Amigacore is a term given to a particular type of techno music, named so because it was produced on Commodore Amiga computers (16/32 and 32-bit computers, popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s). Because of the limitations of computer sound technology at the time, only a limited number of audio channels could be utilised, and the sound carried a particular raw quality that came to be associated with computer sounds of the era.
Some notable artists included Nasenbluten, Xylocaine and Animal Intelligence, who would often fuse elements of heavy metal and gangsta rap with the gabber and speedcore of the time.
