Hello friends! I am happy to present to you my EP ‘Back Tracking’.

In this release i journey back into the sounds of Chiptune (Using a Commodore 64 and a Gameboy) and blend it with futuristic electronic sounds!

It has been a lot of fun to make and a big thanks to everyone who has supported my music and to my friends and family, you are all a great inspiration.

I hope you enjoy the music! :)

Each track was made using at least one Gameboy AGS or DMG running a variation of the program LSDJ. Combined with an Arduinoboy, various other hardware was used including: a Roland Gaia, Arturia MiniBrute, Korg Microkorg, Yamaha PSR-500, Korg ES-1 MKII, Korg mini KP, KP3, and KP4.

Huge thanks go out to the entire 8static, Clipstream, and Chiptunes = Win staff, Brit Rodriguez, Johnny Wilson, Curtis Ware, and everyone else who’s supported me on this crazy blue dot.

The follow-up to my 2011 album of cover songs.

Maverick is a chaser ride back to my childhood when I would play Mega Man X with my big bro. Tracking these songs brought back some of the feelings of wonder and dread from the MMX series. It was a challenge working complex 16-bit melodies into one LSDj cart but I some how pulled it off. My hope was to pay homage to the composers who inspired me.

Chiptune Covers of R&B songs! Lots of singing, rapping, guitar solos, etc. Guests ranging from nerdcore artists to soulful folk.

In near earth orbit, a machine waits. It has been there longer than civilization. It has been there longer than time. Its only purpose is to wait, and to listen, for The Event: COLOR MECHANICA

Encounters is the debut album from Zantilla aka Adrian Shegstad, that focuses on J. Allen Hynek’s Scale of Close Encounters which relates to everything from UFO sightings, to abductions, and even communication between humans and extraterrestrial beings.

To paint this musical picture, Adrian chose a wide array of FM sounds, with some 2A03 additions. This, in combination with modern metal recording techniques and live drum sounds, give Encounters a very rich sonic palette using simple textures.

MeowMeow & BowWow is the second EP in the series of video game tribute albums by Dj CUTMAN and Spamtron. Their first collaboration was Bagu and the Riverman, which later became the seed for The Triforce of Bass. Now, the duo has turned their focus to the classic title for Nintendo Gameboy, Link’s Awakening.

Dj CUTMAN writes: We selected seven songs that represented the significant steps in Link’s journey, from awakening on the mysterious island of Koholint, to rediscovering his legendary weapon, traversing the country side, traveling through forests and dungeons, and climbing a mountain to meet the fabled Wind Fish.

If you’re familiar with the game, you’ll take extra pleasure in listening to the album in-sequence. If you didn’t play Link’s Awakening, I hope you can still derive the sense of adventure and excitement the game created for me.

Professor Shyguy will stream a live performance, including a chiptune cover chosen by the top 3 contributors.

The narratively driven tracks of this release were written over a span of several years - from about 2008 to 2012. Track 6 was a 48-hr challenge from the fantastic Little-Scale and includes vocals from the Drunken Hokkaido Chamber Choir in addition to some Atari Punk Console. All tracks were tracked on and recorded from LSDJ on DMG and GBC with the exception of Murky Marsh Hustle which was tracked on and recorded from Adlib Tracker on a Libretto.

Greetz to all the amazing chip people that touch the chip scene in whatever way they do - you keep us all inspired and push us to make better jams and be better artists!
