This Machine Eats Tapes

Super fun Eats Tapes are a duo that animate antiquated synthesizers and coax them into creating crazy bleepy bliss. The do this by taking things that were salvaged, fixed, fetishized and formerly fashionable machines and returning them to their past glories.

They're so good at their restoration work that they have become a household name in the San Francisco Bay Area. Eats Tapes bridge the gap between dance and video game pop-culture by redefining MIDI.

Dancing or playing your Intellivsion is irresistible when the beats and beeps come a poppin'. Eats Tapes are hyper glitchy goodness that's the best thing to come along since the Commodore 64.

Aciiiiiid Pauli

Call me biased, but when you're name is some play on my name, I kind of feel obligated to post your tracks. Acid Pauli is better known as Console in the ever popular Notwist. But when he's not touring with that band, he hole's himself up and creates bleepy minimal bliss.

He's pretty good at it too. With tracks on Compost and DOXA, he's obviously accumulating a bit of a good reputation. With slow build ups that are tense and layered, his tunes eventually explode into a frenzy of chaotic glitches. Throw in some strange influences and you have a guy that produces tracks that are out there and far more melodic than your average minimal techno track.
