Digithype Records is an independent label from Marseille, France with a lot of potential. They have recruited names that keep gaining momentum and whose tracks keep appearing in our blog. Check out the tracks below and you will see what I mean. The Ninetynine track is dope; The Noisy Freaks song starts of like a Tiesto track (terrible I know), BUT half-way through destroys the repetitiveness and drops you into an unpredictable beat, the title makes it very clear what the intention of the track is; and finally the Eworks track brings to mind the new Ed Banger sound. The rest of the tracks are also sick so sit back and enjoy the sounds.
Digithype All Stars Vol.1 by Digithype Records
I think 8-bit music can be the shit, and I think it is very impressive how people can compose on only four channels per Game Boy cartridge and with the most boring interface you can imagine. But there is a reason why 99% of the stuff posted here is not a magical bleep filled track, and that is because we love bass and firmly believe that drums are meant to hit a wide range of frequencies, specially low ones. So far, most 8-bit music that has come my way has been produced by purist who even at times avoid the help of modern software. That, I believe, has kept the genre obscure. Imagine what would come out of a combination of the 8-bit leads and bleepy goodness and electro drums and bass-lines that hit the low ends fully and in a way that 8-bit drums (crashes mainly) simply can't.
