Camelot Arcade is delightful, it's what it sounds like - electro if it were made by cool dudes in King Arthur's time.
His videos are a bit cheeky but fun. Someone else already posted a link to Eurozone, it's worth a watch.
Some of my favourites:
Hovagen (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29ftnHe5K88)
Sneaker (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhZzSdgnDF8)
Legend of Phaxalot (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=on8C1mEKp88)
and also, a shoutout to the hippest city in Canada (tho he was probably talking about the UK variant): Haliphax (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dev3_-cHvhY)
I also really love his track Acid le Soken. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghgbqldDI2U It's some of the most beautiful symphonic 303 out there. The only other stuff I feel comes close is Kosmik Kommando's first album (Freaquenseize). It's just infused with such a delightful sense of shameless nostalgia, no need to get "intelligent" just for the sake of it.
Well, by his own words:
> It was made on a non midi TB-303, I copied the score from Bach's prelude no.1 in C which is all monophonic and quite simple to read and put in to the 303. Most patterns are 8 16ths long with accents on the 5th and 8th notes. The patterns are repeated twice per bar. I chained every pattern in each pattern group start to finish in song mode and manually changed the pattern group from I to II to III and back again throughout the song, used up about 36 patterns on the 303 + took about 3 or 4 hours!

(Edit: i wrote a ton of visuals software for that night only, some of it is listed here: https://github.com/sloev/psyphon_terrain) really miss dancing to "mediteranean acid"!!!!!!
By far the most intense festival I’ve been to and heard of.
Amazing weekend.
Have certainly seen some things there ;)
Loads of sets from the festival here: https://m.soundcloud.com/bangface This set is amazing: https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/nVY3iw24HDSVBRXt7
Never thought I'd see it mentioned here.
Same!
Apologies if you were there that weekend and got woken up at 6am by someone driving around in a Porsche with a loaded sound system playing Josh Winks Higher State of Consciousness on (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uh8POlIHkSI&t=200s) at full volume on a constant loop. That was me! :-P
* They are also touring this year.
(Arcadian from the same album is like its 16-bit chiptune/rave younger sibling on even more speed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9gASGEHkww)
16-bit retro vibes are also present in his Capsule in Space track - feels like a 90s Amiga demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dqimbX0l0E
He also has a very clear love of the Amiga:
Amiga 500 Tapes - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35Lv8J1VMog
Amiga Railroad Adventures - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4jTVAGKjDA
There's some aliases project that he hasn't publicly connected to him yet (such as https://www.elektrobopacek.ch - which is technically a personified recording studio and at times a collective although it's 80% Danny) and he makes "guest appearances" all over the place such as the telemarketer in Xosars, "The calling" (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-UdW-lmHSNY)
The video has been entirely hand-made on a C64 with the graphics characters from the built-in charset aka PETSCII. No other software than a blank C64 screen was involved. Made by the very talented Raquel Meyers.
Here's a video of her creating an animation, the technique is called KYBDslöjd or Live Type In, I think all the key-presses get recorded, then the sequence replayed in time with the music.

The software was developed at demo parties in the Swedish demo scene.

> warning: occasional strobe. as we've not been able to travel for ages I decided to send myself off on a virtual holiday of Europe
Here's a great interview with him https://youtu.be/f6t5hZTEdbI
Site is reminiscent of https://hackerscurator.com/ which is also a bunch of people who haven't quite let go of Hackers (Not that it's a bad thing!)
Related link I found, re. Cybercafe BBS which was important: https://hansonaniboon.wordpress.com/2018/03/31/semiotext-and...
And from there: http://www.irational.org/cybercafe/xrel.html
Rafael Moreau is the son of an architect and a painter, nephew to a CIA asset, rodeo rider, and film student under none other than David Mamet. He actually came under FBI surveillance after writing the script for Hackers.
There were production groups in the US and the UK. One of the location unit directors had worked on Hair, Desperately Seeking Susan, and Ragtime. There were multiple consultants including Goldstein, Mitnick, Dave Buchwald (who is also an art photographer), and the one credited as "hacking consultant" is Omar Wasow, PhD in African American Studies from Harvard.
The graphics portrayed in the film and the representation of the mainframe are meant to be unrealistic and represent the characters' thoughts and feelings about the data and events, not to be examples of real-life things. People often pick at that part of the movie after accepting the intro with the circuit board city, the spinning phone booths when the phone are clearly in a bank along one wall, and a lot of other inconsistencies with real life.
The whole vision for the movie from Moreau and Softley was a highly stylized, visually interesting version of the subculture. Softley added the rollerblading specifically so the movie would have more motion and a little less sitting at terminals. I don't think we can expect it to be anything other than an artistic representation of eclectic, bright styles.
"friend track"
big fan of this one, reminds me of selected ambient works era aphex twin
It's amazing what can be wrung out of old hardware.
The link is to http, the server does not redirect to https. So it works.
When manually adding the "s" (or using a browser that tries to upgrade on its own), then yes, certificate error. Not only that, ignoring it the server responds with an error.
Simply use a browser that does not try to enforce https.
