In only 3 years, Je deviens dj en 3 jours became one of the cutest
nowadays chiptune artists by drawing unique waveforms on the Nanoloop

//CREAM IN ALL MOUSTACHE//
Why chose Cream in all Moustache as a name? Because having a Moustache
in 2010 is criminal... and when you eat Creamy things you put some all
over your Moustache, and it looks Gay! I like it! That's the reason
why I am the Cream in all Moustache.

//KRIS KEYSER//
Over the years, Kris Keyser has picked up and discarded the piano, saxophone, guitar, drums, bass, and didgeridoo, learning all but casting each aside in favor of the next. Finally settling on the Game Boy as his weapon of choice, he has built and refined an arsenal of tracks that run the gamut from energetic and fun to spacey, foreboding, and massive. High-energy in both performance and composition, Kris Keyser is known to transform passive listeners into active participants in his notoriously sweat-drenched live shows.

//ZOMBECTRO//
When he was a child, video games were too expensive for him, he felt frustrated and angry, growing up with an intense bitterness! Now, he wants his revenge and the software Nanoloop 1.3 unleashes his true evil power! Combining the gayness of Techno-Dance with Heavy Metal, Zombectro's music is a brutal incantation against the whole world. To cap it all, he worships excessive kitsch and retrofuturistic horse riding! The retro-dark-burlesque is born!
