Henry Homesweet - Essential Chip Mix 2012
Everyone’s favorite and prolific micromusic techno master has released yet another chip mix for the past year. Brilliant as always, why he hasn’t been asked to play the actual Essential Mix is mystery to me. The cover GIF is by xcopy.
THERE’S MY CHIPPY
Shael Riley and the Double Ice Backfire - Creep (Radiohead cover)
Chiptune-rock cover of Creep. Best song for 1 a.m. doing homework.
@Revengineers’ first EP…
…just came in the mail today! Got a thank you note from all the guys for ordering the first one! This amazing chiptune-rock band played at MAGFest X and blew my mind. Needless to say they’ve quickly become on of my favorite bands of 2012.
Construction of this album is beautiful. The stamped art on earthy-cardboard cover and glitch CD art makes me want to buy more physical albums instead of just digital downloads. Since this is on my iPod I’m probably just going to sit this at my desk to stare at it forever.
Why Bother - I Fight Dragons
From Weezer - The 8bit Album. Love this song, even though I know a lot of chiptune-core-bros hate them. Rediscovered by @s0nlxaftrsh0ck.
Crazy Comets (Orbital Decay Drum Mix)
Music by 8-Bit Weapon
Some of the first chiptune + drums combo I was ever introduced to… the rest was history.
