Using an Elektron Octatrack as a mixing, effect and resampling unit, paired with two Amiga 600 computers with only 2MB of RAM running PT-1210, a DJ software I develop with some friends, I bring you one hour of 90s acid tunes that still slap today.

PT-1210 uses the Protracker module format, which is an open source music file that contains all the samples as well as the song data in one package. It's 100% open: anyone can download, peep inside and if they wish so, re-edit the tunes. Pretty revolutionary for being like 30 years ago.
The filesizes are tiny too, remember these computers have very limited RAM, and all the tune must fit there. The result is played in real time and thanks to our software, can be modified live with performance features like looping and muting of parts.

All but one of these tunes were made back in the 90s too! The sole 2021 tune is a remix I made of a track by my friend Phineus II.

The Amiga computer is a pillar of 90s music production, without it, a lot of the acid, rave and jungle records that were most influential in the rave scene of the 90s would not have existed. Like other people who didn't have enough resources to buy other equipment, I also used it to take my first steps in music making.

Offering sampling capabilities at a mere fraction of the price of even the cheapest sampler at the time, and being pretty similar in sound and spirit to the Ensoniq Mirage (both engineered by the same person), the Amiga was a very tempting platform to get started in electronic music creation. Its 8-bit resolution can be a huge asset in the right hands as the tunes played in this mix prove. Also who doesn't like some low bit crunch?

It has been famously used by artists like Urban Shakedown, Patric Catani, Axwell, Plaid, Equinox, Paradox, Bizzy B, Omni Trio, Ural 13 Diktators and many more, and currently has been revived by a new wave of jungle producers like of Boy 8-Bit, Kid Lib, Phineus II, Dev/Null and others.

If you like what you hear and want to support my music work (including development of PT-1210), please give me a follow in the following places, and also consider buying some music off my Bandcamp page. I'll be forever thankful.

This is my [Pixie] own original song created for the Tenno Tunes Vol 2 contest.

This song is inspired by Titania, one of my favorite frames. Featuring SFX of her abilities and musically describing all the things about her within the rhythms and melodies, from the butterflies around her to the Dex Pixia she wields not to mention Razorwing too.
