Trey Frey – II

Master of LSDj dance music TreyFrey released his second album this month, appropriately titled “Trey Frey II”

Emotive and energetic, this eleven track album was written and performed on a Gameboy running LSDj. With his unique instrumentation and smart programming, Trey Frey stands apart from the ever growing crowd of Gameboy performers. If you ever have a chance to catch Trey live, don’t miss out!

Follow Trey Frey on Facebook, and Soundcloud. And of course, pick up his albums on Bandcamp.

Syphus – pro.tect

pro.tect is a lovingly prepared collection of Syphus’ work from 2007 to 2011 – almost entirely unheard, outside of his live shows. Though the tracks have been mastered for more ear-friendly and mp3-friendly listening, they were all made using AHX (Amiga), HivelyTracker (Amiga), Protracker (Amiga) and FastTracker2/MilkyTracker (PC).

01: AHX/4ch/8kb, 02: AHX/4ch/16kb , 03: FT2/14/81kb, 04: FT2/6ch/25kb, 05: FT2/4ch/44kb, 06:FT2/16/75kb, 07: PT/4ch/12kb, 08: AHX/4ch/20kb, 09: HVL/12ch/13kb, 10: FT2/4ch/36kb, 11: FT2/24ch/255kb, 12: FT2/8ch/35kb, 13: FT2/12ch/94kb, 14: HVL/4ch/6kb
