This weekend was Philadelphia’s second annual 8Static Festival featuring some of the best chiptune musicians on the continent. Acts include Gameboy heavyweights Danimal Cannon and Trey Frey, and chiptune pioneers Trash80 and Cheap Dinosaurs. A personal highlight of mine was Radlib, who closed out day one.

I’ve been reading through some of my old posts and realizing I need to be less excited and more coherent when I write on VideoGameDJ. So I think I’m doing good with this one, presented a Chiptune album by Tettix (formally known as Cicada). This album features prominate chiptunes artists Alex Mauer, Derris-Kharlan, Disasterpeace, Hélas Techne and Minusbaby for a rock solid street-fighter themed album. It’s a free download, so go get it!
