Chiptune-Electro underground.

Well this is a new(ish) style of music that i have come across recently. It brings me back to the days of playing them old bulky gameboys and awfully slow and basic graphic consoles. The idea behind it is to use the chip they used in the gameboy for making new types of music. The idea kind of started when the old gameboy cameras you used to be able to get, they had a build in basic dj tool which alowd you to create your own soundtracks that sounded along the lines of game soundtracks. People started to develope and sell there own software and burn it onto gameboy carts, the most popular of which seem to be Nanoloop and Little sound DJ

There a just so so many artists that use gameboys in there live and recording sets for djing etc but i picked out 2 for you to have a gander at.

8-bit operators
They are a group of djs worldwide that do a number of various tunes, using modern hits and sampling to achieve interesting results.

These are up and coming electro bit-pop djs i persume you could call them. Have a weird way of approaching music and djing but some of it turns out sounding pretty good indeed.
Have a listen.
