Want a Ton of Video Game Music?
Long coveted secret website of mine KHInsider offers a sh*t ton of video game sounds all for free download. Everything from Armored Core to Zelda 2, all as awesomely cataloged MP3 downloads. In the past I had hidden this site, kept it as a secret bookmark so no one would know the source of my power… but today after waking up to the Zelda II: Adventure of Link town music and having to listen to the entire soundtrack, I knew I had to share this amazing website with the world.

Dj CUTMAN Shocks the DJ World by Releasing Tracks Before The Show
A DJ’s tracklist is a closely guarded secret by most. The common criticism of the DJ simply “playing other people’s songs” is as persistent as it is frustrating for the hard working performer. Most DJs avoid this critique by playing newly released or underground remixes of popular songs. The average club goer can recognize the song’s melody, but these tracks different enough that most of the audience assumes the DJ is manipulating the track in some way. Most aren’t. The technical job of a DJ is playing pre-recorded songs in order to create a desired atmosphere, be it a club, lounge, wedding, or rave. The Art of DJing is in the techniques, media, style, and equipment used.
Dj CUTMAN shocked the DJ World today when he released his complete tracklist, for his upcoming performance at KATSUCON. The performance, a Dubstep and Video Game rave, will be held on Saturday. The convention held annually in National Harbor, Maryland. For more information, visit katsucon’s website.

When asked why he was doing this, Dj CUTMAN responded,
“People like hearing songs they know, right? Well why not let them hear the music before the show. All these tracks were downloaded for free from the internet anyway, might as well share the wealth.”
