A_Rival: TMNT 2012 (EP)

Leave a comment

ChipHop godfather A_Rival brings us three tracks EP that take the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to whole new places.

Also known as PlanetSkill, A_Rival is an electro producer from California, who has been producing music and video game remixes since 2001. His new EP is a labor of love, a tribute to the four most radical amphibians in history. A_Rival, a huge turtle fan himself, tells us “every single incarnation I love. even the really bad shit. I feel like the tv show theme song is one of the best themes ever created And the Konami Arcade game is my favorite adaption.”

And the theme holds it’s own in remix form as well. With strong arrangement and a hard-hitting production, TMNT is a force to be reckoned with. Taking the memorable theme and infusing it with a healthy dose of drum & basss, A_Rival has levelup’d the classic TMNT theme in a way that’s all his own.

The EP continues to I Wanna Be a Ninja Turtle, a nerdcore tribute to the TMNT. A story of a kid who wants to grow up to be a crime fighting turtle, the source material is taken from the Nintendo game. Check it out below, it’s bad ass:

TMNT 2012 is available from A_Rival’s Bandcamp as the ever-awesome “Pay What You Want.” You can also follow A_Rival on Twitter and Facebook.

Nerdcore rapper MC Chris recently held a public remix competition for his new album Race Wars. I took the oppertunity to put his acapella tracks together with some of the instrumentals I had been working on for the new volume of GameChops slated for release on January 5th 2012. All the mixes are downloadable and streaming via Soundcloud.

Check out the tracks and remember to favorite, share, and post comments!

Big Giant Chrismas EP!

Leave a comment

Composer Jimmy “Big Giant Circles” Hinson brings us some festive chiptunes perfect for bringing in the season. Created in the vein of his wonderful full-length Impostor Nostalgia, these tunes are light-hearted, upbeat, and definitely fun. I must admit, I am not much for seasonal music. As a kid I used to get motion sick on our annual drives to see the family, which resulted in a conditioned nausea when I hear Christmas music (too much Gameboy in the car, no doubt.) I am pleased to report that this album, with stealar arrangements and mixing, is not only allowing me to enjoy this wonderful tunes, but will also breathes new life in my holiday travels (and hopefully yours too!).

My favorite track would have to be Circle of the Bells, an chiptune / orchestral take on Carol of the Bells. It’s epic, emotive and genuine, as much as I’ve come to expect from Big Giant Circles. As an extra special gift, follow @bigGIANTcircles on twitter for a chance to grab a free download code!

The album is released by Ubiktune and is available from Bandcamp. Happy Holidays!
