The C64 is officially 30 years old these days!
The home computer was launched in January 1982. Equipped with the SID Sound Chip, it played a vital and decisive role in the definition and creation of digital synthesizer and computer music. The signature sound created back in those days can still be heard today, the influence is maybe higher then ever, seeing some of the best albums of the year resemble the sound - check out the last albums by the likes of Zomby, Damu, Rustie et al.. 
Oh wait.. did I mention, we are releasing 19 original classic C64 tunes from the 80ies - remastered + cut on double vinyl, on February 20st - preorder available here!

Robot Elephant Records favourite Sounds of 2011 - Zomby-  Blue Orchid - from “Dedication”

Enigmatic producer Zomby is crossing chip tune with dub step in this beautiful track that is one of my favourites from this year, and for sure a combination of sounds that will surface more often in the future,  I reckon…  

The whole album “Dedication”, which is out on 4AD, is a masterpiece, and actually rather accessible and pop-oriented.
