Digital Emotion





Digital Emotion - Go Go yellow screen
"Formed in Denmark in mid-1983, Digital Emotion recorded two memorable albums of their funky electronic dance music. Their 1984 self-titled debut outing, which featured such infectious dance tunes as "Get Up, Action" and "Go Go Yellow Screen", was followed by Outside In The Dark, a year later. Both albums were produced the production team of Adam and Flesiner, whose past credits include overseeing recordings by the Videokids, Monotones, l-Vira and Q-Matic." (from Allmusic.com)
"Go Go Yellow Screen" by Dutch group Digital Emotion is about as solid as they come. Produced by Adams & Fleisner, this partnership produced a lot of hi- nrg electro for Break Records in the 1980s. Their style seems to have been co-opted by bubble gum dance groups from the 90s (aka Aqua and Venga Boys).

Murder One



Murder One reached out to me to highlight some tracks of his in advance of a tour of Japan, Hong Kong, and the United States in July and August. I love hearing what other knob tweakers are up to and featuring them here if I like what they are doing. Murder One's brand of dance music has a stuttering edge that keeps you guessing and though I hate to pigeon-hole anyone's sound, the drums and size of the sounds he is using are reminiscent of Justice. Driven by arpeggios and big synth tones these tracks are perfect for a crowded club full of lasers, fog machines, and strobe lights. He is currently finishing his debut album to be released in late 2009 on French label Tiffany Records.

Here are a few tracks available for download on ZShare. Enjoy.

8 bit Computer Music


And now for something completely different. Some cool 8-bit music from Commodore 64 games including this sweet Robocop Commodore 64 loading music. Hearing some of these made me want to use some of these 8 bit sounds for myself. And lo the internet offered a solution.


The basic64 is a VST plug-in that will let you synthesize 8-bit sounds. It is a VST plugin so its not standalone. You will need audio software like FL Studio, Cubase, Nuendo, etc to run it.
