Two lost & found lofi nuggets from the Jahtari vault, appearing on 7" floppy disc for the very first time. "Arcade Addict" is the original dub cut of Mikey Murka's "Sensi Addict", a version of the sweet Ujama classic that came out as a Jahtari Net-7" in 2006. Sprinkled with field recordings from early 80s arcade halls (done by kids with a walkman) this little oddity never made it to vinyl until now. "Proper Tings" on B is taken from a home made video from 2012, originally made to show the capabilities of a DIY Synth project using a Commodore C64 home computer sound chip, the growly SID synth.
Sounds are made from scratch, sequenced out on a MPC - and the ensuing dub jam turned out to be a lucky shot, eventually shaping up as Paul St. Hilaire's "Who Goes There". There's a raw, beautiful 8bit magic to this Dub, finally making it to wax for the first time.

STAFF COMMENTS
Matt says: A unique, inspiring, and singular movement in modern digi-dub and C64-informed electronics, the Jahtari label is truly one of a kind; with a vast catalogue to back up its message. One of the original contributors and poster boys of the label Disrupt comes through with a truly foundation shaking slice of 8-bit, arcadian digi-dub.TRACK LISTING
