Cartridge 1987

Cartridge 1987, often abbreviated as CT87, is a music artist known for their distinct blend of chiptune-infused tracks, which pay homage to the golden era of video game music – the late 80s and early 90s. Their pseudonym reflects both the method of data storage for many games of that time ("cartridge") and the year that signals a peak in the 8-bit video game era. Diving into the nostalgic depths of gaming sound, Cartridge 1987 breathes new life into the pixelated soundscapes that once emanated from the classic consoles and arcade machines.

Their discography is a testament to their adoration and respect for the foundational tunes that have shaped modern gaming soundtracks. Noteworthy titles such as “Rétro Découverte (Saison 3 OST)” and “The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask” showcase CT87's ability to reimagine beloved melodies, infusing them with contemporary vigor while retaining their original soul. Outside of these homages, original titles like “Starfighter,” “Patrol,” and “Cartridge's Theme,” display a marked depth and complexity, drawing listeners into aural realms constructed with the same passion and pixel precision as the games that inspired them. With "CT87 FM," the artist even extends their range to producing synthwave-influenced beats reminiscent of the late 80s radio, further underlining their versatility and creative connection to the era.
