just finished my entry! working with such a small file limit was challenging. really had to minimize a lot of samples haha.

good luck everyone!

kplecraft has a lot of stuff that seems psytrance inspired.

super sick! i'm glad to see radio graffiti back in action.

fuck a hot dog

where the za at?

If you know guitar, you might enjoy artists like Norrin Radd or Heosphoros. Both make metal-inspired NES music. Very different from what you linked, but hey, you might enjoy it. Also if you like demoscene-styled stuff check out zabutom, coda, and joule. Another worthy mention would be Maxo whose music is very good and very unique in my opinion.

The great thing about chip stuff is that is varies between many genres and (at least with modules) you can open them up in a tracker and meticulously pick them apart and see how your favorite artists write their stuff.

Also don't feel the need to get familiar with LSDJ, Famitracker, or Deflemask. If you want to write stuff like malmen or cerror check out OpenMPT or Milkytracker. Don't be afraid to try new things or experiment with music.

You do know there's a music section, right? You can upload songs there instead of opening wasteful threads like this.

For 4-track tape recorders, I'd definitely look out for stuff like Tascam Portastudios, Fostex decks, and Yamaha decks. Tascams have gone up in price over the past few years (used to go for $20 all the time, but anymore $70-$100 is average). Not as many people are looking for Fostex or Yamaha so those tend to be a little cheaper.

As chunter mentioned, if you want nicer recordings go with a hi-fi unit. But if you're into that shitty lo-fi sound a cheapo 4-track will pull that off fine. I'm probably gonna try and find a 4-track one of these days just to overdub tracks with, maybe for droney tape loops, too.
