Discovered this post on Ableton Live Tutorial and just had to share it. iZotope Ozone is popular mastering software that I’ve used in the studio, and it’s always great to see someone’s method to improve one’s own skills. Check out the videos and be sure to head over to Ableton-Live-Tutorial.com for more great information.

I’m a big fan of hiphop, and Zelda, as it should come to no surprise for those famailar with some of my projects. Flyrule is a near-masterpiece to me. With MPC Style beat-chopping and a fresh take on the classic soundtrack, beat-maker Shag takes us to a Legend of Zelda we haven’t heard before.
This is a compilation of Zelda beats I’ve made over the past 6 months or so. This game defined my childhood. I spent countless hours surrounding myself in the game and it’s music, so it’s only natural that I pay homage to it in the best way I know how.

Available from Bandcamp at a Name-Your-Price, this album is definitely worth a listen. Check it out in the player below and head over to Bandcamp and support Shag if you like it.
Sometimes our weakness can be an asset. Chipmusician Electric Children has been suffering from sleepless nights as of late, so it should come as no surprise that his latest released is titled Insomniac. It’s a 26 minute 1xLSDj mix. For those not attuned to the chiptuner’s lingo, that means this entire mix was played from a single Nintendo Gameboy.
This is what it means to be a Video Game DJ, in my eyes. For those of you who have seen me live you know I don’t go anywhere without my red macbook pro and kaoss pad. I really admire an artist who can create music like this from limited hardware. After all, that’s the art of the Chiptune, isn’t it?
Post a comment of what “Chiptune” means to you.
On to the mix:
