label?
4.Thanks for reply

I think Mr Shallow is right in assuming 8bitpeoples won't take you on, but that doesn't mean no labels will. Just look around and send some demos out. Good places to start looking include: 8081, noisechannel, DMG Control.

^^^^^^ I agree. I think looking at cm.org threads and taking the pessimism present as representative of the entire chip community is unfair. The nice ones of us are too busy hugging to type.

PS @Matej, wtf are you doing?

Hey! Me and Alex Kelly (and MikeTV is he's bunking with me again) will be up in Manchester from the 12th to the 15th around the festival, so can any locals or previous visitors of the city suggest any hostels to hole up in?
Last years suggestion for Liverpool hosteling (from AdamGetsAwesome via CDK I think?) was fantastic, I forgot to thank you for that!
Cheers in advance

Okay, this cesspit of hatred has got to be calmed AGAIN. Seriously, did everyone regress to being 14 again this last week?

}~~Let's say some times when we felt loved by the chip community~~{

I felt loved when I released an album to get money to wash my clothes and people gave me money to wash my clothes.

I still buy CDs simply because they're often the cheapest option - I'm in a phase of my life where a lot of the CDs I buy are older releases that I heard earlier on in my life and only now am getting around to purchasing - On Amazon marketplace or in HMV pre-owned, these CDs are a couple of quid each - if I wanted to download them they'd be 6 or 7 quid each.

I also like physical artwork - if there's a special edition or any kind of cool art, I'd prefer to see it printed than on a screen.

I also like different listening experiences - so for example, I bought an MP3 of Skrillex's Bangarang to listen to on my Shuffle in the Gym - never am I going to want to listen to that when I'm not working out. The same week I bought the Dead Weather's Horehound on CD - It's a great driving album, and I'll probably lend it to a few friends that like to discover new music through me. The same week I bought Foal's Holy Fire on vinyl. That is an album I never want to waste on the gym, or earbuds, or car stereos. That is an album I want to purposefully decide to listen to, make myself a cuppa, sit down, drop the needle and only move to turn it over - concentrate on the music, and let it permeate me.

Feel free to email me if you have more questions.

Cheers! You'll be hearing from me shortly smile

I'm writing a piece on the decrease in CD sales and questioning its future, and I'd like to interview someone who often buys CDs still! Preferably one British person and another from abroad, but we'll see how it goes. If you're interested or know someone who would be, gimme a shout please!! (PS, interview will be conducted over email).
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I still do, quite a lot, but since I moved to a city, where there is only one second hand CD shop for MILES, I tend to do most of my CD shopping online. Though in my experience, shopping on amazon hasn't lost the 'browse-factor' (wherein I'd go into a shop, look through CDs and buy something cheap I'd never heard of just to see what it was like, which has led me to discover some of my favourite bands). What about you lot? Opinions on CDs over other formats?

The game looks fucking sick! I'd offer my services by I'm lacking severely on the time front, good luck though!


I was skint. Also I hadn't released anything in a long time. As such, I thought I'd release this collection of unreleased, demo, compilation and 'otherproject' tracks in a bid to gather a bit of spare change so I can wash my clothes. (This isn't a joke)
It'll be available for 2 weeks ONLY (this isn't a 'legit release').
Inside the download is a bonus track, a .txt explaining each track, some wallpapers and some bonus art. If you donate money, and want me to draw you a pretty picture, send me a word in the notes and I'll draw one around that.
***This isn't just a ploy for money, I'd like to get these tracks out there, take it tongue-in-cheek!***
Get it here.

Tracklist:
1. Epistemology
2. ru$$ia
3. krrrrrrrr0 [feat. spaceaser]
4. $dub
5. 0000wyrm
6. vanillashake [feat. spaceaser]
7. The End
8. windysea
9. Bearclaw
10. roazrosewoaz [feat. spaceaser]
