Sounds Like
Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Mouse on Mars, Plug.... 8-bit video games....
If you take the music from an old 8-bit game, throw some drum n' bass behind that, add meticulously sequenced synthy polytones, cut it up and make it all crazy.... thats kind of what it sounds like to me :) - What I tell people is that it "sounds like break beats and video game music all mixed together..."
from seattle, washington, has been cut-pasting, mangling, sampling, sequencing and squeezing every little bloop, beep, boop and bleep into an eclectic blend of drum & bass meets video game music meets industrial meets idm since 1999. catchy and quirky tweaking turns get-up-and-dance into sit-down-and-listen. You won't find your club anthems here, nor your saab commercial poptronica, but you may hear something you like.
composed almost entirely on old DOS-based trackers, midi sequencers and a plethora of hardware and software, multi-instrumentalist tangentbot sticks to using mostly samples he has created for himself, or tweaked into submission those that he just couldn't pass up.
currently residing in seattle, tangentbot is always looking for other musicians to collaborate with...

It was nice to accidentally find myself listening to your tunes. I like most of them somehow, but as it would matter, i confess you that my favorites are Beetle Triumphant, Fuzzbubble and especially Kitchen Ghost.
