Datarunner E.P. Now Available!

Radiograffiti presents:

RGV-005
Dispyz – “Datarunner E.P.”

Radiograffiti release page: http://www.radiograffiti.org/dispyz-datarunner-e-p

Next in Radiograffiti’s release queue comes the very uncompromising final output from Tyler St Clair’s Dispyz project, the “Datarunner E.P.”

This release has something of a storied history, not because it pays homage to the early 80′s Milwaukee hacker crew the 414′s (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_414s), but because of the incredible amount of adversity we had to face to make this release possible. Fucked-up tests, strikes by nickle miners in Canada, plating costs being raised by 300%, labels melting on the pressing machines, release parties being cancelled…you name it.

Some call it persistence, we call it stupidity. We stuck with it and it’s finally here, for better or worse.

Was it worth it? Well, if you think the world needed a limited, translucent green, lo-fi, Amigacore vinyl dedicated to the golden age of computer hacking like we did then yes, it was certainly worth the migraines and monetary loss.

Here’s what’s included:

- Translucent green 7″
- Black skull logo sticker (while supplies last)
- Large tracker logo sticker (also used for upcoming t-shirt design, more info on this soon.)
- Two dispyz buttons (while supplies last, see our flickr profile to see photos of these)
- Download credit for your preferred file format of the Datarunner E.P. via the dispyz Bandcamp profile

The bandcamp download also includes a bonus .torrent file containing the .mod version of Datarunner (featured in the homebrew Amiga Tracker Hero game), the 7″/Octamed Soundstudio version of Datarunner, and a few extra samples of synths, breaks and dialogue to pass along for use on the Amiga line of computers. For those who are interested, one of the sample folders contains all samples from “We Came To Overtake”. Go nuts.

Vic 20s mashed with Run DMC?
Metal breakdowns by way of squarewaves?
Gangsta rap chopped over screaming rave synths?
Yeah, this shit is real. It’s been a good 15 years dispyz. R.I.P.

All info regarding the release to be posted soon. Here’s some hype in the meantime.

Believe it.

This will also be the last output from the dispyz project, officially making it the end of a tumultuous *fifteen years* in lo-fi/chip music. The stagediver project will continue on strong however.

Too bad.

Some Things On Which To Catch Up…

A few months ago a previously recorded Stagediver set, from January ’09, was featured on the Vicious Pop iTunes “popcast” as number #10 in the series. Check it out here if you missed it the first time. Really late on this information but it’s worth the wait.

Be sure to peruse Vicious Pop and check out another side of the Milwaukee underground (and beyond). Pure fire.

Also another post-worthy note about the Stagediver project:

It seems as though Simon Underground just premiered a forthcoming track from the new Stagediver 12″ on distort records via his radio show over at Krafty Radio. You can check out the tune in all of it’s compressed glory over at mininova here.

More info to come shortly.

**edit**

Also, big shouts to the chipflip blog for the nod to the dispyz 7″/current state of “amigacore”. Keep your bookmarks locked to this wonderful source of all information lo-fi. Indispensable.

Some have stated that when you play the B-Side from the Raverblood at the wrong speed you see wolf attacks. This is wrong. Here is a video that offers a rare glimpse into what *really* happens:
