Lët’z Hack! is a radio show and podcast run by hackers at the syn2cat hackerspace in Luxembourg. They featured us on episode 14, Welcome, to the World of Tomorooooowwww! ™, and gave a shout-out to my home hackerspace, Hive13. The listing on the page shows the song played as Letter to c64, but they actually played our song Forever.

Nerdapalooza reviews Next Level

eighty — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 15:12:53 +0000

A rather flattering review of Next Level was dropped on us by none other than Hex of Nerdapalooza. As Nerdapalooza is one of the quintessential nerd music festivals, it is recommended that the A-game be brought in all dealings with Hex and the crew. Fortunately, that seems to be what we bring, on each album apparently:

I have been a fan of these guys since the drop of their first album, Zero One.

It (Next Level) is an amazing album, but frankly it NEEDED to be if it was going to be able to compete with Lost Reality

Read the full review, or just buy the album :]

Things You Should Be Listening To

eighty — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 15:22:43 +0000

An awesome write-up of Next Level has appeared on internet. This time it is from my newest bff, Beefy. He has only good things to say, but I would like to highlight one comment regarding c64:

c64 is almost a hidden treasure (I say almost because in the next year you’re going to be seeing him EVERYWHERE) and together Dual Core is the best thing in the nerd scene right now.

This is true, and one place you will find c64 is at work on Beefy’s projects. This makes me overjoyed as the two of them make incredible music. Beefy is by far one of my favorite rappers and definitely deserves serious listen. He truly is “one hell of a find”.

Monster Closet reviews Next Level

eighty — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 22:45:32 +0000

A very positive review of our album Next Level was posted by Justin Hall over at Monster Closet. In addition to the amazing graphic (left), he had these great things to say about our album:

for two dudes that self-produce all their material, int 80 (vocals) and c64 (beats) have always avoided the fuzzy, cheap, amateur sound that plagues most basement hip-hop. Next Level keeps that tradition alive with production that’s just as professional, clean, and perfectly mixed as anything from the recording industry. the duo’s more in-your-face, confident and brazen than ever – c64’s tracks are all over the map, from the thoughtful (Forever) to the head-nodders (Kick Back), and 80’s rhymes bounce between smirking (Here To Help) and serious (Letter to C64).

there’s a ton to offer all species of nerd – gamers of the tabletop scene will dig Natural 20’s, while Gears fans rejoice in The Hollow as 80 tells the game’s story better than CliffyB did. nerdcore hip hop fans will recognize genre superstars in I Remember and Magnificent Seven. and leet hax0rs will appreciate Kick Back and Life’s Work (which name-drops a couple prominent script kiddies).

Now that any of your previous uncertainty has been discarded, you can feel care-free as you purchase Next Level.
