Every member of The J. Arthur Keenes Band have put their heads together to bring you this long-overdue release of 7 gameboy-based pop songs. Smothered in nearly more overdubs than the substandard system it was recorded on could process, Computer Savvy offers a hazy blend of the archaic sounds you know and love with as many other sounds as could fit.

PB008| Andrew Kilpatrick- One Day Later…
With all its bleeps, buzzes and bloops in perfect order, the third installment from Pxl-Bot’s very own Andrew Kilpatrick is nothing short but jaw droppingly brilliant.Bringing incredibly catchy melodies, foot stomping good beats and and an overall finish which leaves you breathless and on your knees in front of it, this EP is yet another masterful release from Andrew. Inspired by a forum post at ChipMusic.org this EP was written and composed in just one day. One Day Later… draws you in with its almost story like tracks and once ensnared you never want to leave your prison cell of melodies again. Also featuring a brilliantly done cover of Wintersun’s ‘Beyond The Dark Sun’, cover art by the very talented Holy Konni and three bonus tracks all thrown in for good measure, this EP is definitely a must have for chip fanatics.

kraettz – Battle Ground Microchip
Throughout 2008 and 2009 a series of amazing intricate LSDJ breakcore tracks were uploaded to 8bitcollective and largely ignored in favour of the usual Game Boy melodic techno. Kittenrock has persuaded kraettz to re-record these breathtaking tracks as a proper release. Featuring exquisite drum programming and excellent glitchy sound design, this release seriously pushes the boundaries of what should be possible with a couple of Game Boys. (i submitted this a few days ago, but seems to have been missed? )
