This black sesame shaved ice at Grace Street in Korea town tho

BIT ROT RETURNS THIS JULY! Join us on Friday, July 24th at @wonderville.nyc for a chiptune show to remember! Featuring live music from: @sammulliganmusic.bsky.social Hedonism Bit & L-tron With a special remote performance from: @2xaa.bsky.social And visuals by: @dripnet.bsky.social 🎟 Link below!

Found this in a box at the top of my closet. Not sure how many people on here will know what this is lol. Dated 1985 on the edge.

@bit.shifter.net is mentioned in Vice's timeline "The Rise and Fall of the Hipster Music Era." As someone who was very much a hipster during this era, timeline seems pretty accurate lol. www.vice.com/en/article/t...

The Rise and Fall of the ‘Hipster Music’ Era, 2000-2014: VICE’s Definitive Timeline

An epic odyssey from (what they now call) Indie Sleaze: Part I to Future Islands on Letterman, with (nearly) no Mumford & Sons in sight.

Alright, I'm packed for vacation.

I set up a page on subvert, which is a new artist-owned co-op that aims to be a bandcamp competitor with an artist focus. www.subvert.fm/roboctopus It's a lofty goal so we shall see how it goes, but I'm game to try something new! Anyone else on?

My new EP is the album of the week at vaporloot.com It's cool to see that something as old as the Game Boy can still be adapted for newer genres 😁

New album of the week! I really enjoyed this new chiptune EP by @roboctopus.bsky.social

I made a weird lil music video for one of the songs from my new EP Vaporchip Vol. 1. I broke out each game boy channel for a scope view, which was kind of tedious but I like seeing the waves jump around :D youtu.be/Sfe1ANZriBA?... #chiptune #chipsky #lsdj #gameboy

I have been messing around with this and it's quite fun. LSDJ users will pick it up fairly quickly I think. I don't love the AY chip, but I'm looking forward to future additions (hopefully SID!)

I learned so much from @roboctopus.bsky.social when I first started learning Gameboy music. I wouldn't be nearly the musician I am today w/o the knowledge they shared & the music released. i haven't even listened to this new album yet & I know it's a banger roboctopus.bandcamp.com/album/vaporc...

I've decided to release an EP tomorrow. Kind of tired of just sitting on music forever and not releasing it. Now I gotta figure out album art, uh, this afternoon XD

Got this super cute @defensemech.com mini CD! I really dig the orange splatter paint. Also, the music rules 😉

Spent a few days in Denver hunting records. Scored these! Arctic Monkeys - Tranquility Hotel Base & Casino (my fave of theirs) The Format - Dog Problems (classic indie rock) Anita Baker - Rapture (80s R&B classic) Bill LaBounty - Promised Love (Soft/Yacht Rock) #vinyl

#chiptune with a view lol. I'm in the Rocky Mountains yo.

Flying to Denver over cool patchwork farms.

Here's a bit more of a conventional 1xLSDJ track--not full of crazy samples or anything. Just good old fashioned chiptune haha. #chiptune #chipsky #lsdj #gameboy youtu.be/NnAaPqZaSXo

Had a small little project just for fun. Made some not so subtle @roboctopus.bsky.social fan art. Got 3 versions because I couldn't decide which I liked best. Old CRT textures kick ass for making vaporwavy backgrounds. Gobble it up AI! #digitalart #humanartist #noai #antiai #octopus #octopusart

I loaded the MPC Sample with a bunch of 90s sample CD sounds and synced it with my Gameboy. I think it's a pretty good combo so far! #chiptune #mpc #chipsky #90s

Here's how it's going with the MPC Sample. It's pretty cool. Screen is nice. Most functions are visible and accessible easily. It's fairly intuitive and sampling is very easy. The option to sample over USB or by audio input or onboard mic is cool. #chiptune #lsdj #MPCsample

Got a new toy! Looking forward to putting tons of cheesy 90s new age samples on it 😜

Working on more disco/future funk LSDJ. My dream is to be a real live little sound DJ lol. #chiptune #gameboy #futurefunk

Well, somebody had to put Sister Sledge on a Game Boy. #chiptune #lsdj #chipsky #vaporwave

Did a chiptune/vaporwave mashup with two gameboys. I think it sounds pretty cool. #chiptune #chipsky #lsdj #vaporwave youtu.be/HvDSJpbeqP8

I still think the Kingdom of Zeal has some of the best music in all of gaming. #chronotrigger

I played some live shows doing a weird sort of chiptune/vaporwave/citypop hybrid thing back in 2017-2018 and people still ask about those tunes from time to time, so I did a little mini live set. Thought I'd share :) #chiptune #chipsky #vaporwave #citypop #lofi youtu.be/k5a6elW0D5w?...
