DUBMOOD ----------------------------
Dubmood, born in Goeteborg, Sweden, currently residing in Marseille, France, is a
chip-music artist who originates from the cracking/reverse engineering scene and
it's obscure computer-culture. He has been making chipmusic with different
pseudonyms since 1996 (at the age of 11) and was recruited to the legendary
Crack-art collective Razor 1911 at the age of 15. In 2004, with over 300 different
pieces composed on both Amiga, PC, Atari ST and Gameboy for a large number of
keygenerators, crack intros, demos, installers, chipmusic disks, 8bit album-
compilations etc etc he decided to take it a step further by becoming a performing
live-artist and has been rocking stages all over Europe. Always with different
constellations of MCs, backup-artists and VJs.
It is not really possible to define what genre Dubmood is composing, because the
instrument known as chipmusic removes the boundaries of the music-genres as we
know them, and Dubmood respects no rules. Mixing Electro-house with Ska and Bach-
symphonies just to mash it up with a few classic 8-bit console tunes without
hesitating. It is music for the connoisseur, for the dance-floor, for the lounge-
evenings or the 3 o'clock in the morning havoc. This mixing of genres led to self-
proclamation as a founder of the genre chip-hop - Doing hiphop-beats with old game
consoles and getting a variety of MCs rapping over it. This has led to Dubmood
being acknowledged by artists from both Swedish big-acts like Svenska Akademien
(Dubmood was even featured on their latest single) to French head-of the charts
as Massilia Sound System and IAM.
In Marseille, Dubmood is, despite all his side-projects with known Atari-groups as
YM-Rockers and D-Bug, running the Marseille Micro:HQ together with Gameboy-musican
Confipop, organising workshops, seminars and concerts dedicated to chip music with
the French organisation "La Cyber Nostra", booking artists and co-ordinating
Europe's biggest chipmusic-event: The Data Airlines Festival, and broadcasting
regular radio-shows with chipmusic on radio galere (bleepy tunes) and
be.radio(marshacks). contact: Dubmood-at-Razor1911.com
