This is one of those tracks I had to just run back over and over again when I first heard it. Actually, I’m playing it over and over right now writing this post. With the simple description of “Bedtime stories”, 8bitcollective user sylcmyk has created a very unique, fun, and lighthearted tune integrating smart production and some nostalgic samples. Have a listen below, and be sure to like and comment over on 8bc.
Remember when I used to post a new chiptune every tuesday? Well somewhere between freelancing design gigs and trying to miraculously work on music full time, I forgot what day of the week it was. For like months.
But that’s not nearly as interested as this tune, by Kola Kid. It’s a very diverse tune, elements of chiptune, break-core, with some overtones of emotive rock. I don’t know if that really makes sense, but this track is so good when I got locked out of my apartment I listened to it on my phone like ten times.

If you haven’t heard Electric Children it’s time to change that. Electric Children has taken Chipmusic to a new level (no gamer puns intended, seriously) with dancefloor smashing mixing and arranging skills. Utalizing two Nintendo Gameboys and LSDJ software, Electric Children creates House, Electro and Dancehall style music with incredible detail and technique. To put it simply, Electric Children rocks.
Download his EP for free or kick him a few bucks for a wealth of bonus material over at Bandcamp. You can also download even more of his music over on 8BitCollective
