Fresh Chiptunes Artists

[audio fidelity]

Who knows some?

I just discovered this guy today on Spotify.

Other notable artists I know are nullsleep and Anamanaguchi along with those that are more poppy like Neon Indian and Crystal Castles.

[Red Shadow]

psilodump has been a favorite of mine for years (scroll down a bit for the albums he has posted on the site)

he does pretty much whatever he wants these days and i'm madly in love with all of it, but he started out tracking .MODs, and theyre ever so fun to listen to

[audio fidelity]

Thanks! I dig it! Very, very well done and inspiring.

[Obtuse]

Ok here I go. This is a list of some of my favorites ( I have a lot)

RainbowDragonEyes (

)

Sabrepulse

Bit Shifter

Danimal Cannon

Random

disasterpeace

Chipzel

An0va

Glomag

Virt

Not sure if you'll find these on spotify. Nearly all of them can be found on bandcamp. Also throw the names into youtube and see what you can find. Sometimes live shows pop up as many of them are getting recorded these days.

There's multiple chiptune net labels that I recommend.

8bitpeoples

Ubiktune

Pause Music

PTE SQUAD

This could take forever If I kept going. The world of chiptune is growing rapidly.

Also Radioshows dedicated to chiptunes:

I do the 8 bit Power Hour on Mondays at 9PM on www.areciboradio.com .

Kristina Kaufman has a show called Noise Channel at on Thursday at 10 PM on www.areciboradio.com

Between the 2 of us you can hear a portion of what is happening in the chiptune show.

Obtuse gave you a very good list, but you can't forget Trash 80 and OCR's very own halc.

Big Giant Circles also went on a chiptune tear in the Imposter Nostalgia album he released. It's surprisingly extremely good.

[ectogemia]

Anamanaguchi if you're looking to get amped.

Yogurtbox if you're feeling a little FM jazz/fusion. The two guys who make up yogurtbox, coda and surasshu (sp?), have awesome solo work as well.

[Zerothemaster]

I listen to a lot of Sabrepulse and Henry Homesweet, some Fighter X and Smiletron, and Je Mappelle.

[PixelPanic]

We can't forget about somewhat internet-famous OCRemixer Shael Riley and the Double Ice Backfire. Also, check out Starscream if you like Anamanaguchi.

[Geeky Stoner]

[Benjamin Briggs]

c-jeff, disasterpeace, and dubmood are all really good

[Monobrow]

Shnabubula makes some of the most insane awesome chiptunes, but that goes without saying.

[WillRock]

Surprised Protodome and Ben Briggs haven't been mentioned yet. Both awesome, and Ben Briggs was doing it before many people on this list

[ectogemia]

Woopz, I would have said BenBriggz, but I thought someone had already mentioned him. Also, I feel like a turd for not mentioning Shnabubula. Best musician ever; so much respect for what he's made.

[PROTO·DOME]

Blitzlunar, Shemusic, George & Jonathan, flashygoodness to name a few.

I mean really the timing of this thread felt a little disingenuous, but there is a lot of good music out there so maybe I'm reading more into it than I should. There are a LOT of great artists out there waiting to be discovered and I don't think we've even scratched the surface yet, and I'm really surprised that while the title says fresh I'm seeing names that are already pretty well known for the most part. Granted everyone I've listed is pretty much required listening anyway and generally considered legendary in their own rights, and I haven't really been keeping up with the chip scene of late anyway so a pox upon me also.

[Xenon Odyssey]

HertzDevil

Interrobang Pie

I'll be fresh...someday...

[Torzelan]

I know basically nothing (and can't find much) about "Twelve Insomnia" except that he(?) did The Fire (which I found in Dj CUTMAN's Dubtropolis). Want more of this so badly!

[Rayza]

Just heard "First Crush" by Sabrepulse on the DI.fm liquid d n b channel today. Great stuff..
