It’s been six months since our last episode, but the Gamewave Podcast is pleased to bring you another guest hosted episode from Steve Jenkins of Crystal Labs. This mixtape features over 40 minutes of top-drawer tracks from artists including trash80, Linde, Jay Tholen and Spiny Norman, perfect for your chiptune-themed gym workout or for listening to whilst relaxing on the beach this summer.
And there’s also some good news regarding the long-term future of the Gamewave Podcast. Now that Joe has finished his degree he’s planning to head out to Japan this summer to start work there. However, having met up with members of Spheres of Chaos recently, the guys are plotting to begin recording episodes again over Skype soon. Look out for new shows from this autumn/fall.
CR3-1000: Chromix and Kris Keyser – Symmetry
Long Island chip master Chromix and New Jersey-based upstart Kris Keyser team up through the magic of the internets to deliver you Symmetry, an 8 bit, up-tempo, head bob-inducing 3 track EP. Testing the limits of their Game Boy sound chips, our heroes combine their powers for the house-on-speed epic Locust Manor, while spinning melodies and teched out rhythms stream in and out of solo tracks that open and close the EP.
A chunky great slab of epic relentless dystopian Game Boy techno. While it occasionally strays into hypermelodic territory, it is quickly saved by inventive sound design, some wonky mess and the sense of space that using two synced Game Boys can provide.
