WT: What was your first introduction to the scene?

ChasingBleEPs: The first time I had ever heard the term chiptune was during my 2nd year of Secondary school. At the time I listened to allot of artists like Nick Drake, Radicalface, Jose Gonzalez, stuff like that. I did not listen to any form of electronic music.

It was my friend Jack who brought up chiptune and introduced me to the genre. Jack had been introduced to it by his brother (SkyPope), and after that day all I listened to was Sabrepulse, Shirobon and Henry Homesweet. After a year I grew tired of the same old songs so I went back to listening to other music. My "chiptune phase" was over.....Or so I thought.

WT: How did you first come into contact with chip music?

Kool Skull: My friend Lars (http://brainjuiceink.com) showed me the band Mindless Self Indulgence, and they had just released the "Animal" video by M Dot Strange. I looked up M Dot strange, and his movie "we are the strange" had a chiptune soundtrack. I hit him up and he showed me kittenrock.co.uk and that's always been my favourite chip label ever since.

WT: How did you first come into contact with chip music?

Andrio: It was 2008 when I discovered the world of chipmusic and pixel art via the now defunct 8bitcollective. I was something like 12 years old at the time, and a pixel art friend of mine linked me to it. I posted pixel art for a year or so on 8bitcollective until I became inspired to write my own music. It was horrible at the time, but I have learned a lot since then, and yet I still have much to learn.

Weekly Treats: How did you first come into contact with the chiptune scene?

Poisoncut: I don't know if you would call it 'the scene' but the first time I heard chiptune music would have been around 1990, playing copied amiga games as a kid. I often left the cracktros running at the start to listen to the music. Over the years I still listened to it occasionaly but what revived my interest in a big way was the 8-bit collective site.
