Philly Chip all-star Chipocrite has just released a six track chiptune tribute to The Big Lebowski titled: 8-Bit Lebowski: 100% Electronic. I had the honor of working with Chipocrite to produce and master this album, the entire thing written and performed on a single Nintendo Gameboy.

“8-Bit Lebowski: 100% Electronic” is a tribute to several seemingly unrelated entities that are, individually, quite important to me: chip music, one of the greatest films of all time, White Russians, flamenco re-arrangements of classic rock tunes, fake pornos, Kenny Rogers, and so much more. Although I originally performed these songs as a one-off live set at Lebowski Fest Philadelphia 2011, I quickly realized that taken as a whole, they actually make up quite a comprehensive little release. I feel like it really ties my discography together. So here you have it today, to listen at your own leisure, whether through your car’s tape deck (provided it’s not stolen), with your significant other (provided she’s not kidnapped) or during a chilled-out rug meditation session (provided the rug, also, is not stolen).

Ubiktune’s new release has me in awe. We’ve covered some of this netlabel’s other releases in the past, but nothing has quite struck at a chord with me like this release (oh man, that was a music pun… someone summon brentalfloss)
