Tettix – A New Challenger!

I’ve been reading through some of my old posts and realizing I need to be less excited and more coherent when I write on VideoGameDJ. So I think I’m doing good with this one, presented a Chiptune album by Tettix (formally known as Cicada). This album features prominate chiptunes artists Alex Mauer, Derris-Kharlan, Disasterpeace, Hélas Techne and Minusbaby for a rock solid street-fighter themed album. It’s a free download, so go get it!

Electrochip “Elements” by Superspink



Superspink: Elements
While fumbling around for hours setting up the Dj CUTMAN MySpace, I ran across Superspink’s MySpace. I had heard a collab with Rhodo4 on 8bitcollective, so I was excited to hear what Superspink brought on their own. I was instantly drawn to the sweet anime-style art on Superspink’s page. That allure was quickly overshadowed by the Superspink’s high-energy, electro chippish music with a lot of atmosphere and great production. Better yet, Superspink offers two 5-track albums for free download. Very cool.

Spamtron – Never Say Die

Spamtron - Never Say Die (2009)
I had to post about SPAMTRON’s album NEVER SAY DIE, because it is current residing as chief hotness in my headphones. Hard but not overly agressive, NEVER SAY DIE is high-energy electro chip goodness. Spamtron even throws it back with tracks like “Chrono Tripper” and “Wizards and Wozzards.”

I can’t stop listening to the track “No Noobs Pros Only.” Here’s what it sounds like.

Both of Spamtron’s albums are available for free on his website, iAmSpamtron.com.

Good News, Everyone!

Good news, everyone!
Sounds From 20XX has been re-re-remastered and now sounds better than ever. I took all my crazy stereo-imaging and multiband compression off that jazz and let the Chips play through the way the artists intended. I don’t know why I was screwin’ with all that stuff (i think because it made it sound hype)

More news, nobody! There’s also a real, live, not-on-soundcloud MP3 for your download pleasure. 320kbps so you know it’s good.
