A Tree On The Mars - MilkyTracker Chiptune

"Welcome to the first stage. Blue skies of reality are clouded with enemies, but your skills are legend and the rapid fire of your vulcan cannon is the most powerful of all creation. Nothing can stop you. Time for payback."

This track is part of a concept album called "Prime Legacy", the fictional soundtrack to an imaginary STG.

Unbreakable Wings [Retro arcade shooter opening stage]

black cats cross my path
go away on my welcome mat
i feel so alone
so shameless shameless shameless

my palm is an open map
i'm going no where fast
i feel so alone
insane insane insane

come on and take the salt away
come on and pour it on the wound

fat rats feel my wrath
claw tubs, silver baths
i feel sunken in
so shapeless, shapeless, shapeless

my palm is an open map
i'm going no where fast
i feel so alone
insane insane insane

i feel something new for you
i feel something new for you 

come on and take this salt away
come on and pour it on the wound

Salt

Big thanks to Michael Allen for making one of the best chip albums this year. It was a lot of fun making this track! 

Best listened to with headphones because Michael is a stereo sound wizard. 

Roboctopus - Can't Have the Sandwich if you Ain't Got the Jelly (Skip Sandwich DX Remix)

The finished version of this track is on my album, "Your Heart is a Pie Chart" available here:

It's a little embarrassing, but...I think this is like, almost done. Please be gentle with me.

Ending maybe needs something, so it just fades out right now. Yeah.

Working on a new album! This will be on it, so, um, anticipate the completion of things, or something.

Give My Regards to the Tigers (WIP)

This one is basically a darker version of Springs. At least this is what I had on my mind when I started making it 6 months ago.  It also was a weeklybeats submission.

1xLSDJ + a bit of post-processing

Twistboy - Circumstances

I did this track for WeeklyTreats as part of the CheapBeats showcase! 

2xlsdj, guitar, tambourine

Your Princess Is In Another Console lol

Can you guys why we named it "Bomb It Out?"

(When In Doubt) Bomb It Out

Really really happy with the "solo" break (2:00) on this track, as well as the pseudo-echo at the start.

I've got 400 followers so it's time to upload something.
This track was gathering dust for 6 months or so. I wrote the most part overnight so it's kind of random. 1xLSDJ

Twistboy - All Messed Up

Guys, lots of crazy things are happening to the world, so let's just chill for a few minutes in space.

Two Game Boys running LSDJ, one Roland Juno 60 for pads, some guitar through a phaser.

Telekinesis For Dummies

Capital-C Chiptune! This is a long version of a tune I wrote as the intro for the Rocket Punch podcast. Some cool guys local to me covering video games.

One Game Boy, two guitars.

A Fistful Of Rocket Punches

"'Tis What 'Tis" is Googie's relentless debut solo album, hitting you with banger after shmanger of Googie's infectious vocal stylings over original beats you can't help but boogie to. Old school rhymes with a splash of intelligence are on full display, inviting you to vibe along with Googie's contagious, upbeat energy. So far out its getting colder, "'Tis what 'Tis" comes fresh on the heels of 2015's acclaimed BALD AFRO collaboration with underground workhorse Lt Headtrip, thrusting Googie to the forefront whether the world is ready or not. 

Hailing from West New York, NJ and currently based out of Queens, Googie is as confident and vibrant as the great city he calls home. Googie has spent years honing his craft in the independent rap scene, both as a solo artist and as a member of New York's loudest collective, the Karma Kids. "'Tis What 'Tis" features a who's-who of underground stalwarts, with features from fellow Karma Kids-- Gruff Lion, Duncecap and Lt Headtrip-- plus NYC staples Premrock and Warren S. Britt. On the beats, Googie enlists his labelmates Headtrip and Samurai Banana (who also supplies the cuts), and gets help from Montana Macks, Fresh Kils, RedDirt the Illusionist, Jeff Markey and two original beats from indie rap legend Blockhead. The end result is 45 minutes of instant classic. 

Stand up, get down and go berserk. If you don't have as much fun listening as Googie had creating, well, "'Tis what 'Tis."

My first full track in LSDJ. Went for a Hard-Edged Dubstep tune. Let us know what you think! =]

Shallow Addiction (LSDJ Dubstep)

My new 1xLSDJ song!!! Geez, it took up all the phrases an lsdj song could offer!

Chasing Kitsune

The first full length track (as such) I created.
Produced solely on an original 1989 Gameboy running LSDj, with custom kits sampled from 300 (film) and The Winstons (need I specify what exactly...)

Amen, Sparta (LSDj)

Nothing.

Everyone stormed the stage at the end of the show and the DI boxes and shit got trampled! (lol)  Hence it kinda goes into fuzz at the end of the show.  Fun times :-)
