New Lowtoy release ready to download!
Just to remind us all that Spain exists, Degon (From Distortled Box Crew) brings us this Gameboy release.
Degon’s first release takes advantage of his disorder and bad habits during the musical elaboration to derivate inedit lives into new songs and corrupted songs into new tracks. Ideal for driving a high speed hovercraft wielding a crossbow or for spending long periods in outer space. Created in 2011 with the pure sound of a Game Boy DMG and a LSDJ.

Jay Tholen’s increasingly eclectic body of work touches upon the chip music world in the same way a master chef touches upon a spice in a four course meal. The five tracks here in ‘Vainglory’, his first EP for Pause, dance effortlessly from melody to noise, from ecstatic joy to existential dread, in tessellations so subtle, so intricate, that at the end of its slight 20 minutes you will marvel at the distance you’ve sonically covered.
Why no blockquote? Copy written by yours truly. Yay!

Impostor Nostalgia is the debut album by video game music composer Big Giant Circles. It is a collection of retro inspired electronic-fused chiptune(ish) music featuring the talents of many amazing people from the video game music community, including C418 (Minecraft), Souleye (VVVVVV), Disasterpeace (FEZ), Alex Brandon (Deus Ex), Mick Gordon (Need for Speed Shift), zircon (Monkey Island 2) and many more.
A disgrace to true chip artists everywhere, this album tries hard to disguise it’s tracks in varying degrees of chiptune elements to varying degrees of success. The important thing is that the music is saturated in the flavors of not only many classic game soundtracks you know and love, but also the more modern edge of electronic music. And most importantly of all, it’s fun :)
