Wet Mango
http://www.gameboybeats.com/About.html
One half of musical duo Sonic Death Rabbit, current Los Angelino Cristina Fuentes performs solo live as Wet Mango since 2008. Her music is a mix of Freestyle, Hardcore, Hip Hop, and Drum & Bass-- effusive, experimentally electronic, and associated with the sub-genres of Chiptune and Breakcore. She uses Game Boy (Original, Color, DS), with LSDJ, Korg DS-10 to churn thick layers of dirty, broken, and heavy beats with slick melodies to create an uncategorizable amalgam of rhythmic noise.

minusbaby
http://minusbaby.com/
Richard Alexander Caraballo began his minusbaby project in 1999 to explore the diversity of a lo-fi, compositional aesthetic and has since progressed experimentally in its scope to include elements guided by those roots and a sonic language representative of his influences, namely: the art of bass and how it moves butts.

Dauragon C. Mikado
http://www.dauragon.com/
Dauragon's tunes are an exercise in low tones, high emotions and a healthy obsession with asian pop stars and old rap videos. Deep, heavy beats with compelling grooves are just the start to his performance: as his dark & somber melodies flow in you will be mesmerized by his sonic curtains. Curtains. Sonic. Curtains.

Ricky Brugal

L-tron [Minnesota]
http://l-tron.bandcamp.com/album/l-tron
Upon discovering what the program was capable of, the scientists took immediate precautions, securing it inside of the nearest electronic device they could find: a Nintendo Game Boy. They feared its power yet, could not bring themselves to destroy it. Trapped inside the machine with no way to escape and return to its own time, the program began expressing itself through the sound chip of the Game Boy. Eons passed. An exploration vessel near a planet called Earth recorded thefollowing transmissions--code named: L-tron.
