The Stupendous Return of 8BC TRACKS OF THE WEEK 09 DX

By Peter Swimm, on January 22nd, 2009

Hey Guys, sorry for the extended delay post blip, but here are some of the neat tracks I found in the last week or so on TEH H8BITCOLLECTION.

For the week of 1/13-1/22

failotron – Quater Of A Century – 3 hour hardstyle challenge

A kind of football hooligan/ Handel’s messiah concoction with soaring buildups and devestating breakdowns.

wedanced – The last symphony of December 21 2012 and 22 seconds after 48 hour challenge.

The ending is brilliant. Why do concept tracks seem to bring out the best in 8BC?

MattWilson – How To Kill a Man From Outer Space

A little retro, a little modern, manages to capture the Konami sound without being stale.

benanderson89 – Take The Money

I have to agree with Randoms comments, old school but tasty.

solo karier – darah muda

Catchy cat signing a nice doowop melodies caught my ear pretty quickly. I wonder if its a cover like their other songs seem to be? If not I hope they continue working on this direction.

BSK – Beijing Moon

What more needs to be say, other than BSK!! BSK!!! forever…

486 –8ECK-Gamma Ray

Beck and I have had our problems in the past, but this catchy remix of a great song is very well executed.

This Week at the Collective IV – Back in the Habbit

By slorrin, on November 18th, 2008

Welcome to another edition of “This week at the collective IV – part 4”. I have to say, based on listening to about 160 songs this week, about 150 of which were NL 1.3 and LSDJ 3.7.5 (update?) i have decided that after this week, i am not going to listen to any more gameboy songs, unless they were done in gameboy MML.

That being said, this week is set up based on audio technology lines. Get on your lines, and insert your audio technology! HERE — WE — GO!

This week at the Collective II

For the Week of 10/28-11/03

“Lets try out a new feature picking five tracks that grabbed our attention over here at TCTD from the 8BITCollective. Here they are in no particular order.” – The Boss

This week, i will bring you what i found to be the most Slorricious of all the songs. There were many songs that vied for the best five, but only four actually made it. Yet there are some honorable mentions. You’ll see what i mean in a moment. This week seems to have been a slow week. Don’t agree? Post a comment.

This week at the Collective I

By Peter Swimm, on October 29th, 2008

For the Week of 10/20-10/27

Lets try out a new feature picking five tracks that grabbed our attention over here at TCTD from the 8BITCollective. Here they are in no praticular order.

“Space Race (adlib)” by oxygenstar

Another great track from the recent spike in fm based tracks on the collective, the track is a mindblowing melange of sound design, driving rhythmic elements and great melodic elements. Cheers to the fm revival!.

“Gajanana” by Bud Melvin

Bud takes a terrible 8BC trend, the posting of ill advised and poorly made “my first tracks” and knocks it out of the park here with his janky but pretty tune evoking a quiet day in a Lewis Carroll garden.

“From the Ghetto with Love” by Crazy Q

Another ringer, this old but new to 8BC track is classic Crazy Q. Fat bass lines, and dancing arps mangy stay firmly on the awesome side of the fruity euro chipstyle.

“Lock” by Dise-a.g.m

Dise-a.g.m. has been making songs I like for a while, so its good to seem him get props for this solid track. Stick around for the back half for an accomplished take on the endless chip solo style.

“Ottomania” by Broomlinde

Boomlinde brings this infectiously fun track with its gypsy tech beats and claps. Perhaps the biggest knock you can justify on 8bc is a lack of diversity so special note must be made of those who both create great tracks which are ass kicking AND unique sounding.

So that was easy huh? With over 160 tracks release in a week it was pretty tough getting down to just five, so please post any ones I might’ve missed in the comments. See you next week!
