Thomas MacLean is a Long Island-based chiptune producer who has been producing dancefloor-friendly music under the name Chromix since 1997. His output oscilates between low-fi melodic synthpop and hardcore fist-pounding chip, inspired equally by hours of misspent youth in his friend's basement playing Megaman 2 and at DJ venues basking in electronic euphoria.
As a techno producer, Thomas has headlined raves around the Midwest and his releases have been played by such DJ luminaries as Armin van Buuren and Rob Rage. After experimenting with Gameboy music as part of an art project in 2002, Chromix began writing music on his Gameboy and NES which culminated in the release of the Basement to Basement EP in 2006.
Since moving to New York in 2007 Thomas has taken his explosive live show to audiences along the east coast and captured the energy of those shows on his releases Drop the Beat Not the Game and 101.
Terry Venemous is releasing new music every 3 weeks this year. His latest EP is sumptuous art pop with a wry sense of detachment.
