Chip music is a kind of music made from archaic hardware, including Nintendo Game Boys, Nintendo Entertainment Systems and Commodore 64s.

♪ [XC3N] (MTL)
Co-Foundator of Montréal's Toy Company events and sole chiptune DJ on FM, XC3N has been very active on the chip music scene. From lowtempo dubby vibes layered with hip hop references to high energy drum and bass rhythms, he keeps a steady flow of beats headed your way with his own unique live setup. After playing in Montreal, Quebec, New York City, Philadelphia and Boston, XC3N is happy to celebrate 5 years on the cheapt00n circuit with a comeback to Pulsewave: the very event which inspired him to stir up the scene in MTL.
