Pixel-powered nostalgia, one vibe at a time 🎮✨

8 Bit Vibes

Today, as part of our aperiodic Instrumental Hump Day, we’re offering you something a bit different: here’s a preview of a side project we’ve been working on for a few months: a 🕹️Chiptune👾 album (we’ll let you know when it’s coming out, but definitely not before June)!
In this track (and in the others that will follow in this style), our guitarist and especially our lead singer focused on production and mixing, only playing a few notes here and there. Needless to say, it’s all a fully digital work, aiming to bring back that 80s vibe (with a splash of the 90s and our personal twist). 
If you’ve never heard of Chiptune before, here’s a quick intro:

Hey SoundCloud peeps!🤗 Here’s another chiptune for you! Blame Mary for the title, and her obsession with cute, fluffy creatures! And don’t mind if the poor alien or creature from another dimension (whatever it is... it could’ve come straight out of one of our guitarist’s fever dreams) plugged the jack into the strap hook instead of the output of its guitar with 5 tuning keys and 6 strings! A cute little pink creature like that gets a free pass, right? We hope you’ll also forgive us for creating all of this.😅
See you in a few days with a real song. Catch you in the comments!🫶

Here we go again with some Chiptune! Third drop while we wait for next Friday's release (it's gonna be a love song so cheesy it melts, but with our usual twist!). You can check out our Chiptune tracks here: https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/sets/8-bit-vibes.

Side note totally unrelated to this track:
Can we just scream a massive F* O** to all the brilliant "artists" here on SoundCLOWN who follow you just to unfollow two days later?
And some of them proudly brag on YouTube about this super "smart" follow/unfollow trick to build reputation off people like us?
Sorry for the rant... and once again: F* O** AND JUST DIE ALREADY** to all the unfollow "geniuses" out there!
PS: We officially disown whatever was just said by Beating Edge’s secret sixth member! 🤣😬

Arcade Valley

Arcade Valley (Instrumental - Chiptune)

Alright, here we are again.🔊
While we finish up our next song (yeah, it's gonna be called "In the Future", check the bio if you missed that) and the music video (it's gonna be a trip!), here's a little something to mess with your ears and brain in the meantime.
It's a no-frills Chiptune track, just for fun.👾
And since we had no idea what to call it, we named it RND (short for random), a nod to the classic BASIC command from back in the day.
See you next Friday, or better yet... in the future! 🔮🌀

Hey there, how’s it going music people?🤗 Here’s another Chiptune track👾 (you can find the previous ones here: https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/sets/8-bit-vibes), finished yesterday, the day of the solstice (summer or winter depending on which hemisphere you’re in). The original title was just “Catchy Tune,” but honestly it sounded pretty lame, so we decided to change it to “Solstice,” since we completed it on June 21! 
Enjoy listening and have a great Sunday everyone!🫶

Solstice (Instrumental - Chiptune)

OK, true, we already released a song today, and you're probably still sipping your coffee from https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/my-coffee-and-me.
But we just had to drop this instrumental too (OK, to be honest, it was our nerdy keyboard player Mauro who absolutely insisted on it), a little tribute to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Commodore Amiga (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga)! 🎂💾
On July 23, 1985, the legendary Commodore Amiga was unveiled at New York’s Lincoln Center, with the iconic Andy Warhol as its godfather and the fantastic Debbie Harry from Blondie adding star power to the event.
The Amiga was a beast for its time: 8-bit samples, thousands of colors (32 out of 4096 at first, then 256+ with AGA), and the legendary HAM mode.
A machine that changed the game and inspired this track.

Boing Ball (Instrumental - Chiptune)

Hi everyone! Since it’s Sunday and we happened to meet in the studio to say goodbye to each other, we realized completely by chance that we’ve uploaded 98 tracks on SoundCloud. So we decided to release a chiptune track to mark number 99, and then come back with the 100th song!😉

We’ll still be online for a few more hours, then we’ll take a break from SoundCloud for a while. We can’t say exactly how long. But don’t worry, we’ll be back to annoy you again!🤪

Enjoy listening, drop us a comment , and happy holidays to those who, like us, still haven’t taken them! In any case, enjoy the summer (and if you’re in the southern hemisphere, enjoy the cool weather! Sorry, dear friends in Antarctica, no joke intended!😆).

