Our friend Dalgun thought we should share some advice on awesome music, so we gave it a thought. We do listen to a lot of cool game music and chiptunes on a daily basis, so why not share the knowledge of the songs and artists we love with everyone! 😀 From now we will release “Mixtapes” whenever we’ve put some cool songs together ^_^ You can listen to the songs here and also find links to artists or information about the them, if you’re having a hard time finding where to buy the tracks or such then just send us an email and we’ll help you out ^_^

So here’s Mixtape #1 with a retro gaming theme! 😀 Starting off with one of my absolute favorite songs right now, even though it’s not actually retro Jake Kaufman sure has made a great job making it sound that way! ^_^ In between there’s upbeat real retro gaming classics from various games, mainly Nintendo NES/Famicom or Famicom Disk System and ending with a symphonic classic from one of my favorite series! Enjoy!! 😀
