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.
On Saturday, May 21st, The Rapture failed to take the lives of all humans on earth. There are a number of theories on why Harold Camping’s evangelical nutjobbery was nothing more than internet hubub, but I’d like to credit the hard work and dedication of chipmusician Smiletron.
Smiletron’s new EP, Forward is a progressive 5-Track EP which takes us on a journy through an evolving soundscape through high energy chiptune music and etherial, moving moods. From a production standpoint, Smiletron has stood tall with some of the best-sounding Chipmusic available, and FORWARD is no change. The EP is offered for free through Smiletron.org.
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
