Why is this scene so closely associated with warez?
What do they use to make the music?
How is it related to AMIGA/C64 COMPOSER APPRECIATION THREAD
and what is a tracker?

I am largely in the dark about this music but it gets me fired up.

And do people dance to it

seven years pass...

LOL! Should I try to revive this thread?

I would like to know more about chiptunes. I am a huge YMO fan, who influenced video game music quite a bit. I am also fond of the music composed by Bun Bun (Mega Man 2, 3).

I'm curious to know who was using actual SID chips in the days of electro and space disco (if anyone).

I think there's a real art to getting the whole song into such a small bit rate.
