2080 – Nerd to Geek
I like French electronic music. I like their way of being funky. 2080 takes that funky French electronic vibe to chipsounds. Though there are no real chips involved in the making of his music (he mainly works with analogue gear like an old Juno 60, and some MFB synths) the sound really reminds you of the gamesoundtracks of the past, so I guess it fits here anyway.
This one’s no free download, but if you’re into this kind of music, it’s really worth the expense!
buy the album on 7digital.com (but you can probably find it on other stores as well)
Multifaros – Dreams, Yozef’s Journey
Multifaros is the alias of Bård Ericson, a young man born in 1991 who creates electronical music of various styles and genres since 2006. His primary tools for making music are Reason 3, Little Sound DJ, guitars and other instruments, coupled with a MIDI-keyboard and his passion for music, sounds, life and the universe.
Here’s another great artist blending chiptunes with acoustic sounds with a lot of other stuff, creating an amazing sound, and really interesting music. I highly recomend both albums: Dreams and Yozef’s Journey. Thy are quite different, while the first one is brighter, happier and featuring vocals on most tracks, the second one is purely instrumental and sounds darker and more dramatic.
