Chiptunes on Steroids

Twenty tracks of pixelated nostalgia where Game Boy aesthetics meet the heavy, relaxed swing of dub. Tropical, digital, and surprisingly soulful.

November 22, 2016

A bright, pixelated daydream that balances the joy of play with the steady, grounded pulse of dub.

Moments Worth Listening For

The transition into the heavy, delayed bassline on 'Frantic Factory' that turns a chaotic melody into a steady groove.

The way 'Dawn on Planet Zebes' uses airy, expansive synth pads to create a sense of alien scale within a limited bit-depth.

The unexpected warmth of the accordion melody cutting through the digital square waves in 'Backpacker Chip'.
