New York is without a doubt the epicenter of modern chipmusic, because there is a dedicated team of people who (in most cases are musicians also), take on the promotion/organizational roles that any musical scene requires.
There are little pockets of popularity elsewhere (Philadelphia has had a regular show for a while, Boston and Los Angeles have risen up recently) - the UK has seen semi-regular shows in Liverpool, London, Newcastle, and increasingly Scotland, with their Ultrachip two-day festival in Edinburgh being a big success. There's a regular gig Eindbass in Holland, as well as the odd show in Paris/Nice, France. Australia's scene has grew massively popular in the last few years, thanks to the musicians and the regular Sound Bytes show that has hosted acts from US, Japan, UK, Europe plus the variety of Aussie acts.

Whilst a few musicians appear to be working full or close to full time purely on chipmusic, this is purely a few (I can't see there being any more than 10 or so) - the sheer majority of people break even or lose money to play shows, purely for the love of the music. Money is mostly from merch, plus sales on sites via bandcamp - making money from shows is rare, but not impossible.

So back to the Rude Boy vinyl, turns out Trace Kaiser was able to get in touch with the people who pressed it and they were really nice! They are shipping copies of the record to each artist featured on the comp. I won't hold my breath... there's still a chance they could be totally lying, but I'm very happy things are going well! Maybe it won't be a bad idea to buy the record after all. You can read the 8bc thread for more details:

Personally, I'd wait until the vinyl is with the musicians before considering buying it.

So... looks like a record company has stolen an entire compilation, organised by and featuring myself, and released it on vinyl... Just to say, please don't buy this. They've done this without our permission, and we aren't receiving a penny. Trying to work something out with them...

I'd definitely AVOID buying this unless something is sorted out!

Astonishingly dirty basslines? Check. Thumping Beats? Check. Samples from all sorts of various nooks and crannies in pop culture? Check. Christmas Song? Check.

Wait, what?

Most ordinary mixes don’t have Christmas songs, but then, most mixes aren’t by Atari and axe wielding madman Gareth Morris, who celebrates his 10th year of being ‘The One They Call gwEm‘. During a short period of not being busy from touring all over the world, from London to Toyko and almost everywhere in between, or putting on his own shows, or making his own Atari music composing software maxYMiser, gwEm has managed to make this astonishing 35 minute mix of old and new music into an unforgettable dance mix, that will surely cement his position in the chipscene for at least another ten years!
