As some of you may know, I’m a hiphop engineer by day. I know this is a chiptune / video game blog, but i gotta shout out this new kind of hip-hop thats evolving in the wake of the dubstep explosion. Artists are calling it “Dub-Hop” and I agree. this music is tough sounding, upbeat, and most importantly, new. I can’t wait for five years from now when we’re sick of music that sounds like this. right now tho, it’s fire.

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.]
This week it’s a new track from one of my favorite Chiptune artists Coda called The Magnificent Meat Shower. Have a listen!
