I was browsing 8bc's music archive yesterday for some tracks by Starmelt, whose NL 2 techno tracks I always liked. However for whatever reason, most were no longer there (including Shitstorm, which was ace). Looking through my old chipmusic collection, it struck me there is actually quite a lot of music that I love, in many cases now seldom mentioned, by people that are no longer active in the scene or elsewhere.

Without wanting to be disrespectful to such folks, who I'm sure took a conscious step to move out of chipmusic, are there any other artists we've loved but no longer see posts from in the 'Releases' section? Or conversely are the likes of Lektrogirl, Future-Eater and Micropupazzo, musicians who made some wicked tracks in the past, active musically in other guises? I'm curious since ultimately I bet there are a lot of great forgotten tunes lying around on our hard drives.

im more curious about some of the people who disappeared more recently (and i had been talking to) who i havent heard from in months (albino ghost monkey, sil req), but yeah a lot of people have sort of dropped off over the years without saying anything, but that also may have to do with not wanting to get loads of crap from people if they actually were to say anything about no longer making chipmusic

I send emails about that every other week. I'm kinda worried too.

Also, I'd like some more Unicorn Dream Attack tunes!
