most serial killers love their dogs

Here's a trailer of an upcoming documentary on chip music. Watch it!
That works as a bried introduction to this pixel-music world. 8bit music is love. Full of energy and melody, but also innocence... Gameboy, Spectrum, Commodore 64. If it's old-school, they'll use it! This is music for those who think hi-fi is overrated!

8bitpeople is the main stop in the internet for 8bit lovers... It's a netlabel with over 80 releases, all free.

Here are a few recommended releases from those guys:

Nullsleep
Depeche Mode Megamix
For fans of Depeche Mode.




Random
Bad Joke EP
GameBoy goodness...




Xinon VS Sabrepulse
Realization
Japan Vs Scotland in the chiptunes war...




Anamanaguchi
Power Supply
Power-pop with both chiptek and guitars. Reminds me of the more upbeat stuff from m83.

Check their discography for some more hidden pearls!

Oh, and in case you're interested, the last music from the trailer above can be downloaded from here (the fun part is around 2:00).
