Info:
Don Atari electro himself! Founder member of sound engineer- and DJ-collective drop da bomb (quality low-tech music since 1997). Stu is also known as an active musician and party organiser for the micromusic -community. Since a couple of years, the well known chiptune-artist from Basel Switzerland has stored most of his synth and sampler equipment in the attic, to be confined and focused to his old homecomputer, the Atari ST . Therewith he proves, that with a vintage machine, not merely classic videogame music from the 80s, but rather danceable electro for the floor can be produced. With his energetic style of music, supported by the retro sound characteristics from the Atari, Stu has become a name recognized around the globe, where he plays more and more livesets with his modified computer, known as the YMixer .

3 Channels, 4 Bit is what you hear!

Releases:

- Stu - greateST HITs (2007) NEW!

Finally, here's your chance to enjoy Stu's hard hitting dancefloortracks from the comfort of your own home! As the famous German writer Goethe wrote: "In der Beschränkung zeigt sich erst der Meister", implying that limitation reveals the real mastery, and this is particulary true for Stu's ultra efficient electro and breakbeat flavoured music. A minimum of equipment with a maximum impact, in the creative hands of this Swiss maSTer.

Available from 8bitpeoples.com

- Drop Da Bomb - 3chnls4bit (2005)

Made on three channels (and with 4 bit), this EP rocks the hell out of the limited soul of an Atari ST computer. Experience the pure raw lo-fi style of this production and you will have to admit that high gloss sound is worth shit if it doesn't make you bang your head.

Available from German independent label retinascan.de
