Nerdcore rapper MegaRan is going on tour across the United States and the UK this August and September. The self-proclaimed “Teacher, Rapper, Hero” combines chiptune video game soundtracks with hiphop instrumentals to create a unique and exciting form of positive rap music. This tour is to promote his upcoming release RNDM which drops on September 15th.

Nerdcore Instrumentals 2: Dj CUTMAN + Sammus release Metroid album
It’s the second collaborative album of beats from Sammus and Dj CUTMAN. Re-worked and remastered versions of the instrumental tracks from Sammus’ nerdcore Metroid album, ANOTHER M, available here: bit.ly/1ohwo9W
A note from Dj CUTMAN:
An instrumental mix can be so much more than just a track without vocals. With this volume of Nerdcore Instrumentals, I wanted to re-create the atmosphere of Metroid with each track. To create an immersive and full-sounding experience, I utilized an army of audio processors and created a unique soundscape for each beat. I hope it makes a suitable soundtrack for deep cavern exploration and alien extermination.

PAX EAST 2013 IS NIGH (March 22-24th, i.e. THIS WEEKEND!!!)
AND I’M WAY TOO EXCITED TO TYPE UP A COHERENT INTRO TO THIS POST SO STRAIGHT TO THE RELEVANT DEETS:
Straight from the mouth of MAGFest’s very own Nick the Newbie:
“What in the ever loving shit is “Jamspace”? Jamspace is music all day every day during pax. We’ve got chiptunes, live video game cover bands, DJs, and even open jam time with provided instruments. We’ve got guitar, bass, drums, and keyboard for playing, or you can even bring your own instruments! Follow @MAGFest on twitter for updates of what’s going on all weekend.”
Fri-Sun schedule:
Friday, 3-5pm: The World Is Square, Random aka MegaRan
Saturday, 3-5pm: Lords of Thunder, Armcannon

Regarding the bulk of the scheduled chipmusic shows happening in the Jamspace…

A very first for PAX East, the CHIPstage is essentially a separate Jamspace for chipartists & Djs! Bring your chippy and/or electronic jams & showcase ’em LIVE AT PAX!!!
On top of that, there’ll also be a good chance of any or all of the following happening at CHIPstage:
- random gaming &/or tourneys

- really stupid dance offs (Hoodie shuffle comin’ ‘atcha! 8)
- VERY SPECIAL music events & guests
- WHO KNOWS WTF ELSE?!?
In summation, NONSTOP ZOMBOCON. 8)
