Dual Core is a nerdcore hip hop duo composed of American rapper int eighty (David Martinjak) and British producer c64 (Chris Hunger).

History

Martinjak, an information security engineer from Cincinnati, met Hunger, a graphic designer from Manchester, in 2003 on an online music forum.[1] They collaborate via the internet to produce their music. Hunger produces beats and sends the files to Martinjak, who records his vocals and uploads them to a server, Hunger downloads these files and uses them to mix the tracks.[1] Dual Core are unusual for a nerdcore act in that it is composed of a rapper and a producer; most nerdcore rappers also produce their own beats.[2] Martinjak and Hunger did not physically meet until after 2007.[3]

Band members

  • int eighty (sometimes "int80") — David Martinjak[1]
  • c64 — Chris Hunger[1]

int eighty's stage name is based on a Linux assembly instruction ("technically 'int 0x80.'") while c64 refers to both the Commodore 64 computer and a combination of his first initial and his height (6 ft 4 in).[3]
