Adam Schackart may be PlainFlavored by name, but his music certainly isn’t! Hexadecimator includes five tracks of DMG music influenced by a dream that took place in the summer of 2009, as well as eight years of previously abandoned works. This creates a work that is both somehow fractured and complete at the same time, turning from underclocked churning to high powered energetic music instantaneously.
With cover art by Hannes Pasqualini (click album art for larger image) and vocal and acoustic guitar intro by Andrew Winzenburg.

arottenbit, Buskerdroid, Kenobit and Microman have given birth to the Square Wave Conspiracy, an album with aims of showing the world what the Italian micromusic scene is capable of, which is clearly the blistering destruction of Game Boy music as we know it! This album shows the lads remixing a song from each other, finishing off with a brand new original track from all of them, leaving you in a catatonic state of frenzy!

All the recordings are the raw output of the Game Boys, to preserve the roughness and power of the 8 bit sound.

The delicious artwork is by pixel hero Nazzilla, click the art to view a HQ version!

Once upon a time, Australia’s Derris-Kharlan played a gig. Not only did he play a gig, he shook the foundations of civilisation as we know it, to leave the world forever changed. Luckily for us, someone managed to grab a superbly high quality recording of it, and it is presented to you so that you too can embrace the brilliant music.

Props to the SoundBytes crew for letting CDKr host this, cTrix for the mastering and pixls for the stunning artwork (click for lush HQ version!)

All the way from Washington D.C., Blog fiend/Musician/all-round chill motherfucker Dauragon C. Mikado (or Dauragon to his friends) has slammed 5 tracks of hip-hop goodness this way. From a slight bobbing of the head to full on hip-worrying booty shakin’, Dauragon covers all the necessary dance styles with class, and plenty of obscure pop culture references.

From New York, Chromix uses a Game Boy with LSDJ to devastating effect, forcing you to crack a smile and dance! (seriously, if you don’t go apeshit to Cirque Beserk, you have more self-control than I do!) If you like your music hardcore and happy, get on this! If you’re still not convinced, Roll Trick also includes a flipping IAYD Remix! Say whaaaaaat?

Multifaros had a dream, and rather than read up on some of Freud’s theories, he instead made this beautiful album with a Guitar and Reason 3.0! Enjoy the floaty loveliness of the tracks, and have sweet dreams tonight!

Videovalvontaa, Finnish nutters with a penchant for DOOMBASS have inflicted their HNGH anthems fresh onto CDKr! A mixture of songs, all with a slight ominous theme, from dancefloor tunes to all out paranoid-schizo-frantic-horror music! Videovalvontaa use a massive mixture of hardware to create their music, including Nanoloop, Nintendo DS, some Casios, and even the trusty Yamaha SHS-10!

Summer is here, and in my opinion sometimes there’s nothing like a high-octane, high-NRG fist pumping soundtrack to get you going, and Italy’s Buskerdroid (or BKDD to his mates) certainly provides that! The feet-blisteringly forceful LSDJ dance chaos mastery is not to be dismissed, as storming opener “Stregatto” demonstrates!

tenfold, aka Paul Herbig, resides in NYC, and with this release has surely boosted his place in the iconic chipmusic scene over there a new notches! He has very generously given CDKr an EPs worth of amazing material, this is a serious contender for one of my all-time favourite releases here on CDKr! Wonky pop with heavy NOISE channel mix utilising heaving basslines with a combination of LSDJ/C64/Vox/Guitar!
