Meneo - 8bit Party Mix (MP3)

Not having listened to much Chiptune or 8bit tracks lately I had kinda written off the movement as a novel idea that dwindled. 4 years ago I was intrigued by making music using only 8bit Nintendo GameBoy sound effects - but the genre was kinda limited by purists who refused to mix the chiptune sound with any tech aided beat making. But now out of nowhere comes Meneo (out of Barcelona in reality) ! Dropping Gameboy reggaeton and lofi electro dancefloor killers - Meneo has been destroying the underground across Europe. These dudes get so loose they were banned in Sweden for on-stage nudity! (I thought the Swedes were some of the most open-minded on the nudie tip in all of the EU) Be on the look out for their "yo soy tu papi" cut (track 4) which is a future dancefloor anthem in the making (paging Armand van Helden - consider remixing this jammy!). note: some of the blends are not perfect with some minor beat doubling but check it out nonetheless for something you've probably never heard before.

Genres: 8bit, chiptune, electro, glitch, nintendo, techno

Papercutz (Hefty Records) - John Hughes (MP3)

Ever get the feeling that a laser designator has painted you as the target and just keeps dropping munitions? Well the squad from Hefty Records has had me in their scope since they left my mouth open with that DJ eDit - Hefty Flossed Out Mix. And once again they deliver a deadly payload with this glitchy madness loosely stitched together by John Hughes aka Slicker aka Some Water and Sun. This instrumental would be enough on it's own but then to pepper it with hype MC flow over the top kicks it up a notch, natch.

Genres: blends, breaks, glitch, hip-hop, mash-up
