I’ll be playing a show tonight at Cafe Nine in New Haven, CT with @nullsleep.bsky.social , @donutshoes.bsky.social , @thewayup.bsky.social , Problems, and Void Ripper! Come out for some great music! #chipsky #chiptune

!!!!

Y'all go listen to some chiptune

Happy 20th Anniversary (⁉️) to an absolute classic – still sounds as good today as the day it was released.

The live recording of @mikey303.bsky.social and my B2B from HEAT.wav is live. @pacnoiseworks.bsky.social Check it out here: on.soundcloud.com/B4G93B9xJMoR... #m8tracker #heatwav #livemusic

The one problem with this workflow is that I have to tackle my greatest fear, actually making the music on the game boy instead of in emulator

Just announced - the Day 0 Prelude Party in Cambridge MA's own Middle East Corner! Free admission but 21+ only to catch Consumer Noise, Astr0logic and Brick BRKer #BostonBitdown #Chiptune #Chiptunes

Today's Youtube upload is a little Amiga ProTracker .mod/chiptune called "Align Our Stars", that I wrote last weekend for the BOTB's Winter Chip XXI compo ⭐🎹https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=597qsU5PF9U #chiptune #trackermodule #trackedmusic #protracker #amiga #8bit

New ambient song for M8 www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYzg...

Laying down the funk in LSDJ for this week’s WeeklyBeat… #lsdj #chiptune #chipsky

Reconnecting 2.0 <2021> #pixelart

Y'all hear about this @bostonbitdown.bsky.social ? They're saying it's Boston's biggest chiptune, vgm, and nerdcore festival. And it's happening in like, a week!! You should go to www.bostonbitdown.com and get yourself a ticket 😉

Hey just a reminder that I made an M8 Tracker musician starter pack a while ago. The list has grown. DM me if you make music with a Dirtywave M8 Tracker and want to be added to this. #m8tracker #chipsky go.bsky.app/GSpJkgD

Hey! BCFriday reminder: We have three #chiptune compilation albums and ALL the proceeds go to the ACLU! Feels like a super important organization in this current climate... just sayin! Link: bitcrushed.bandcamp.com/album/chip-f...

NEW MUSIC! Over the span of a week in November, the Marshall Art collective rallied together to record an arrangement of Good Night from Gimmick! in memory of composer and our friend Masashi Kageyama.

And as a reminder - we have this hosted on Patreon exclusively because they have infrastructure for newsletters and Discord integration (if we ever make one). We're not charging for Chiptune Monthly, we're not paywalling it, they're just the easiest platform to use. Help us help you help the scene!

Our reporting is inherently biased due to being based in the US East Coast. We don't want to just talk about the stuff we're involved in and our group of friends! We search out what we can, but the #1 way to help us tell people about the world of chiptunes that they're missing is submissions!

If you wanted to do one thing to help us help you, please tell any of your chiptune friends who are releasing an album, performing live, organizing a festival, throwing a game jam, programming new trackers or are in any other way contributing to keeping this community alive worldwide to let us know!

TIME TO ANNOUNCE The Chiptune Webring! After coming home from #MAGFest and talking with friends, I thought "why not combine my love for coding & chiptune into something useful?" If you're interested and love #chiptune of all kinds, please feel free to join! sephlow.net/chiptune #neocities #indieweb

My upcoming shows for the first half of 2026! Excited to be playing the Bitdown and to be returning to Wood Chip Fest!

Y'all, I had NO idea that it looked like this from the crowd 😵

For any LSDJ chiptune artists who have been avoiding the Analogue Pocket due to audio distortion in the WAV channel the issue has been fixed with the Budude2 fpga core for GB and GBC. @defensemech.com has actually forked the core and further improved on it as well. #lsdj #chiptune #analoguepocket

People heard that the DEICER app was removed from the app stores a few months ago. It was removed, but it’s not gone! You can't get it in app stores, but you can download a web app that works on both platforms here. deicer.org It seems important, with the recent escalation, to share information!

MAGFEST - CHIPRAVE - SOON - GET DOWN HERE

I'm going to have some merch in Rock Island! Two shirts, a sticker sheet that comes with a bandcamp code for my new album, and a mini merch bundle inside a game boy game cartridge case with buttons, stickers, and also a bandcamp code

CDs still at Rock Island while supplies last! 🎵

MAGFEST 🚨 COME TO CHIP RAVE! Come see Street Cleaner, then ME! DONUTSHOES! Then stay for Petriform, Star Fighter Dreams, and Boy Without Batteries!!!

BE THERE MAGFEST

ELECTRIC FUCKING BAG PIPE! I LOVE THIS!!!!

I’m ALLLIIIIIVVVVEEEE and I’m here at Chipspace for the Ice Level block (not open mic rn) COME SAY HI 👋🏻

A bunch of Bit Crushed folks will be at MAGFest 2026 this year and you should go check them all out and say hi! A handful of posts incoming! 1/? #magfest #chiptune

I've got a new video out on the ULTIMATE LAPTOP LIVE RIG. Play guitar live with any amp sim and a ton of other features. Give it a watch! youtu.be/tL8pYmKin_E #ampsims #liveguitar #guitar

Development on VGMdb was slower than we'd planned in 2025. We only have one developer, so our focus has been on maintenance and bug fixes rather than new features. We hope to continue making progress in 2026. If you're a web dev passionate about music and data, join our Discord to connect with us.

I released an album yesterday. It sounds like this.

Anybody else out there remember this sick AF #chiptune show from NYC in April 2019? Bitshifter, Anamanaguchi, Nullsleep, Starscream (?!) -- here's some video!

One week until @magfest.org 2026! While we won’t all be there in person, a few members of our musical collective will be taking part. Here’s a quick run down of what we’re doing.

Where will you be next Saturday at 5:40pm EST? Because I will be on the MAGFest main stage playing bass for The Arkadian! Hope to see you there!

It's out! I've just released my new album The Hugur Files, a chiptune concept album about secret government research, psychics who steal energy from the future, and powerful time aliens There's no Bandcamp Friday this month so feel free to buy it.. RIGHT NOW! donutshoes.bandcamp.com/album/the-hu...

MAGFest is coming up quick! here's my stuff, 2 weeks from today! please come through to Chiprave; this year's lineup is astonishing and I'm beyond honored to take part!! add to your guidebook: Chiprave set: builder.guidebook.com/g/#/guides/m... Meet & Greet: builder.guidebook.com/g/#/guides/m...

What a lineup! If you're gonna be at MAGFest get your booty to the Chiprave!!

Reasons like THIS are why we donate every cent we bring in to the ACLU. To protect those who are unjustifiably seeing the ground beneath them erode away.

Where we stand as of 12/15/2025 - 2,000+ Bandcamp plays - $1,000+ taken in - $889.88 donated After a month, the team couldn't be more proud. Thank you to everyone who has helped us get to this point, through listens, sales or shares. We are stronger together. <3 you all.

48 hours or so left! 49 listens to go! Cmon #musicsky! Help us get this #chiptune compo to 2k listens! Good music found here: bitcrushed.bandcamp.com/album/chip-f...
