Dual-wielding LSDj wizard Electric Children has released a new live mix. Here’s what he has to say about it:

Setlist:
1. Intro
2. I AM
3. Electric Children Sucks
4. Traitor (Live Edit)
5. Like a G6 trans
6. Missing You (EC Letting Go Remix)
7. Arsonist (2012 Version)
8. Car-Jack (2011 Version)
Electric Children brings us a new continuous Chiptune mix performed on a the Nintendo Gameboy. He writes:
Another 1xLSDJ Mix for you to enjoy. As the title implies, this mix is much tighter, more focused, and more coherent than the first-Like ambien for an insomniac.
And enjoy we do. Electric Children is showing us what it means to be a Video Game DJ, mixing a collection of songs on original game hardware. It’s so cool it makes me blog (no joke). Wait, that was a joke. Was it? I really blogged myself into corner here.
Support this artist by heading over to his Bandcamp and picking up his albums, I Am and You Are.
Track list:
1. Ambien
2. Smiletron-Microcosmic (EC Makes You Think Remix)
3. Castlevania-Stalker (EC Holy Water Version)
4. Electric Children’s a Sap
5. Peter Bjorn and John-Young Folks (EC 8bit Arrange Version)
Sometimes our weakness can be an asset. Chipmusician Electric Children has been suffering from sleepless nights as of late, so it should come as no surprise that his latest released is titled Insomniac. It’s a 26 minute 1xLSDj mix. For those not attuned to the chiptuner’s lingo, that means this entire mix was played from a single Nintendo Gameboy.
This is what it means to be a Video Game DJ, in my eyes. For those of you who have seen me live you know I don’t go anywhere without my red macbook pro and kaoss pad. I really admire an artist who can create music like this from limited hardware. After all, that’s the art of the Chiptune, isn’t it?
Post a comment of what “Chiptune” means to you.
