Motorway by Fear of Dark

TrueStar and Producer Jake are big fans of Fear of Dark. When they found out he’s releasing an album, they jumped at the opportunity to host a listening party for it.  Fear of Dark doesn’t disappoint!  Ten tracks of sweet, sweet chiptune….which you can own for the minimum of one pound.  Check it out on Ubiktune!

On a side note, if you’re in the LA area, a fan of Adventure Time and/or virt, you may want to go to the Adventure Time game launch party this Tuesday! Continue reading »

9-Bit Blitzkrieg

Willrock and TrueStar team up to bring you 9-Bit Blitzkrieg!  25 tracks of chiptune rooted songs from various artists in the VGM community!

So much great music…and all if it is absolutely free!  You can get it now from the brand new net label, 9-Bit Records.  If this album is any indication of the quality of music 9-Bit Records intends to release, you should keep an eye on them!

Noise Channel also welcomed some of the regulars of King Foom’s Mash Tactics show.  Producer Jake was on the show earlier talking about Retro City Rampage and then some of them migrated to Noise Channel.  TrueStar and virt hoped you liked the show and are happy they could entertain for an evening!

This Noise Channel listening party is so special that we’re doing it on Tuesday instead of Thursday.

Producer Jake has been working really hard at WayForward Studios and now Noise Channel listeners get to listen to his latest musical creation!  Join us on September 11th starting at 10PM Eastern to listen to the Double Dragon Neon OST.  Jake will be on the air and in the chat room to talk about the game and answer listener questions.

The soundtrack release will coincide with the listening party.  If you enjoy what you heard, you can claim your own copy after the show.

If you have any question for Jake Kaufman, use the contact tab at the top of the page and send us a message.  Perhaps it’ll be asked on the air!  The Facebook event for the listening party is here.

Hope to see you there!

Pretty Eight Machine by Inverse Phase

After a year of working on the Pretty Eight Machine album, Inverse Phase was ready to unleash it onto the world.  Fans of chiptunes and Nine Inch Nails joined TrueStar and Inverse Phase for the listening party.  A couple of download codes were given to two lucky listeners and Inverse Phase was so excited that he had to take a ‘pee break’.  We can only guess that the high number of listeners gave him pee anxiety.

Unfortunately, there is no archive for his show.  However, you can now purchase the album on his Bandcamp site.  As of this post, it is ranked #2 on Bandcamp.  Lets get it to #1!

Rokko & Noise Chan

Nubuwo teamed up with Noise Channel to give the listeners a preview of the Rokko Chan Arrange album.  The album is still not yet complete, but TrueStar had a full hour of both original, chiptune, and non-chiptune arrangements to share with the listeners.

The full album will be available as one of the incentives for the upcoming Nubuwo  Kickstarter projects in a few weeks.  It will be available to the public as ‘pay what you want’ on Bandcamp on July 4th.

This album isn’t released (or even complete) yet, so there is currently no archive for this episode.

The artwork for this listening party is brought to you by Slider!  Be sure to check out her Deviantart page; she does commissions!  You can also play Rokko Chan for free at this website.

Zef drops by Noise Channel with his brand new Blackout album.  To get everyone in the mood for high energy dancing, TrueStar starts off the show with music from his now year old Ground Zero album.  Afterwards, everyone enjoys Blackout and a couple of still unreleased tracks from both Zef and..Zefimal Cannon!

Unfortunately, the Zefimal Cannon track is not available on the archive.  You can expect to hear more from them this summer!

Blackout is available now on Bandcamp.  For the first two days all money made from Blackout will be donated to Johan for further development of LSDJ.  Afterwards, it will be donated to the humanitarian efforts of Kiva.org.  Kiva is a non-profit organization that allows people to lend money to small business owners and farmers who don’t have access to the bank systems like we’re used to.  The loans help them run their business and support their families.  They pay back the money to you and you are free to lend again or withdraw the money back into your account.

Zef has also created a team on Kiva just for us chip musicians and fans.  Join the team here and help us reach our goal of lending $1000 by the end of summer!  If we spread the word and each of us lends just a little bit, we can easy exceed this goal! Continue reading »
