CHIPTUNES

Before MJ’s death, the similarity between the credit music for Sonic 3 and Michael's "Stranger In Moscow" was regarded as conspiracy theory. Recently, information and interviews have been rising to the surface that support this story; Michael Jackson wrote music for Sega's flagship title, Sonic The Hedgehog 3.
Unfortunately, Michael Jackson was uncredited for his work. Due to a number of factors, Sega decided to remove his name from their title shortly before release. However, there wasn’t enough time to re-program the music, so the cartages for the Sega Gensis shipped with Michael’s original tunes.
When I learned about this, I immediately when searching for what the Sonic music would sound like with MJ’s vocals. I found a surprising number of “mashups”, but they were kind of weird, muddy, or out-of-sync. So I got in the studio and made this "remix" I’m happy to hear the vibe of both pieces seems to have been preserved.
All samples are from the Sega Genesis release of Sonic The Hedgehog 3 and the vocal track from Michael Jackson’s Stranger in Moscow. I discovered through compression, I was able to bring out the other instruments that were playing through Michael’s headphones during the recording session. Really amazing stuff.
I had a great time working on this mix. Please favorite, comment and share this post with any Sonic, MJ or Chiptune fan. If you’d like to support, add me on Facebook – http://fb.me/djcutman

I wanted to capture the mood of the original song in this remix, keeping it slow, moving, ethereal. Lots of audio filter and audio pan helped create the atmosphere. Mellow hip hop drums stacked with 8-bit equivalents keep the percussion feeling full, while maintaining a low-fi mood. The outro's sound was created by an automation bug, but I liked what the software was doing so I tweaked it a little and opted for a fade out.

Futurebound vs Metric vs Mega Man 3

Dubstep Is Dead is meant to be a eulogy for the classic meaning of the word Dubstep; a genre that got its start with underground garage mixes in the UK. This mix comprises of the tracks and artists that I believe have taken this genre to new places, incorporating elements of progressive house, electro, chiptune and tech. This is not to say that dubstep itself is gone from this planet forever, but rather it has risen like a Phoenix... here to destroy us all.
Released on Halloween 2011, a one year anniversary of live dubstep mixing for me. I hope you've enjoyed all the MIXES thus far. A big, big thank you to all the artists, blogs, and labels who've provided me with the music I spin, this is truly a team effort. 

Special thanks to Jason and the team at Dubstep.net , who have been instrumental in the development of this mix. As a small token of thanks, I've provided download and purchase links for the complete tracklist below. Enjoy the music.

Sounds from 20XX

ChipTuneMusic Volume III: Chiptopia 
The third volume in an on-going Chiptune journey. 

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

So this is a cover of "This Charming Man" by The Smiths done in the style of Super Mario Bros.. I'm planning on doing a video as soon as I can figure out how to work with Flash. The sound effects are only there to help the listener visualize the "game". I'm looking to do other 80s songs in this style as well (with accompanying videos). Enjoy!

A collaboration between Dj CUTMAN and Benjamin Briggs, Powerglove takes an obscure sample from the NES game "Mig 29 Soviet Fighter" and imports a heaping dose of french electro and gritty automation to create something so good, it can only be called “so bad.”
