Red Bull Music Academy to launch Documentary on Video Game Music

RBMA, or Red Bull Music Academy, is launching a new 6-episode documentary series on video game music on September 4th, via their website. Check out the trailer below:

Porter Robinson’s Essential Mix features tracks by Anamanaguchi, George and Jonathan, Infinity Shred

It’s time to dust off your gameboys and flash your carts, Porter Robinson just debuted his 2014 Essential Mix on BBC Radio 1 and featured tracks by chiptune artists like Anamanaguchi, George and Jonathan, and Infinity Shred. The mix opens with a track from The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask OST.

Chiptune music can be heard in both electronic and mainstream music for decades, but only now are we seeing the names of chiptune acts being featured in sets by world-renown djs like Porter. Thanks for the plays, brother!

Hear the mix from BBC’s website.

Internet Meme Album from ChipWIN | Chiptunes = #SrsBsns

Sup y’all? Prez Hoodie here with another fantastic Chiptunes = WIN compilation announcement!  Of course I’m talking about our latest April Fool’s release….

Art by the always amazing Nate Horsfall of www.lightningarts.com.

‘Chiptunes = #SrsBsns’ (Serious Business) features 22 brand new meme-centric tracks (yes, they’re all written about/referencing memes :3 ) from a VERY talented array of chipartists spanning the globe. The premise is ridiculous, but the execution is damn near flawless (these cats ran with the crazy concept so very hard!).  Per the usual, artwork by Foxdragon, track order by Kubbi, and mastering by videogamedj.com’s own Dj CUTMAN.

Why? Because Chiptunes = Serious Business, duh. 8-)

As always, stream/download/donate/share the goodness via the Bandcamp embed below!
