Derecha

Released in 2010 as a follow-up to the EP 'Left', Derecha represents a significant maturation in minusbaby's discography. Moving away from standard chiptune tropes, the artist utilizes the Game Boy and other limited hardware to craft a sound that aligns more closely with IDM and glitch-hop. The album is notable for its 'urban' character, a departure from the fantasy-oriented themes common in 8-bit music. Critical reception, though niche, highlighted the album's ability to transcend its genre through superior composition and rhythmic ingenuity. The track titles, largely in Spanish, hint at the artist's cultural influences and the 'samba' feel noted by contemporary critics. It stands as a pivotal work in the 'post-chiptune' movement, where the focus shifted from the novelty of the sound source to the artistic merit of the electronic music itself.
