The DA CHIP project started back in 2008 as an open competition organised on the 8bitcollective website by two french artists, Je deviens dj en 3 jours and Zombectro.

Four years later, the project returns, this time providing an expansive cast of chiptune talent in 13 crunchy chip tracks. From Sabrepulse to Cheapshot, Rushjet1 to Henry Homesweet, Da Chip Vol. II is a diverse and rocking album worthy of any gameboy.
And best of all, it’s free.

Ahead by Je Mappelle

RushJet1 is one of my favorite Chiptune artists. Recently, Ubiktune released Forgotten Music. The album combines the old, the new, and the forgotten music from RushJet1′s past into one album. Several songs have been unfinished for years and have been given a proper ending, while others are re-imaginings of older songs.

“Enjoy listening through these. I know I enjoyed writing them!” — RushJet1.

This is one of those tracks I had to just run back over and over again when I first heard it. Actually, I’m playing it over and over right now writing this post. With the simple description of “Bedtime stories”, 8bitcollective user sylcmyk has created a very unique, fun, and lighthearted tune integrating smart production and some nostalgic samples. Have a listen below, and be sure to like and comment over on 8bc.
