2014 was a great year for Chiptune music. Here’s two epic mixes spanning almost four hours of new chiptune music. First is by Gameboy legend Henry Homesweet with his Essential Chip Mix 2014.
Next is my This Week in Chiptune New Years Blowout mix! It’s nearly two hours of my favorite tracks and remixes I’ve played on TWiC:
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.
The new Henry Homesweet Essential Chip Mix is out! Released by Bleepstreet Records, this mix will take you through some of the best Chiptune tracks of this year! Listen now, man, we’re waisting time!
Henry Homesweet is a British Chiptune artist who currently uses Nanoloop on two Gameboy Advances. I saw him DESTROY EVERYTHING at this years BlipFestival, including ending his set by pouring FourLoko on his head and tearing the cart out of his gameboy. If this was twitter the only suitable tag would be #badass
You can listen to more Henry Homesweet and Bleepstreet Records on their respective Soundcloud pages, add Henry on MySpace and Facebook to support this radical dude. His website is a trip, and worth checking out if you’re into old hardware induced insanity, babes, and ball-pits [ I mean, who isn’t? ]
Onto the mix! Full tracklist right here.
