Alih is my favorite of the bunch, mostly for the baffled scener comments.
As October has ended – and new releases kept flowing, it’s an appropriate moment to cover some of these. Here’s a list of demos and pixel graphics.

Videovalvontaa – The End is HNGH
Album download to follow shortly, but its chip + other stuff dance insanity.
Nab it early, often.
Almost 2 years in the making this 7 song / 35 minute album is a journey from claustrophic nightmarish visions in the spirit of John Carpenter and other synthhorror to soothing sounds that you hear when the end is near. Some tracks are suitable for dancefloors, some for situations where you are chased by 100 meth-addict zombies. Everything recorded from real hardware, and that list is huge, there’s couple of Roland grooveboxes and drummachines, some Korg’s, DMG with Nanoloop, DS with different softwares, some Casios, some Yamahas..the list goes on & on.
So, this weekend, play this fucker and have a nice Halloween!

The J. Arthur Keenes Band – Pamplemousse
If you haven’t check out this artist, this new release on Pause Netlabel should sufficiently introduce you to his awesomeness, and make his upcoming Blip appearance all that more anticipated. From Pause:
From the icy depths of Canada comes “Pamplemousse”, a loving tribute to the noble grapefruit. The J. Arthur Keenes Band skillfully mixes the tribal rhythms of their native Ontario with modern sounds in this fun-filled, action-packed romp for the whole family.

Pterodactyl Squad – A video game music netlabel – Emanon
Emanon is the faux soundtrack to a futuristic RPG racing game that would likely have been played in the 90s in one of those fancy-looking arcade racing booths. Using this concept as a base, lpower took some of his favourite samples from various consoles and synths and used them to craft the music which would play during the racing levels and cut scenes. Typically upbeat, melodic and intelligent, Emanon is a rich exploration of sounds from years gone by.
