VGM Mixtape #8
Chances are your first encounter with electronic music came from hours of sitting in front of the boob-tube playing video games like Super Mario Brothers, Tetris, Shinobi, Golden Axe, and Street Fighter 2? VGM Mixtape #8 is a project that evolved as a homage to the video game music and legendary video game systems of yesteryear, using the soundtracks from the games of such dinosaurs as the Atari 2600, Turbo Graffix 16, Commodore 64, Coleco Vision and Sega Genesis to create a variety of comtemporary dances tracks. The productions run through the full range of dance music, from electro, techno and house to IDM and gabber - making for one weird RPM record.
