Sabrepulse: First Crush EP

1 Comment

I am pleased to announce a new EP from Chiptune legend Sabrepulse. I’ve been waiting for this release since First Crush (featuring Knife City) premiered on Soundcloud this summer. This EP features eight tracks, including a collaboration with UK Chip Superstar Henry Homesweet who performs live with two gameboys and a DJ Mixer (low bit basement). Producing songs with Ableton Live and his Gameboy, Sabrepulse’s music feature relentless detail and masterful production.

Sabrepulse has been releasing chipmusic since 2005 (Discogs), from joyful Chiptune to aggressive ChipBRK, emotional 8-bit ballads to high energy headbanging DnB, Sabrepulse’s style is diverse. The consistency through all of Sabrepulse’s tracks can summed up with a simple phase, this is damn good music.

The title track to this production is my favorite, a genre shattering blend of Chiptune, DnB and Bassmusic, with intricate drum patterns and soaring 8-bit leads. Featuring Knife City (aka LikeLuke, the drummer from Anamanaguchi).

First Crush EP is avaiable for Name Your Price on Bandcamp.

ChipTuesday: Spaceman – Kola Kid

Leave a comment

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.
