I have a confession to make, this is an old podcast. But it was brought to my attention today on Small World Podcast. The episode, which originally aired on solipsistic NATION, goes into a bit of the history of chip tunes and synths.
Chiptune is music written in sound formats where the sounds are synthesized by […]

The year is ending and I must give in to writing a post of the year in review, but I can’t. Nerdcore and Chiptunes is fairly new to me and this site is just a way for me to get to know it better. But there is some good reading material for you nerds. Hipster, […]

Here is a cover band I discovered recently, a group calling themselves The Megas. Josh Breeding, Eric von Doymi, Greg Schneider, and Brent Firestone come together to play rock versions of Mega Man music, which is pretty cool. Not to hate, but they can use some work with the vocals. But they are still new […]

Yeah the holidays did start earlier. But what better day to bring it up than on the most commercialized day of them all, Christmas?
So, Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone.

You guessed it, more Christmas music is here. Check out the release on Candy Mind. There is noise!
From the site:
For the first time ever the Candy Mind crew stands back to let Peppermint Pony and Bubblegum Octopus present their second Christmas compilation, featuring 24 artists and their view of what a perfect Christmas sounds like.

There are four new releases on the 8bitpeoples label. Go get them while they’re fresh. Each of the releases have a nice unique sound, so a download or two is definitely recommended. I am really enjoying She’s release, Pioneer. Here is a list of the new releases:

Coleco Music - Confessions in a Chatroom (8BP067)
Psilodump - […]

News straight from the Lovely ComputeHer’s blog: there is an interview of her on PixelEFX. No catchy headlines here, just a good interview about her music and what she has planned as well as some personal questions. I think we can all agree, The best part has got to be her Gameboy […]

Yeah, they don’t give a damn (Photo taken from micromusic.net).
There has been a lot of talk about Fitts for Fight, as it seems that they are blatantly stealing other people’s music and claiming it as their own. I took a listen to some of the tracks, and it seems to me that this band is […]

Here is a cool short introduction into the world of circuit bending. It comes from the Circuit Bending Documentary by Derek Sajbel. Unlike the Nerdcore documentaries coming up, this one is already released. But a good video to watch for those unaware of circuit bending.

VH1 Game Break interviews the popular group YMCK: You Only Live Twice: Adventures in Game Culture. They discuss the usuals, what they like, how they got into it and the scene in Japan.
These guys are very talented, doing more than just make 8-bit music. They also DJ, remix, video, visuals, code plug-ins, and make music […]
