Club Needlemouse, a 9 track Sonic the Hedgehog tribute is due out on October 13th

I’m very excited to announce the upcoming release of the latest album from my label GameChops, Club Needlemouse. Titled after the code-name for Sonic the Hedgehog back in his early development ( Mr. Needlemouse ), this album takes inspiration from games throughout the Sonic series. It’s created by italian producer RobKTA (Pronouced Rob kay-tee-aee), and it features live instrumentation alongside dance music production.

What’s extra exciting about this album is that it’s done in the style of 90s club and house music. Very different from some of the other GameChops releases, that have gained popularity from a modern EDM sound, like Triforce of Bass and Trash FM.

I think this departure to a different style of dance music is a welcome one, and a sound I personally enjoy. I could listen to this album on repeat for days… it’s being mastered by bLiNd and myself. The mixes feel exciting and fresh while keeping with a more classic aesthetic. I’m particularly happy to hear some tunes from the early Sega Genesis Sonic games re-done in the electronic style of that time. Very cool.

Here’s a youtube trailer I put together featuring a mashup  I did of one song and the classic vocal line from Stardust’s “Music Sounds Better With You” Just goes to show you how true these mixes are to the classic house sound. Club Needlemouse is out on GameChops on October 13th 2013.

The Briggs Effect 2

Hey everyone, Ben Briggs here! I’ve just released my latest album, “The Briggs Effect 2“, chock full of video game remixes and assorted chiptuney goodness for your earholes. Seriously, there’s a lot to go around here… Super Mario 64, Super Mario RPG, Harvest Moon 64, Golden Sun, Mega Man 2… the list goes on!
Most of these tracks were requested/earned by my fans and friends, be it from fundraiser donations or public Facebook votes, and the others are simply shining examples of my work over the years. Covering a wide range of styles, I’ve gathered these songs onto one album in order to more fully expand my discography, and to provide a convenient medium for discovering and downloading my best music. Many of these tracks have not been available for download before today, so be sure to jump on this opportunity to finally get your hands on some of my hottest new remixes!

Before I go, I’d like to add a personal note: Thank you to all my fans for their continuing love and support; without you guys I wouldn’t be anywhere near where I am now. If you’re a new listener and you like what you hear, please consider donating via PayPal or purchasing the album on Bandcamp to support me and my dream of surviving as a full-time musician.

With love,
-Ben

Triple Triad is now available from GameChops

Final Fantasy is widely known for exceptional characters, superb storytelling, and memorable music. The music is so loved that many groups have adapted it for live concerts, including five distinct tours over the past decade. Today, the team of electronic dance musicians at GameChops have released “Triple Triad,” a twelve-track remix album playing tribute to Final Fantasy and the music of series composer Nobuo Uematsu.

Spearheaded by UK producer Mykah, Triple Triad takes inspiration from three classic games in the Final Fantasy series, VI, VII, and VIII. To many, these games were an introduction into the series. To others, these games serve as a fond memory of when story, mood and music took precedent over graphics, hardware and spectacle.

Triple Triad contains a multitude of genres and styles to fit any electronic appetite; styles range from latin dancehall to drum ‘n bass to house and dubstep. Mykah shows his versatility as a producer, while the compositions of Mr. Uematsu are proven, yet again, to be powerful in any context. Whether you’re a long-time fan of the series or a casual listener of electronic music, Triple Triad is something special.

Listen and download it today from GameChops.

A_Rival TRUTHCANNON

Composer for Street Fighter X MegaMan A_Rival has just released his full-length album TRUTHCANNON. This ten track chiptune / electrohouse album is concentrated was EDM bangers.

Track after track hit hard with polished production and inventive sound design. Tracks like Phoenix and OMF speak more to A_Rival’s chiptune influence and experience with game music, while tracks like DEAD are gritty and vicious dance music, with haunting melodies and screaming synth-work.

Three remixes push the album to 13 tracks, including GameChops artist bLiNd and chiptune legend Trash80.

For only $5, TRUTHCANNON is definitely worth picking up.
