POKÉP is Pokemon concept album. Happy Hunting!
Grimecraft teams up with GameChops to deliver the most bass-tastic Pokémon remix collection that ever was. Originally planned as a solo EP by Grimecraft, once the other video game remixers got wind of POKEP, the album turned into a full-blown VGM mixtape. Featured artists include Dj CUTMAN, James Landino, ABSRDST and Kevin Villecco in collabs, remixes, and original productions Pokemon music.
This mixtape is largely inspired by Grimecraft’s copy of POKEMON X and Y, but some tracks pay tribute to the animated Pokémon theme song and the original games for Nintendo Gameboy, Pokemon Red and Blue. Download POKÉP from Bandcamp

The Final Fantasy follow up album to Mykah’s Triple Triad,
“Booster Pack” has been delayed. It contains more remixes from Final Fantasy VI, VII and VIII by other GameChops artists, including edits and alternate mixes by Mykah
Originally planned for release on August 6th via Loudr.fm, the album has been pushed back to incorporate new remixes by Boston based DJ and electronic musician Grimecraft.
Those who attended PAX-East this year had the opportunity to catch a secret DJ set between Grimecraft and the mysterious Dj Dr Wily in the MAGFest JamSpace. Grimecraft’s potion of the set is embedded below.
While it’s never fun to hear about an exciting new album getting delayed, the folks at GameChops have been working hard this summer and have already released a tremendous amount of new music. Stay tuned to this blog, or follow GameChops on Facebook and Twitter for updates. I’ll leave you with this gif from PAX-East:
