Our expedition and research wouldn't be complete without @mvisual.bsky.social, who can handle even the most outlandish missions when it comes to illustrating our findings through her photography. Keep an eye out for her work on the 2 singles we've prepared and on the album's booklet. buff.ly/qqz39mD

Nov 14. Barrels will be smashed.. bananas reclaimed.. and Kongs let loose. #donkeykong #metal

He's the leader of the bunch, but you might not know him so well. This rare specimen tends to limit his musical endeavors to collaborations within the tribe of dweller kongs. Fortunately, he gave his blessing to the project and you'll even get to hear a sample of his work! buff.ly/qqz39mD

@ianmartyn.bsky.social hasn't only been crucial to the kong's activities because of his vast VGM knowledge, he is also a prolific arranger, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist. An integral part of several other groups of fauna, such as the one colloquially known as the "GrooveTroop". buff.ly/qqz39mD

The dweller kongs rely on all sorts of species for their musical shenanigans. One of such "animal friends" is @roninopf.bsky.social, know for his superb violin performances. This multifaceted bird also displays a liking for styles such as breakbeat and hip hop in his solo work. buff.ly/qqz39mD

@themanpf.bsky.social, @jnwake.bsky.social , @slowlycrushed.bsky.social y @audiomocha.com honored both the death and the living with their Cempasúchil cover. They won 4th place in the Dwelling of Duels competition, and it's undoubtedly our track of the year. Enjoy it on YouTube! youtu.be/nVkqEZ548l4

When I’m not shooting plastic I sometimes shoot ceramic. This is a photo for “Día de Muertos” here in Mexico. It’s a beautiful celebration, that remind us not only of our loved ones but also of our own mortality. #Diademuertos #Photography #Skull #Tealandorange #Cempasuchil #Flower

Our research indicates that a high percentage of the dweller kongs have at some point relied on the talents of yet another Kremling: drummer Kev Ragone, know for his work on bands like Close to Good and Super Strikers. His sound has become a staple in the scene, and for good reason! buff.ly/7Q63gu0

Join for a spooky listening party! This has been one of the most significant months for us here at Mega Mixtape, and all because of one entry! But the whole month is full of bangers. You don't want to miss out.

Known for monkeying around the VGM jazz scene in the San Francisco bay area along the Ultra Combo band, Newmajoe loves collaborating with his friends on their musical endeavors. He answered Extrinzinc's call and offered to help other kongs in the project. Truly a stand-up primate! buff.ly/7Q63gu0

Extrinzic is a multifaceted kong, prone to fooling around. Behind the silly faces, you'll find he loves his craft and works hard to realize his vision. Even if that includes extremely loud monkey howls. For this project he recruited other specimens to collaborate on his magnum opus. buff.ly/7Q63gu0

Lucina from FE: Awakening. For the background this time I experimented making a castle model with clay. Which photo from this series was your favorite? #ToyPhotography #FireEmblem #FireEmblemAwakening #Lucina #Photography

¡Another extra-long episode! Music from Hollow Knight, Final Fantasy Tactics, Undertale and Balatro, just to name a few! And lots of Zelda, focusing on Wind Waker with Ro Panuganti‘s “The Ocean”, our album of the month. 📷: @mvisual.photo Check replies for the full rundown👇 buff.ly/6Sat6JO

🍌🚨OUT NOW!!🚨🍌 "Treetop Terror" is the first single for our collaborative album "Feature Length: Donkey Kong Country Arranged", by @ironkeep.quest. An industrial metal take on an underrated track from DKC3. Available on Bandcamp and streaming platforms. buff.ly/n5ktkVi 📸 : @mvisual.bsky.social

Samus in the middle of battle! This photo was February's cover art for @megamixtape.com Like the previous one, it's part of the bold female characters series. #ToyPhotography #photography #samus #metroid

Some seemingly well intentioned Kremlings have also joined the project. And @ironkeep.quest is the friendliest one we've encountered. Paradoxically, he enjoys very dark and unsettling music, and currently resides in an "Iron Keep". Stay tuned for our first single featuring his music! buff.ly/HQx4QVv

@mvisual.bsky.social is now on Bluesky via Pinksky! Check out the full photo for our January episode of The Mix.

@slowlycrushed.bsky.social’s “Ash”, a post-rock take on two pieces from @marksparling.bsky.social’s score for A Short Hike, was recently posted to @ocremix.org. I took the opportunity to do the write-up that accompanies the mix post: ocremix.org/remix/OCR04921

This peculiar specimen refuses to reveal his face, but he isn't shy at all. @jnwake.bsky.social's penchant for progressive rock with bold transitions and solos, prove to the contrary. However, we suspect that something isn't quite right with this kong... 🍌 More details at: buff.ly/HQx4QVv

Join us for another banner art breakdown with @marawis.bsky.social, banner artist for Ghosts vs Zombies Month. Remember! Don’t cross the streams and tune in on the DoD Twitch channel next Saturday, October 18th, 2:00pm (ET) / 11:am (PT).

Meet @themanpf.bsky.social: our research indicates that this monkey can speak 3 languages, which might help explain why his music incorporates the performances of so many other species. He is probably the most versatile kong we've encountered. Get updates on all our findings: buff.ly/uRSCOwr

The idea to gather all the internet dwelling kongs and make album actually came from the funkiest of them all: @biggoron.quest. Expect plenty of funky synth solos with a touch of melancholy, from this fine specimen. Oddly enough, he runs mostly on kaffeine, not bananas. Check it out: buff.ly/uRSCOwr

We have dispatched Naop (our expert ludoprimatologist) to learn more about a tribe of seemingly sapient and internet dwelling primates, who like to cover VGM. Follow him as he tries to wrangle them into producing a sample of their craft, for purely scientific purposes. More details: buff.ly/uRSCOwr

Here's a better look at our brand new website. We hope this is a much better experience and an improved way to learn about all the projects we are involved with or recommend. Our album database continues to grow as well! www.megamixtape.com
