Los Pat Moritas
Music
Los Pat Moritas is a tropical chiptune project from Buenos Aires, now based in London. Over the last decade I've released nine albums on Bandcamp, across labels including Blipblop (Argentina) and Cultura Chip, built around an unusual combination: the rhythmic DNA of Latin American dance music (cumbia, chacarera, reggaeton, moombahton) performed on the soundchips of late-80s and early-90s consumer hardware. The live set is a two-person show: Game Boy + LittleSoundDJ as the main rhythm engine, occasionally running two units in sync PSP + LittleGPTracker (Piggy) for fatter, more layered productions Commodore 64 / SID material via SidTracker64, including pieces released through the C64 demoscene on CSDb Live vocals in Spanish over the top, this is dance music with songs, not background music! Where most chiptune leans cyberpunk-cold or pop-saccharine, this set leans tropical, percussive and danceable. It's the sound of a Buenos Aires neighbourhood party run through 4-bit wave channels. EMF audiences who've enjoyed demoscene work, Game Boy performances or the chipmusic scene will find something familiar here, but coming from a region and rhythmic tradition that's almost entirely absent from the European chip circuit :) Background: I'm Nahuel Berneri (Naku Morita / Los Pat Moritas), composer, audio engineer and Point Blank Music School tutor. I've won multiple first prizes in chiptune compos, performed at Revision Party, hold a 2024 Premios Gardel for Dolby Atmos work on Chango Spasiuk's Eiké!, shipped audio for NES homebrew titles (Juanito Arcade, Api The Cat).
