Two minimixes and some trashy gabber italo shoot ‘em up beats. No vocals, strictly C-64 and Amiga. So, the planned release was delayed, but being true to the fast schedule of the elite data boys, I made this release 15 minutes before the new month and uploaded it here. Get it all here (16mb) and enjoy!
Always late and always in time – Goto80 strikes again! Bäst när det gäller!
Ok, I’m off to Switzerland in 10 minutes but I just thought I’d tell you that there’ll probably be a new Goto80-release up at Ageema Music Club tonight. So check it! This time it’s more of a soft thing, perfect for macho girls, teenage models and women and dogs. Hello Geneva, show me my genome.
Microdisco.de releases another mp3-compilation, this time with a crime theme. 14 tracks by Sidabitball, Gwem, Dubmood, Rick Zerone, Zabutom, Eat-Rabbit, Schmx & Stu (awp) and more. Check out the release here or download the complete archive here. Leech, suckaz!
Zan Hoffman releases another mash up of me and other artists from across the glöbe: Ankylym [ru], Crank Sturgeon [us], Thaniel Ion Lee [in], Alain Neffe [be], Juan Antonio Nieto [es], Ocosi [es], Yann [hk]. Let’s see if this gets online some day soon…

Oh, and someone please fix this EU copyright madness, please? Thanks.
Zan Hoffman from USA has an incredible body of experimental music work (since 1983) and has now released a mix session with (fragments of) songs from me, Mozaic and Pangea. It’s really a surprising way of mixing music, so you should try to get a hold of this. 
The demoscene is a bunch of teenagers making audiovisual computer productions. Since the mid 1980′s it’s been an international network of modem-linked people, sharing their work for free. Here you can find many roots to creative low-tech programming, free sharing of music and so forth. It’s always been surprisingly underground, although today alot of demosceners can be seen in the fields of music releases, multimedia, art, vj:ing, webdesign, etc. The wikipedia entry gives you an idea to the modern demoscene, but the oldschool demoscenes are really what gets me going anyway. The thing is that it’s not about animations. Everything is generated in real-time by the computer, through clever programming skills that makes the computer do things it’s not supposed to be doing.
Anyway, I’ve now updated this blog with info and downloads of most demoscene releases I’ve been doing 1993-2006. So feel free to check it out. Now, it’s really not that complicated to view these things with emulators (though sometimes things look, sound and feel really shitty in emulators). If you’re interested in gaining insight into one of the most interesting underground computer movements, you need to check this. Let me help you.
Commodore 64: Go here, scroll down and download the VICE binary distributions for your operating system. Install it. In a the options pull-down menu, set it to True Drive Emulation, and then you can just download demos and drag and drop them into the emulator. Some suggestions: Hello:Friend, Goa Brudbilder, Megademo 3…
Gameboy: Go here and download KiGB. Download some Gameboy-demo – Demotronic is the best one – and run the KiGB program and load the file. Voila!
Amiga: use UAE but you have to wait for the hot Up Rough hack for it so it becomes easy to use. It’s horrible at the moment.
Okay, now get some proper hardware and do this for real. Some C64-demoscene stuff you need to search CSDB for in your quest for the best: Kjell Nordbo, Panoramic Designs, Wrath Designs, Plush, Booze Design. I’ll be back about this….
The freshest Amiga demoscene crew known to mankind, Up Rough, is building a webradio with music from our releases. It was just updated with new tracks, so check out the wonders of Qwan, Yoki, Skope, Spot, Goto80, Dino, everybody’s favourite Mortimer Twang, and the rest. There’s one chip radio with the bleepy stuff, and then the MOD-radio which shows what you can really achieve with 4 channels and 8-bit samples. Booombastiko fresh drum n’ bass dub electro techno evil sweetness! For the Goto80-freax, there’s alot of tracks not available anywhere else. So listen up! got damnit!
Jellica has released his another one of his beautifully crafted megamixes full of old and new chip music, mixed with other fun bits and pieces – all in a fast rave fashion. Apart from me, it includes artists such as David Sugar, GwEm, David Bowie, Jeroen Tel, Josstin Timberlake, PVCF, Bacalao. Get it! Now! It’s great for quiet times with your cat.
Maybe the best computer party in the world, Big Floppy People, has just been announced. Once again it will be an old milk factory full of 8-bit data people, emitting mad smells and good vibes. Go to the south of Sweden in July, because this is not to be missed. More info and the invite intro with my music here.
