Chiptune Awesomeness: Chiptune Megamix
Barcode | 12:30 PM on 03.07.2009 2 comments




Roughly a year ago, I was looking online for some more chiptune music to listen to. This was shortly before I discovered GirlJoy. The Megamix is roughly one hour and fifteen minutes long. This is certainly something to listen to when you're driving for a long period or time or you got some friends coming over for something and you need background music.


Go ahead, start listening. The intro might be lame, the but rest is golden.

The Megamix features chiptuners known as: 4Bit Bonsai, DJ Fhantom, Eric Chiptune, Fighter X, Fish and Chip 8 Bit, Henry Homesweet, IPAGHOST, Kendo, Lazy Comet, Monster Plastic, Myst, Rainbow Jump Orchestra, Sabrepulse, and Teethandfeet. The mix is well done due to Radio Sctovoid's attempt to mesh together all the songs with his equalizer and some other tools he uses. Some parts of this mix literally gets me thinking of some games that I've played before. At one point it literally sounds like a song from one of the Sonic games redone. I can't figure out which one, but it starts playing at 39 minutes. For those who are checking out what I'm saying, give it 2 minutes so you can hear the beat and hear the transition. I'm sure that once you hear the transition you'll know what I am talking about, you can't miss it.

The Megamix is free for download. The webpage for it is right here.



I've enjoyed this Megamix and I feel that it is a must have for anyone who enjoys Chiptunes (I know you guys are out there.) Heck, even Mr. Destructoid was at a Lo-Tek Resistance Event.

I just started listening to Chiptune music the other day. Shirobon and Sabrepulse are my favourites.
Awesome genre of music though, I love it.
