This is an all-original album, designed to sound like a video game soundtrack. What started as only music quickly became a full expression of my love for the Pokémon franchise and what it meant to my childhood.

World 1-2: A Historic Collaboration Between Game Composers and Remixers
We’ve seen a lot of video game remix and tribute projects on this site, but nothing quite like World 1-2. This project is massive, a twenty track album of exceptionally written and produced music. But what really makes this special is the roster, it contains some of the hottest game remixers, and some of the most respected game composers.
With names like Danimal Cannon, Benjamin Briggs and halc next to Manami Matsumae (MegaMan), Keiji Yamagishi (Ninja Gaiden), and grammy-nominated Austin Wintory (Journey), this project is nothing short of epic. World 1-2 is produced and directed by Mohammed Taher of Koopa Soundworks, published by GameChops and licensed by Joypad Records.
World 1-2 is now available! Order on Bandcamp and Loudr!
[ Dimensons ] by Auxcide
I first encountered Auxcide shortly after the initial ChipWIN compilation released last summer (has it really almost been a year already?!?). The chiptune prowess of both his Pxl-Bot compilation submission & debut album “Of Atoms and Stardust” impressed me so much that it garnered one of my earlier Friday Freakout reviews (which I miss the fire out of doing, but no time lately!!). Since then Bryan has continued to further develop and grow his artistry into what I feel is one of the premier voices of modern chipmusic. His latest release [ Dimensions ] also via Pxl-Bot (a stellar team-up imho!) is as strong a proof of this opinion as I could possibly even dream to reference. It is straight-up, no hyperbole whatsoever one of the supernova brightest shining examples of the current chipscene.
Seriously, anyone who listens to this & still honestly thinks chiptune is dead can go f*ck a duck.
Chiptunes = WIN: Volume 2 open for submissions!!!
YUP. You read that header correctly:
IT’S TIME FOR CHIPTUNES = WIN VOLUME 2, PEOPLE.
And by volume 2 I mean the true sequel to the wide open, ALL chipartists invited, worldwide, monster compilation that we unleashed on the chipworld last summer.
Yup. That’s right. Open to EVERYBODY. And the submission deadline isn’t until June 17th, so you’ve ALL got plenty of time. ;)
For some details on the project, check out this video of me excitedly rambling about it:
Snarkyass monkey hat…. >_> THAT’S THE LAST TIME I WEAR YOU IN A VIDEO!!! :P
At any rate, for FULL info on the project (including many of the finer details that I failed to mention in the vid :3 ), give the project gdoc a good read here:
Chiptunes = WIN: Volume 2 – Project Details Document
It’s damn hard to believe that it’s been nearly a year since this whole ChipWIN compilation business got started. And I can’t think of a better way to celebrate it than with this.
Enough chat!! LET’S DO IT TO IT, Y’ALL!! ^_^
