ChipTuneMusic Vol. 2: DUBTROPOLIS

Dj CUTMAN has released ChipTuneMusic Volume II: Dubtropolis. Defined by undeniable warbles, melodic chiptunes, and driving 8-bit drums, Dubtropolis is a 54 minute aural journey. Mixing tracks from fifteen of the world’s top Chiptune artists, Dj CUTMAN crafts the soundscape of a dystopian world set in the year 20XX. Guest DJ Doctor Z throws down with his signature underground dub. As always offered as a free download from SoundCloud.com.

This is what a SPAMTRON looks like

I always get a kick out of looking at the waveforms for chiptunes, they always seem to look the way they sound. The old chipsets didn’t have the resolution of modern recording equipment, so the waveforms always come out blocky and sweet like a sprite in a nintendo game. Here’s a shot of the waveform from UP, an off-the-wall-hard-core chiptune track by Spamtron. This track is so intense my volume meter barely even moves it just sits right at the top fucking my earholes open. awesome.

And of course, here’s the track.

Spamtron – Never Say Die

Spamtron - Never Say Die (2009)
I had to post about SPAMTRON’s album NEVER SAY DIE, because it is current residing as chief hotness in my headphones. Hard but not overly agressive, NEVER SAY DIE is high-energy electro chip goodness. Spamtron even throws it back with tracks like “Chrono Tripper” and “Wizards and Wozzards.”

I can’t stop listening to the track “No Noobs Pros Only.” Here’s what it sounds like.
