chiptune is similar as we can know its a fusion between electro and, most of the time or in my case, dance music but we can explain it in one word because of its defining sound.

hardly. i've heard dubstep and rock made with gameboys (two magnificently differing genres), post-rock and dance music made with nintendos, heavy industrial made with an amiga... shall i go on? i agree chiptune is a good catch-all phrase for music made with old sound chips. however:

chiptune: a set of tools, not a genre. a sound chip is a synthesizer. end of story. synthesizers get used for all sorts of different genres. if you took the time to listen to the vast amounts of well-made chip music out there, you'd realize this.

also, i just wanna leave this karl wisdom here again.

that show ruled. we're lucky to have a local vj (http://www.facebook.com/PLZfollow) accompany us at almost all of our shows.

hope you guys enjoy the video. it was fun putting it all together.  for the first time, we had three cameras going and did a full pro tools rig on stage for a proper multi track recording.
