Crunchy, high-energy melodies built from the guts of vintage game consoles. A neon-soaked fusion of 8-bit nostalgia and industrial rhythm for digital explorers.
Neotericz is the primary alias of Ignacio Garcia, a pivotal figure in the Argentinian electronic scene since the late 1980s. Emerging from the underground circles of Buenos Aires, Garcia transitioned from traditional electronic acts like Mutus Liber to pioneer the 'chipmusic' movement in South America.
His work is characterized by a strict adherence to vintage hardware, specifically the SID chip of the Commodore 64 and the Nintendo Gameboy, which he uses to compose complex, danceable electro-pop and IDM. As the founder of the Gainlad netlabel, he provided a crucial platform for lo-bit artists globally. His inclusion in the '8-Bit Operators' Kraftwerk tribute on Astralwerks solidified his standing within the international chiptune community. Critically, he is respected for treating 8-bit hardware as a legitimate instrument for industrial and synth-pop expression rather than a mere novelty. His sound identity is a blend of 70s/80s European electronic influences filtered through the technical constraints of early computing.
