Remote_ Apart from the fact that 'Reach for the Stars' is a perfect example of everything I love about computer music, the whole album is just an absolute belter of a piece of work. The soaring pitch-bent melodies and arpeggios, the basslines that make me want to dig out Thunderforce IV and the fact that (I don't say this lightly) some of the arrangements and progressions remind me heavily of Tim Follin. An utterly exceptional piece of work. Pure gold. Favorite track: Reach for the Stars.

stairs33 This album has a nice nostalgic sound that I could listen to all day. I hope cTrix makes more music like this. It also makes great dance music if you're into synth-pop/chiptune! Favorite track: DX Heaven.

Dan cTrix is undoubtedly one of the GOAT when it comes to Amiga productions... Every time I give these tracks a listen it feels as fresh as the first time... Extreme danceability warning! Favorite track: DX Heaven.

about

Here is the EP we have been so eagerly waiting for. “A for Amiga” is a 7 track EP that should be viewed as an ontological musical work of the Golden Age of the Commodore Amiga scene. We really believed these days were over, but here is an artist that doesn’t need to be in the 90s anymore to be able to do proper, and we mean it, really good oldskool scene music. Getting away from the monotonous and predictable Techno sound of today he seduces us with Rainbow-Multi-layered harmonies and kaleidoscopic Synth leads that drive this EP into a non-stop explosion of incredible musical ideas. Not only brilliant from the Harmonic point of view, cTrix is also a versatile drum programmer. It’s an EP that tells us that this man knows everything about the Amiga scene and that there is little you can do about it.

With styles ranging From Prog-jazz to Retro-synthpop, this EP will definitely bring you back to the Sound of the computing underground of the 90s.

cTrix comes from Australia and has been an avid Amiga tracker since the age of 12 and thrives on its limitations. He drives a rough & crunchy sound covering styles from Synthpop to 90′s rave. His music has been described as: “a phat and chunky combination exploring many styles”.He recently invented the gAtari (an Atari strapped like a guitar), and has played in almost every important Chip stage from New York to Tokyo to Amsterdam.
