Super Video Game Nightcore Mixtape

The “Artists” over at international video game remixing super group PARTY MEMBERS have just released a brand new Nightcore album, which this writer believes is what it sounds like when you set a youtube video to play back at 1.25 speed.

Nightcore, or “NXC” as folks who have a limited use of their keyboard call it, is popular among dance music fans, millennials, squirrels, certain cats, ghosts who haunt power plants, and that guy who always hogs that good table at the coffee shop on the corner. Seriously, what is it with that guy? He doesn’t even order anything. He just sits there all day staring into his phone like he dropped something into a well and can’t return home without it. Why don’t you let some of the paying customers sit by the window, huh??

Whatever your feelings on Nightcore, you have to admit that this video must have taken a long time to render.

If you must, downloads for VGM NXC 001 can be found on Bandcamp. Please, don’t follow Party Members on Soundcloud.

At the end the crowd decides the winner, but GameFace is also polling their viewers in the YouTube comments and it sounds like there is an upset!
