I had this idea I stole from myself, and I’m going to run with it. While working over at Moving Box Studios I was creating a weekly blog post I called “Track Tuesday” where I would post a new mix I was working on out of the recording studio. Well, since the new year happened I’ve been running all over the east coast and haven’t had time to produce any new artists out of the Moving Box. So I’m transferring the idea over here and calling it ChipTuesday, where I’m going to go on 8bitcollective and post an easily accessible track from their weekly chart over here. Yeah, I guess it’s kind of lame… if by lame you mean pretty neato keen gang. [alright, that last part was actually lame. way to go me.]
I’m happy to be posting this track, a Chiptune version of the classic Christmas carol O Holy Night. RushJet1 does an excellent job as usual, with an upbeat and rocking Chip cover with depth in both composition and mood. I really like this tune. Merry Christmas.
What’s with me not posting Chiptunes as much as I used to? Well frak that, this new tune from 8bc artist FearOfDark is super great so I’m posting it. I’ve been a fan of this guys lighthearted mood and his deep composition. In my DJing, i’m learning FearOfDark is one of the gateway chiptuners, getting people who may not enjoy (or be able to handle) chiptunes into the genre. Enjoy the tune.
Chip-Musician Je Mappelle, aka Lewis Maguire released a new demo on 8bc today that I like so much it moved me to post some of his music. A LSDJ artist, Je Mappelle continues to release music that pushes the Chipmusic genre forward. Enjoy his new song, your, on 8bitcollective, and listen to a few of my favorites below.
