Ready for some Chip-Bass? We start the year 2011 with the debut release on BLEEPSTREET by 486 also known as the486kid.
486 is a true inspiration in the current Chipstep sound. His music is inspired by the early 90's Scandinavian Demoscene and developed through travelling with Technomadic Sound systems of the wild woods of Cascadia.
“4bit 4reedom” is the EP that brings us 10 years of research and production of pure digital soundwaves generated from hardware soundchips or samples recorded live through mid-90's sound cards. After all this time he has come out of his cave and ready to share his dedication for Dub and Lo-tech music.
The 4-track EP, features a selection of tracks from 486's Nintendub sessions(2010). The EP was produced entirely in a solar powered mobile studio using a combination of vintage Samplers, Atari computers and modified NES consoles to get the ultimate Squarewave Chip-Bass experience.
The EP begins with “Independent Dub”, a trip through a fluid and wobbly chipstep tune that pushes digital-bass programming skills into the next level. Following in the mix we get to “Gangstahz” a true GhettoChipDubFunk styled track that will bring the bad boys to the front row. More wobbly bass and chipstep sound for the DJ with “SQR Dub”. The impression you get is that the tracks flow freely and sweetly into one another, giving a lasting chilled vibe that concludes with “2A03 Dub” a landscape of dreamy and hypnotic chip-dub.
