Fighter X – BERSERKER
Chiptune legend Fighter X just released his first new album in four years. BERSERKER is available on Bandcamp for name your own price.
Writing his music on a Gameboy with LSDj, Fighter X has been considered by some to be a pioneer of Chiptune dance music, since his self-titled release back in 2009.
The Fighter X project has gone through some changes over the past eight years. Originally started in 2005 by Seattle-based Chiptune musician  Nickolas Walthew, Fighter X later incorporated Jack Waterman, creating one of the first 2xLSDJ 2xHuman-Being chiptune acts. When the duo split in 2011, Nick took a hiatus from Fighter X while Jack went on to start his own project  Electric Children. On June 1st of this year, Fighter X began performing again, starting with a show at The Vera Project in Seattle.

CHIPTOPIA
The third volume in an on-going Chiptune and Chipmusic mix series, CHIPTOPIA is now available for free download and stream via Soundcloud. Featuring music by some of chiptune’s finest writers and musicians, including Sabrepulse, Electric Children, and FantomenK, Chiptopia is a welcome departure from the harsh and dark nature of today’s dance music.
Started back in the summer of 2011, Chiptopia seeks to represent a time and place where music is flourishing. A variety of sounds, styles and formats, I imagine Chiptopia to be a place that supports music and art to the fullest. This mix takes the listener on a journey through such a place, crafting a feeling of moving from venue to venue, hearing the complimenting elements of each song and artist, ultimately painting a picture of a night out in a musical Utopia.
Chiptopia is influenced heavily by my experiences in Ithaca, New York, the place where I first began studying electronic music production and DJing.
Featuring music by Sabrepulse, Electric Children, Trey Frey, FantomenK, Fighter X, Bitshifter, Coova and little-scale, Ookami, Prom Wolf, Roboctopus, Byzanite, Icarus Kid, Misfit Chris, Doomcloud, Inverse Phase, Teleidofusion, Je M’appelle, and Knife City, with additional samples from Skip Sandwich DX and Anamanaguchi
