chipstep?

why?


It sounds different than traditional dubstep based on the limitations of the sound chip. If you showed it to somebody who didn't know it was made on/played off of a Gameboy or NES and called it dubstep, chances are they would think it was shitty.

Calling it chipstep leads to the question of "what the fuck is chipstep?" which then opens the door to the explanation behind it.

I guess we could all go with "Dubstep composed upon an 8bit processor" but that sounds a bit wordy, don't you think?

But, beyond my shameless self-promotion..

Orbital Strike are my buddies from Seattle who are just starting up and have an awesome spin on 8bit dubstep. The two of them, Turtlesaur, and I are working on a three-way split EP right now. All 140 BPM chipstep, all dancefloor oriented and shit like that

NoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNo is the best at it on the Gameboy as far as I'm concerned..

Mizuki's Last Chance is by far the most relevant chipstep artist.. though he does everything in DAWs and has no real chip hardware. Regardless, he embodies the 8bit sound perfectly and forms super heavy dubstep around it. He's been featured by BBC Radio 1 a few times.

Kodek has done good chipstep

I like Monodeer

USK just did a really cool new one called Tristep

Ultrasyd has a few livesets posted which include some awesome chipstep breakdowns. The rest is housey but still has those nice grimey wubs strung throughout


There are a lot of non-chip artists who are beginning to incorporate more chip-esque leads and melodies into their songs (often in the intros) as well

I make chipstep. Take the songs I have posted for an example I suppose. Newer ones I've been working on are better, though

Based upon my listening, I'd have to say that things made with the SID chip have some superior bass

WTFFFFF yall are Seattleites?? why have I not seen you live yet??? hmm

Okay I'll weigh in...

19/male/north seattle

Did college for a semester and failed.. probly gonna start that again soon. For now I work in a retail cell phone store. I'm good with phones for whatever reason but my coworkers are all super self-righteous and talk shit about the other ones on a daily basis (look at how they rub off on me). I live with 4 dudes spanning the ages of 23 - 45 in a 70s-esque house. They're all chill.

The live electronic dance music scene in Seattle takes up the majority of my weekend nights and is the center of my social calendar. I've seen a whole lot of the biggest names that bass music has to offer and continue to see more of them roughly 2-5 times a month. Yes, I go to a lot of raves and club shows. No, I don't wear stupid fucking beaded bracelets and rainbow suspenders, and I sure as hell don't have some stupid rave name. I really only go to the tours of artists whom I already like on a regular basis and the major raves every couple months.. never been too into the whole 'Unicorn BubbleFuck Dream Bash 14" styled parties. One of my roomies and a bunch of my other friends produce and are starting to get pretty good so I've been getting into a couple shows for free lately, which is nice.

Fashion has become an increasingly large interest in my life lately.. I collect a bunch of vintage basketball jerseys, retro snap-backs, Nikes, and japanese selvage denim. Because of this I stand out at the local 8bit concerts/parties.. almost everytime I'm informed that I don't look like "somebody who would ever come to one of these things," but, I kind of like that. Its fine though, because they don't judge me and I find that I relate to many of them better than I do with my "friends" that I'd grown up and gone to school with.

Mary Jane is the only consistent girl in my life. Sometimes she inspires me to make music.. most of the time she inspires me to watch the First 48 and eat cheeseburgers. Its a love/hate kind of thing.

I always try to have a lot of fun, but frequently find that I'm really having too much fun when I stop and think about it. I've often decided to get my life on track, but anxiety, a colorful social life, ADHD, and my aforementioned relationship with Ms. Jane make it really really hard to do that.


I think my life is neat.

Henry Homesweet's video for Critical Buddha is one of the most beautiful things I've watched in my entire life
