808642
808642 is my new release to celebrate 808-day (8/8) like a real drum machine freak. You get some electro, techno, some sort of pop, drum n’ bass and some slow beats.
Just like 80864 it uses primarily TR-808 and Commodore 64, but also other things. A lot of the songs are based on jams, and the last song is actually a 15 minute jam that I didn’t have time to finish properly, but I included it anyway.
Video of my Kenobisbosch set
I played a live show from home for Kenobit‘s Twitch-stream, Kenobisbosch. From dub-electronica to acid to electro, pretty much? I tried a new setup (that I should’ve tried ages ago): two C64s, Amiga 600, the ER-1 drum machine and two effects (a boss delay and a Fusionbox, which stopped working half way through).
Since my camera bailed out on me a few times, I asked to have the Venezuelan poodle moth replace me. You’ll hardly notice the difference.

Robot Jam Ljubljana
Truckstop Alaska, Gothenburg
Today there’s Allhelgonafest at Truckstop Alaska with me (and Cuadrigula on visuals), The Toilet & Ljudit Andersson, Bruce Leenus and Venguns playing. The theme of the evening is TECHNICAL ERROR so you can expect lots of lovely errorism all around.
Remember to become a member of Truckstop (for free) before you come, if you aren’t already. (Truckstop Alaska is closing at the end of the year, so this is one of your last chances to visit one of the most legendary venues in Göteborg.)
Chipmusic, Demoscene, Robots @ Osmo/za, Ljubljana
Bitte Acht Bits, Strasbourg
Bitte Acht Bits in Strasbourg, 21 September with Otto von Rhino, General Cochonnou, Crash Server and me.
dubCRT review
A review of the dubCRT cartridge and Remute’s Sega Mega Drive cartridge, made by Techmoan. Our cartridge doesn’t sound quite right in the video since it’s played on an old SID-chip, but who am I to judge?
I wrote a post about cartridge music a few years ago, if you want to know more…
