Answered by: Mikey - Artist

Where are you from? UK

What's your favourite thing about chipmusic/the chiptune scene? There is an incredible amount of positive energy at chip shows! Everyone knows each other and are super passionate about what they are doing. Everyone has a completely different take on the music and it's great seeing what people do!

What track would you recommend newbies to chip music check out as a gateway song? Random - Spontaneous Devotion.

What influences your music the most? Right now I would say '90s culture. There is an attitude people had back then that I really admire.

What's your favourite piece of equipment and why? The Nintendo Game Boy; it's my favourite-sounding game chip and the backbone to most of my music!

What's your favourite video game and why? Sonic 2. Amazing soundtrack!

What can we expect from your set at Square Sounds? I've put a lot of work into this set to do something really unique. Expect to see what you wish EDM could be —with Game Boys on top ;)

What day and time are you playing at Square Sounds? 4 Mar, 11.30pm. 

Square Sounds Festival is held at Evelyn Hotel on 4 & 5 Mar.