Love you all!🫶
Ciao!!😘

Loading Holidays (Instrumental - Chiptune)

Happy Birthday to our keyboard wizard Mauro AKA Maux! 🎉
For his special day, he came up with a brand-new Chiptune rearrangement of one of our earliest tracks, Birthday Bash (https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/birthday-bash). A retro, pixel-party twist on one of our first songs, reimagined through his creativity to celebrate the moment.
Big cheers to him, and turn up the 8-bit vibes! 🕹️🎂✨
And stay tuned!! Tomorrow we’re dropping a brand new track, the last one of this summer with a summery, playful vibe! 🌞🎶

Birthday Bash - Chiptune Edition (Instrumental - Chiptune)

Here we go with Chip for Dead, an intense metal instrumental version of Left for Dead (https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/left-for-dead) with a Chiptune twist (here you can find our Chiptune tracks: https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/sets/8-bit-vibes)!🔊 

You might have caught a sneak peek during the Bloopers in the Left for Dead video on YouTube (https://youtu.be/P2ARL50HuoU?si=Xs6FgJy8K1hpt5DM).

This track officially closes what we’ve been calling the Apocalyptic Trilogy (https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/sets/apocalyptic-trilogy), though with the two instrumentals included, it’s really more of a Pentalogy (..does this word exist?)! Three main songs and two instrumental variations, all tied together in one epic saga.

Tom gave a hand with the synths on this one while focusing on production instead of vocals, and we’d love to hear what you think about this new twist in the comments below.
We’ll be back at the end of the month with a special Halloween track… in Italian (don’t worry, we’ll post the English translation too!).
Love you all! 🫶

At the moment, this track is exclusively available on SoundCloud.
Released on October 22, 2025.

Chip for Dead (Instrumental - Chiptune)

Between snatches of time, while we’re working on a full-fledged song with a video (…we should make it by next Friday!), we pulled out a Chiptune instrumental version of our song “In the Future” (https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/in-the-future). 
Mary and Tom weren’t needed this time, so of course they ended up taking care of production and mixing. The song was recently also released on the mainstream (https://ffm.to/in-the-future). 
Who knows, in the end you might find yourself humming it!😜

Let’s kick off this final month of the year by closing the AI-music chapter once and for all, at least as far as we’re concerned. The die is cast now, there’s no turning back, only moving forward. And we move forward by offering you this playful Chiptune version of our recent "AI Killed the Human Star" (https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/ai-killed-the-human-star). This time the AI kills Chiptune too! What a world!
See you on Friday with an unusual Christmas song. 🎄🪩

AI Killed the Chiptune Star (Instrumental - Chiptune)

We loved Joe's song (https://soundcloud.com/joseph-stroffolino/old-saint-nick) so much - the one he wrote, sang, and we had the pleasure to play, produce, and mix - that we just had to make a chiptune version! Meet Old Saint Chip, a tiny 8-bit adventure through Saint Nick’s legendary bones. Plug in your headphones, maybe sit next to an old NES or C64, and enjoy the pixelated holiday vibes!🎅🏻🕹️🎄

Old Saint Chip (Instrumental - Chiptune)

🎸We are a five-piece studio band mixing different genres and influences into our own sound.
Members:
Tom (vocals, occasional keys/guitar)
Mary (guitar, backing vocals)
Mauro (keyboards, piano, synths, winds)
Davide (bass, synth bass)
Valerio (drums, percussion)

The band has existed since 2015, but we only started publishing on SoundCloud and other platforms in 2024. Many of the songs we’ve released so far are reboots of tracks we wrote years ago, in case you were wondering how we managed to release over 100 tracks in one year. Before 2024 we only published on our own blog (which is now gone, replaced by a new one we barely use), so our audience was limited to a few hundred friends and acquaintances.
We’re not professional musicians! We have other jobs, and we don’t even consider ourselves musicians, at most entertainers and awareness-raisers.

⚡️We do not authorize the use of our music, voices or recordings for AI training or generative purposes without our written consent.
