 Chiptune/synth music for soldering and tinkering with electronics. The sounds of the Commodore C64 SID chip take center stage, complemented by more modern synth sounds and beats.

Hey there, how’s it going music people?🤗 Here’s another Chiptune track👾 (you can find the previous ones here: https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/sets/8-bit-vibes), finished yesterday, the day of the solstice (summer or winter depending on which hemisphere you’re in). The original title was just “Catchy Tune,” but honestly it sounded pretty lame, so we decided to change it to “Solstice,” since we completed it on June 21! 
Enjoy listening and have a great Sunday everyone!🫶

Solstice (Instrumental - Chiptune)

OK, true, we already released a song today, and you're probably still sipping your coffee from https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/my-coffee-and-me.
But we just had to drop this instrumental too (OK, to be honest, it was our nerdy keyboard player Mauro who absolutely insisted on it), a little tribute to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Commodore Amiga (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga)! 🎂💾
On July 23, 1985, the legendary Commodore Amiga was unveiled at New York’s Lincoln Center, with the iconic Andy Warhol as its godfather and the fantastic Debbie Harry from Blondie adding star power to the event.
The Amiga was a beast for its time: 8-bit samples, thousands of colors (32 out of 4096 at first, then 256+ with AGA), and the legendary HAM mode.
A machine that changed the game and inspired this track.

Nostalgic 80s Retro Chillwave with Latin Vibes

Between snatches of time, while we’re working on a full-fledged song with a video (…we should make it by next Friday!), we pulled out a Chiptune instrumental version of our song “In the Future” (https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/in-the-future). 
Mary and Tom weren’t needed this time, so of course they ended up taking care of production and mixing. The song was recently also released on the mainstream (https://ffm.to/in-the-future). 
Who knows, in the end you might find yourself humming it!😜

In the Chiptune Future

In the Chiptune Future (Instrumental - Chiptune)

Let’s kick off this final month of the year by closing the AI-music chapter once and for all, at least as far as we’re concerned. The die is cast now, there’s no turning back, only moving forward. And we move forward by offering you this playful Chiptune version of our recent "AI Killed the Human Star" (https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/ai-killed-the-human-star). This time the AI kills Chiptune too! What a world!
See you on Friday with an unusual Christmas song. 🎄🪩

AI Killed the Chiptune Star (Instrumental - Chiptune)

We loved Joe's song (https://soundcloud.com/joseph-stroffolino/old-saint-nick) so much - the one he wrote, sang, and we had the pleasure to play, produce, and mix - that we just had to make a chiptune version! Meet Old Saint Chip, a tiny 8-bit adventure through Saint Nick’s legendary bones. Plug in your headphones, maybe sit next to an old NES or C64, and enjoy the pixelated holiday vibes!🎅🏻🕹️🎄

Old Saint Chip (Instrumental - Chiptune)

Indie music maker, available for sound design & music for media.

I grew up with music & technology, and I love them both.
I love many genres but rock and electronic music have a special place in my heart.

Why the name Dark Side of Synth? Because it’s cool and it sums up my fascination with the dark side and with synthesizers. Dark side not just as negative but also as obscure, unknown, unexplored...

Don’t worry, you won’t be finding only darksynth, heavy, scary and sad tunes and tones here but quite a wide range and lots of happy, upbeat things too. Again, it is just a name – not a mission statement set in stone forever.

🎸We are a five-piece studio band mixing different genres and influences into our own sound.
Members:
Tom (vocals, occasional keys/guitar)
Mary (guitar, backing vocals)
Mauro (keyboards, piano, synths, winds)
Davide (bass, synth bass)
Valerio (drums, percussion)

The band has existed since 2015, but we only started publishing on SoundCloud and other platforms in 2024. Many of the songs we’ve released so far are reboots of tracks we wrote years ago, in case you were wondering how we managed to release over 100 tracks in one year. Before 2024 we only published on our own blog (which is now gone, replaced by a new one we barely use), so our audience was limited to a few hundred friends and acquaintances.
We’re not professional musicians! We have other jobs, and we don’t even consider ourselves musicians, at most entertainers and awareness-raisers.

⚡️We do not authorize the use of our music, voices or recordings for AI training or generative purposes without our written consent.
