Henry Homesweet – Essential Chip Mix 2011

The new Henry Homesweet Essential Chip Mix is out! Released by Bleepstreet Records, this mix will take you through some of the best Chiptune tracks of this year! Listen now, man, we’re waisting time!

Henry Homesweet is a British Chiptune artist who currently uses Nanoloop on two Gameboy Advances. I saw him DESTROY EVERYTHING at this years BlipFestival, including ending his set by pouring FourLoko on his head and tearing the cart out of his gameboy. If this was twitter the only suitable tag would be #badass

You can listen to more Henry Homesweet and Bleepstreet Records on their respective Soundcloud pages, add Henry on MySpace and Facebook to support this radical dude. His website is a trip, and worth checking out if you’re into old hardware induced insanity, babes, and ball-pits [ I mean, who isn’t? ]

Onto the mix! Full tracklist right here.
