Telan Devik - Retro Illuminated Vol. 2

Happy New Year ! Just in case anybody is spending tonight on the Internet, just wondering what to do, what to say, what is life, what is love, I want to offer you one of my all-time favourites: Retro Illuminated Vol. 2 by Telan Devik, a genius producer from Greenland.

Telan spends his idle time interacting with a variety of old synthesizers, making them produce sounds that sound just like they barely escaped the mid 80's, while some of us just sit there.

Short but very sweet, this EP will take you to heights never before reached by woman or man.

I think if this music had existed when I was a little cake, it would have been my madeleine de Proust forever.

Still, it kinda is...

Well, see you around, if the Earth hasn't exploded yet, if everything is the same apart from the date, if you're still up to discovering new music, encouraging young talented artists, and so on and so forth...

C-c-c-c-commmmmmbo brrrreaker !

Sacio - Ballcat's Adventures

Well hello ! Ok then... I don't really know what to say about this album, apart that it's a pretty neat collection of tracks in a Sega Genesis sort of style.

I had the chance to come upon this very obscure album thanks to Krelez's Random Chiptune Radio.

Aoi - 1

Tapping his inspiration from various sources, Aoi creates each track as an atmosphere in itself. Changing, dream-inducing...

I stumbled randomly on this album, and I'm quite content that I have, because its music left its mark on my mind. Its blend of instrumentals and electronic sonorities immediately transported my thoughts to another dimension, filled with nostalgy and rêveries. As for now, it's Aoi's only album, but who knows what the future holds ?

I hope to hear more in the future, as far as I'm concerned.

Various Artists - Equilibrium

In the Chiptune world, everything is not always frenzy, deathrays and millimetered jumps. No, there is also quite a bit of poetry, a hidden softness that we could, if we would, call "chillbit", because it has bits inside, and it's chill as hell (hell can be chill, mind you).

Ok, not always, not entirely and not absolutely, but on the whole that description stands pretty well.

See you again, and don't forget to take a look at  Ubiktune's catalog.

Vince Kaichan - Earthshine

Here are four amazing tracks by Vince Kaichan, inspired by the never-ending dance of celestial fish over the trees.

Short but very good, really enjoyable you'll see. It's a must have in one's chiptune collection.

And thanks to Krelez for the good music tastes too.

And happy Independence Day to Finland !

Don't go and catch a cold now you guys.
