8-Bit Argentina.

Just a quick post to draw a little more attention to the whole 8-bit cumbia thing that’s going down right now. I’ll admit that It takes a while for this stuff to grow on you, but once you’ve heard half a dozen tunes you’ll be strangely hooked. This brings me to our duo Super Guachin who seem to be leading the charge with their signature sound generated through old, modified 8-bit consoles. For more of their work check out the Argentinean net label Cabeza where you can download a bunch of tunes for free.

Pibes Corros – La Colorada (Super Guachin remix)

Bonus Round!!!! Given that I actually know very little about Super Guachin, I decided to shoot them three no brainer questions to help shed a little more light on the elusive duo

______________________________________________________________________________________________

L: How long have you been producing?

SG: Well i ve been producing since 2008 experimenting with a few softs and a lot of hardware. In Super Guachin proyect we are 2 peoples and we produce animations to be projected in real time at live shows. Making a sort of 8bit tropical psychedelic trip.

L: What kind of gear do you use to get your signature sound?

SG: We are huge nerds collect vintage game consoles and old computers (like Atari, Commodore 64, Game Boy, NES and ZX Spectrum) with wich progamming sounds in trackers and old soft, I record a lot of things in my laptop home studio (old synths, new synths, electronic toys, guiros, cowbells, rythm machines and more)

L: Are there some recent releases people can go to too and check out more of your production?

SG: At the moment people can buy a few new tracks at Cabeza! (www.cabeza-netlabel.com) but soon there will be in other labels new material
