Listen: Bit Shifter's March of the Nucleotides

The last post where I featured Bit Shifter's 2007 BlipFest performance didn't quite go over so hotly with a few of you, apparently, so try this one -- freshly published from 2 Player Productions -- on for size instead. It's from a Tank performance several months later in Spring of 2008, and is a bit more classically melodic. Now do you get why the kids are dancing?

Those people look like they're trying very hard to be excited by that.

HROM- Federal Awesome Emission guidelines prevent Bit Shifter from revealing 'Next Step' levels of awesome before Government Mandated awesome checkpoints(2010, 2012, 2015). Where he to unleash full Next Step technology, all human life would perish.

Yes, this type of music is prettymuch one of those guilty lil secrets you dont really talk about until someone suddenly hits shuffle on your laptop and finds out your musical tastes are those of a E'in videogame freak. Hats off bitshifter, good'O. -_-

Oh dear. When you're having to explain/defend bleepy techno to your commenters, it makes me feel like I'm on the wrong blog. This music has been around since 1989, people... what's next? An essay introducing Grandpa to first-person shooters? A breathless post about the potential of multiplayer games on AOL?

Electronica is the major development in music since the mid-80s, and devotees have absolutely nothing to feel "guilty" about. No offense but I am starting to wonder if this blog is actually one of those publications that explains culture to old people, you know, like those Sunday magazine supplements. Then again, I'm 36 so hardly a spring chicken, but still. This genre of music is really not new. Pretty good example, but hard to understand where the "I just don't get it" crowd" are coming from. How do you guys feel about punk? Heavy metal? Rock'n'roll? Beat music? Jazz? It's very much the "cat's miaow" with the young dandies now, you know...
