This is really cool. I had the idea of combining chip-tunes and djent a while ago, it's nice to see that other people thought of the same cool idea.

Music is badass, I want a download link.
Thank you for not making me click Like before listening.
Mix-wise, it's a good mix. The drums are S2.0? I would replace the snare/kick with something perhaps a little more original. The mix itself is a touch muddy, and lacking in the 8khz region I think.

fuck, listening to it again, as good as yesterday! Are you making an album of it? It will be niiiiice.
Edit: how do you compose this kind of stuff? Start with the -bit part or the djent one?

A djent band that isn't another periphery ripoff and doesn't overdo it with the djent cliches, congrats.
What do you use for the synths? I have looked around at different 8-bit emulators but they just don't have that sound.

Good. Very good.
The production is excellent, technicality-wise it's awesome. Not sure about combining djent with electro-pop melodies but it's nice anyway.

Thanks for all the feedback dudes!
@TheWinterSnow: For the synths I use a shit load different VST's/8-Bit emulators and layer them carefully until I get the desired sound. It's not a case of djent riff first or 8-Bit melody first, I'll combine the two together where it works and feels right.
Again, LIKE the Facebook page if you haven't already and spread the word. Our EP 'Insert Coins' will be released in the very near future!

First of all you need basic synth that use basic waveforms - sine/ triangular/ square... but mostly pulse ones. (don't remmember right but maybe one called Magic 8-bit - FREE)
Song was awesome but disappointing, cut that's more trance than 8-bit.
I would call it a cross between the two. Nevertheless, I don't limit myself to the 8-bit thing exclusively, I like to merge different styles together (be it trance or anything else) while of course keeping the 8-bit side as something that's always consistently there.
Thanks for all the feedback dudes.

cater an album of this towards ~140bpm pop techno, and you could sell this to clubs and white girls would be on it like a bum on a bologna sandwich son
