We’ve seen a lot of video game remix and tribute projects on this site, but nothing quite like World 1-2. This project is massive, a twenty track album of exceptionally written and produced music. But what really makes this special is the roster, it contains some of the hottest game remixers, and some of the most respected game composers.
I first encountered Auxcideshortly after the initial ChipWIN compilation released last summer (has it really almost been a year already?!?). The chiptune prowess of both his Pxl-Bot compilation submission & debut album “Of Atoms and Stardust” impressed me so much that it garnered one of my earlier Friday Freakout reviews (which I miss the fire out of doing, but no time lately!!). Since then Bryan has continued to further develop and grow his artistry into what I feel is one of the premier voices of modern chipmusic. His latest release [ Dimensions ] also via Pxl-Bot (a stellar team-up imho!) is as strong a proof of this opinion as I could possibly even dream to reference. It is straight-up, no hyperbole whatsoever one of the supernova brightest shining examples of the current chipscene.
Seriously, anyone who listens to this & still honestly thinks chiptune is dead can go f*ck a duck.
UPDATE: You can now Subscribe on iTunes to This Week In Chiptune’s Podcast, the full shows downloaded right to iTunes!
It’s not exactly Radio, Dj CUTMAN has been using the streaming DJ site Mixify to host a live show each week highlighting new music in the chiptune world. There’s been two episodes so far, and while a regular day of the week hasn’t been decided on for the show, the future seems bright for this as a series.
Two episodes of This Week In Chiptune are already available on Dj CUTMAN’s Soundcloud, Mixcloud, PodOMatic and Mixify pages. If you like keeping up-to-speed on what’s happening in the chiptune world, or just like hearing new music, consider signing up for a Mixify account to be notified when Cutman will be streaming next (it’s super fast via Facebook Connect.)
Yup. That’s right. Open to EVERYBODY. And the submission deadline isn’t until June 17th, so you’ve ALL got plenty of time. ;)
For some details on the project, check out this video of me excitedly rambling about it:
Snarkyass monkey hat…. >_> THAT’S THELAST TIME I WEAR YOU IN A VIDEO!!! :P
At any rate, for FULL info on the project (including many of the finer details that I failed to mention in the vid :3 ), give the project gdoc a good read here:
It’s damn hard to believe that it’s been nearly a year since this whole ChipWIN compilation business got started. And I can’t think of a better way to celebrate it than with this.
