A 22 minute EP of remixed soundtracks to classic video games on Sega and NES, produced by Steve Biloba of the supergroup, Baboon Torture Division. Digital Masturbation (1) was very first BTD album produced over 23 years ago when a young Steve Biloba wired his parent's PC to control a friend's state-of-the-art 90's synth and used it to play MIDI files of Nintendo soundtracks.
Many hours of quality amusement were had making instant remixes and learning the ropes of a shiny new synthesizer. Some of the results were terrible, most were ok, and every once in a while it was good enough to record. About 45 minutes of nonsense was distilled and overdubbed to produce 22 minutes of exquisite nonsense, which was released on a tiny CD by the fledgling Crunch Pod label.
Now Steve Biloba is getting back to his roots and adding modern synthesizer voices to old video game soundtracks. During the pandemic, Steve took the time to update his drum library, download some new plugins, and learn various modern virtual synthesizers.
With a treasure trove of unfamiliar synths at his fingertips, Steve started combining random presets with NES MIDI files to breath new life into compositions that had classically been voiced by bloops an bleeps. When he stumbled into something that worked, he would then use that as a learning opportunity to get under the hood of the synth patch, figure out why it worked, and come up with ways to make it even better. A few of these happy accidents were too good not to share, so they were recorded it and given some polish and overdubs. That was the process in 1998 for Digital Masturbation 1, and it is a tradition that carries through to Digital Masturbation 3 in 2021.

Upgrade your ears to a level of endurance you never thought possible. You can do it and Difficult Listening can help.

Difficult Listening

A buttload of Baboon Torture Division tracks, distilled, chopped and melded together in one extended jam. DJ Steve Biloba juggles some of BTD's most dance-able melodic tunes with unhinged experimental chaos and a meandering drum machine. Open your mouth, lean sideways, and rotate your neck until you face the ceiling.. because you are about to get a wet blast of frothy BTD strait from the tap. Weeze deeply of the Juice. This is a unedited 1 hour jam strait off the laptop recorded beneath Tropical Storm Hilary.

Funky fresh beats to set shit off. A 44 minute drum solo.  No melodies, no lyrics, just pure scratching, banging, looping and spinning. Starts off at a mellow 120 BPM then slides up to 144 for the majority of the sesh. The shit heats up till it's on fire around the 35 minute mark when the BPM's go up to about 180. Don't blame Baboon Torture Division if you spin this at the club and the B-Boys trash the dance floor like a 70's rock band hotel room. B-Boys will be B-Boys.
