“Minus is Daniel Stanciu, a 21 years-old Romania-born computer science student. He’s been making tracks for a few years, trying to focus on the emotional aspect of music– rather than its technical side. Style ranges from 8-bit and old school electro to dub, down tempo and ambient music with vague references to math, fuzzy childhood memories, and old video games.”
“Milieu’s Sophiesongs consists of lovely 8-bit and 16-bit stylings unearthed for a special Custom Music release. This collection also contains RARE remixes by CMR allstars A+100 and Thisket. A very special treat indeed.”
“A new release by Småm, that explores the oriental side of Gameboy music.“
“Techtonic Plate delivers a cool, calm, plastic sound wrapped up in a blanket of chips that are still being produced in the clean room. Come hither to the hypnotic sounds in this 3 track EP that will make you want to embrace your computer with both arms and you recite off ‘1, 0, 1′ in random patterns hoping to tell it, ‘I love you’. As usual with Piston Source releases, the format is raw PxTone for which the editor/player is available along with the tracks on the CUTS page. Enjoy.”
“Welcome to the UNAS MICRO PUNK EROTIC SHOW! Sex, 8-Bit and Rock ‘n’ Roll for ever! Shake it baby!”
“Datassette on DWD! Cool 7-pack compiled from unreleased stuff of past few years. Nice ‘daft-styled’ synth-pop in ‘Fash’ series, chiptune-like sound in ‘Squares’ and much more! Take it! Must have for all synth fans!”
“DWD proudly presents ‘Updown’, new release from Goto80! Great tunes in best traditions of this chiptune supa-star from industrial and breakcore to the songs with singing :) Amazing artwork by Entter (click on image for full size cover) So, get it right now! Only few copies left ;)”
“That boy typogra is back with his fourth EP, ‘blagthknob.’ Custom Music Records guarantees that you will enjoy this release very much, maybe even to the extent that youd be compelled to slit your wrists. Honest!”
“Betamod brings even more VGM with Hiroshi and his debt EP, Bitronica. Hailing from the UK, Hiroshi creates his tracks by combining 8 bit synthesis, lofi drums and video game sound effects. VGM Fans, Be sure not to miss tracks like Level 2, Toadstool’s Potion, and the excellent Hiroshi’s Palace. There are some hardcore ‘bits’ (pun intended) in there as well, just click on Chipcore. Be sure not to miss this debut from the ever promising new artist, Hiroshi. “
“‘Porn Ha Ha,’ Ogge’s latest EP, is jampacked with bubbly synths and good tymes. This short EP is a return to the fun-filled music CMR was founded upon, and also perfectly exemplifies Ogges knack for capturing a unique mix of porn scores crossed with funky 80s-like theme songs (See ‘Porn Island.’)”
