Remix Default – A Tribute to the Characters of Bravely Default

remix-default-album-cover-1000x Remix Default is a collaboration between New Jersey musician Ralfington and Philadelphia DJ / producer Dj CUTMAN. Remix Default re-creates the theme music of each of the four main characters from the Bravely Default soundtrack, originally composed by Revo.

Remix Default is a fusion of retro-sounding Chiptunes and futuristic EDM. Ralfington transcribed the songs onto his 3DS using Korg’s DS10 software. Dj CUTMAN mixed and mastered the songs using the popular audio production software Ableton Live.

PIXEL NOIR Soundtrack Evokes Golden Age of JRPGs

Re-live JRPG soundtracks from the 8-bit through PlayStation eras with this soundtrack sampler, available alongside PIXEL NOIR’s Kickstarter campaign

PIXEL NOIR OST

New York City, New York – April 30, 2014 – SWDTech Games is delighted to announce the availability of a soundtrack sampler for their 16-bit-flavored role-playing title, PIXEL NOIR. In what’s been described as an equal blend of Chrono Trigger and Shadowrun, PIXEL NOIR aims to resurrect the classic JRPG, and has taken to Kickstarter to fund development and stay true to their vision rather than cave into publisher pressure to add pay-to-play features and cater to a casual audience.

PIXEL NOIR’s soundtrack is composed by SWDTech Games Business Development & Audio Lead Kunal Majmudar, who is best known for his role in the game music cover band, The OneUps, and the remixing group, The Bad Dudes. The soundtrack combines 8-bit and orchestral elements that are heavily influenced by JRPGs of the 8-bit through PlayStation eras. The PIXEL NOIR: Super Mysterious Detective Sampler is currently available on Bandcamp, and can be streamed in its entirety for a taste of what to expect:

As a part of the ongoing PIXEL NOIR Kickstarter campaign, the full soundtrack, which is being painstakingly crafted by Majmudar, will be available in digital format starting at the $25 support level and in physical format at the $100 support level. Multiple other backer rewards are available as well, and fans of this golden age of JRPGs are encouraged to check out the Kickstarter campaign:

dj-cutman-logoHey friends, Cutman here. I’m playing two shows at PAX East this weekend, plus I’ll be cruising around the hallways mixing beats and passing streets (better have your 3DS ;)

First show is Friday night, a party called Joyful Bewilderment, put together by BigSushi.fm and Rogue Ruckus. I’ll be playing sets with Grimecraft, Doomcloud, and Kris Keyser.

Joyful Bewilderment starts at 8PM and is at Central Wharf Co at 160 Milk Street, a 20 minute walk from the convention center. Space is limited so get your tickets now.

I’m mega-stoked to be returning to PAX East for my 4th year. I hope to see a ton of you at the shows and around the convention. I’ll be wearing my helmet, so come say hi! Keep up with my location on Twitter @VideoGameDJ and Instagram.
