Bleep Blorp Bleep.

Hey everyone! Let me start by apologizing immensely for the past month or so. We definitely dropped the ball on this thing, and I'm very sorry about that. So! Since February is a new month, we're gonna start fresh. A whole new Bathroom Session for a whole new year (even though we're a month late)! So this year be on the look out for more guest spots, more album reviews, more fun filled facts, and who knows, maybe some concert reviews! In short:


We're Back Baby!


Let's get the ball rolling with a bit of analog songs. Sure everybody uses some analog or 8-bit sounding samples in today's music, but it's rare to find artists using only 8 or 16-bit sounds, and actually making it sound amazing! Here's some of my favourite Chiptune songs. 


Daft Punk - Aerodynamic (8-Bit by Je Deviens DJ En 3 Jours) (8-Bit, Chiptune)



Amazing rework of one of my favourite Daft Punk songs. This is an amazing mix by French 8-Bit artist Je Deviens DJ En 3 Jours and is part of an album called Da Chip which is "The music of Daft Punk revisited as vintage Game Systems". You pretty much can't go wrong with a tag line like that. 


Bit Shifter - Activation Theme (8-Bit/Chiptune)



Songs like this prove the fact that you don't need to have twenty layers of twenty instruments to make outstanding Electric dance music. Bit Shifter produces an amazing song here, and you just can't help but grin and bounce in your seat while you listen to it. Really. I challenge you. 
[this was the best video I could find on YouTube with the whole song intact and sounding it's best]


Anamanaguchi - Blackout City (Chiptune/Punk)


And of course, Anamanaguchi, an unreal 8-Bit Punk band from NYC. In the past two years they've exploded into the music scene. Providing the ENTIRE SOUNDTRACK to the movie adaptation of Scott Pilgram vs. The World last year, as well as dropping 5 singles, they stay true to their tag line: "Anamanaguchi makes loud, fast music with a hacked NES from 1985."


PixelH8 - We Can All See Rainbows (8-Bit/Chiptune)



Finally, PixelH8, one of the leaders in this genre. Amazing song, and really wicked video as well. Now go dust of your NES and tell it you love it.
