Re: Preferred song and release length (15 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I try and write songs under two minutes where possible. I've become really fond of the idea of fitting as much as possible in a tiny space whilst it still functioning as a structured song, and I've yet to write a track this year longer than 2:00. It's not a golden rule, it's just how I write, I'm not a huge fan of mass repetition in my own work.
Also I prefer releasing EPs as if you ARE writing tracks all around 1:30 long then 30 of them lumped together would be tiring as to listen to, so I'm grouping by 7/8 tracks at the moment.

Topic: TWG013| V/A - Anti-Chiptune Chiptune [OUT noW] (4 replies, posted in Releases)
At TWG, we've always pushed the odd, the weird, and the emotionally robust. In celebration of the more esoteric corners of the chiptune stratosphere we've compiled 19 tracks from some of chiptune's most notable and talented purveyors of "what?" to showcase what can be done when the term chiptune is examined. From scene veterans as prolific as Alex Mauer and inpuj's ilkae, to newer blood like Nappes and TWG staples like Guardia and Vegas Diamond. We've got the final every Fauxhound track, +Let's Disinfect!+ covering Bit Shifter's 'Activation Theme' in a folk punk style, an Alex Mauer track written in 1997 and live NES Rom manipulation from DJ NORTON ANTIVIRUS. Plus a whole ton more. Some is unexplainable, some is not chiptune and som is not music, but we hope you enjoy this eclectic selection of oddities. ~~~~Thank you for listening to the ACCSS' message~~~~

I know exactly what you mean.. I sent out a million emails this morning to venues!
I really feel like starting a south coast promotions company this summer?
Anyone in?
Alex Kelly and I (we do this this and this) have been thinking about doing something like this for aeons, so count us the fuck in. Also I'm SOOO down for some sort of chip meet n greet too!! (I'm staying in Portsmouth on me own over Easter to get uni work done so I'd appreciate the company :'( ~sob story #12)

Week #10| cTrix - Dark
We're setting off on March, SoundBytes month, with a HUGE track from scene veteran/Atari molester cTrix! Australia hitting it bigtime brahhhs
We also thought it'd be fun to announce next month's curator a bit early this month too: April will be taken over by none other than the party machine EINDBAAS!!. We're only just getting started
Finally, Alex Kelly and I are putting a name on us as a curating team. This May we'll be launching NTWRK, a site that will be acting as an 'umbrella company' which TWG, Pxl-Bot and WeeklyTreats will be showcased under. Basically a 'corporation' with TWG, Pxl-Bot and WeeklyTreats as the subsidiaries; think of NTWRK as the 'Sony Music' and Pxl-Bot as 'Columbia Records' or something, but with less soul crushing and more smiles and kisses. But it's not just an umbrella, we've got another aspect of the site which will be explained very soon~~~~~~ [and is exciting as fuck]
So have a good week and enjoy this cracking track!!
