Without the need for an introduction, we here at Pxl-Bot proudly present, Analog.
Moving away from dirty dance punches and experimental guitar and drum layered insanity; here Analog showcases another incredibly talented take on a completely different style. Ambient soundscapes coupled with a chiptune layer of sound form some of the most beautiful music that’s ever been created, and quite frankly, the best ambient-based chiptune that has ever been released.  Pleasing to the ear on all accounts, Analog manages to keep you entranced in a wave of ever-changing sounds and enough atmosphere to make you feel dizzy. Slowly creeping through your mind and relaxing your muscles as it goes, this really defines what a good release is, not only does it merely consist of good music, but the process of listening to it is an experience. And, if you ask us, that is what defines a great piece of music. We hope you enjoy the experience as much as we did, as Analog is, on all accounts, and pure master of musical compostion.

Tracklist:
1.    Una Manera De Comenzar
2.    Como Ayer
3.    Promenade
4.    Violeta

Short but so incredibly sweet, Pxl-Bot are incredibly happy to bring you the debut release from The Hamlet.
Melodically driven with an extensive use of harmonics to tame the listener, The Hamlet creates structurally simple yet very powerful songs, opting for a focus on melody to draw the listener in. As if telling a story, the tracks on this release run together to form an inner monologue of a narrative, inflaming the imagination and creating landscapes through the expert use of differing instrumentation. The choosing of specific timbre has been dealt with down to a tee, making each track stand out though both atmosphere and expression, causing this to be one hell of an impressive debut EP and one which we are incredibly proud to have unearthed for you.

Tracklist:
1.    The Burning Bridge
2.    Moutain Ascent
3.    Forest Outskirts
4.    Fog Rising
5.    Frozen Lake
6.    The Valley

Bringing you our second Canadian in a row, Pxl-Bot proudly present to you, DJ Eastern Blok.
Catchy and danceable tunes as the dish of the day here, DJ Eastern Blok manipulates his bass and drums to form a groove-minded coalition to serve as the back ground for his expertly manufactured melodies which jump between assonance and dissonance with an incredible ease to keep you off guard. Body pumping is the best way to describe this cohesively strong release, which whilst following a very similar style throughout, still finds time to digress from its own mould to make use of samples or more downright creepy atmospheres (see “Zombies Value Brains Over Beauty”). Ladle all of this with a healthy dose of trance influence and you have a winning release, and one we are truly proud to bring to our label.

Tracklist:
1.    Hello Blue Eyes
2.    Zombies Value Brains Over Beauty
3.    Moonlit Starshine
4.    Au Revoir Nuit

Pxl-Bot are incredibly excited to be bringing you a release from the burningly good Candaian artist, Battle Lava.
A whole lot darker than his recent work, Battle Lava crafts a dirty sounding dance frenzy in the form of “Screen Hallucinations”, drawing influences from a selection of familiar sounds and giving them new grimy premise. Whilst a departure on the whole from his usual sound, the skill at which he tackles the dirt shows nothing but a higher skill at manipulating his compositions into new ideas and a growing range of styles. Sounding like an underground post-apocalyptic rave and invoking as much despair as required, this short but incredibly strong release has clearly been put together with a huge amount of attention paid to the details. Quite possibly the dirtiest release we’ve had over our way, we hope, and are pretty damn sure looking at his track record, that you’ll enjoy another fantastic release from the large and varied discography of Battle Lava.

Tracklist:
1.    Screen Hallucinations
2.    Pirate Broadcast
3.    Flicker Tech
4.    Discarnate Future

From Konni:
“This album is basically a mixtape of different stuff I made a year ago,
There’s some ambient and some chipmusic shit as well, so here you go.

Yeah, this isn't really anything serious, but I still wanted to share it!
If you wanna hear good Holy Konni, go to http://www.freizeitmeister.org/music/ea … r-already/

Memorable and easy to consume, much like Konni’s “serious” work, this mixtape is sure to have you hooked through its expansive and varying depths.

With his third release over here at Pxl-Bot, Kommisar relentlessly keeps up appearances with another shotgun blast of insane melody, catchy hooks and full-throttle pacing on his birthday. Spreading the cheer like a boss.
Spanning six short but eclectic songs, Kommisar’s most recent outing brings even more of the sound fans of his work will have come to love and appreciate. The focus on melody and song structure are as strong as ever, whilst still supplying listeners new sounds to keep them interested and in awe of the versatility of this nothing short of full quality artists. Nothing really highlights these points more than the song “SuperFreak”, with its twisting solos and melodies which are ripe as fuck; it sums up the musical career of this astonishingly good artist remarkably well.

Melodically inclined with bass lines reeking of acid, Pxl-Bot proudly present Mega Flare’s debut release.
Insanely catchy and etched on a melancholy stone, this strong release harbours so much passion it’s unforgettable. Melodies such as those in “Just Thinkin” are just plain beautiful, the bass line on the opener “Darkside” is inspiring, and throughout the entire release there are enough moments to fully paint the name Mega Flare into your mind. Sounding like the soundtrack for a futuristic steam punk tragedy, Round One’s incredibly dance-minded shenanigans are sure to leave you open-jawed with the aid of the incredibly strong climax in the form of “Awake”. One of the strongest debuts around, this is the type of release that makes our policy of focusing on new talent heavily justified.

Tracklist:
1.    Darkside
2.    Just Thinkin
3.    Walking Up

Using the drums as the spine, Cookeh constructs his musical skeleton through his beats before supplying memorable melodies and drops to flesh it all out.

Memorable, easy to swallow, and unquestionably catchy, Cookeh has created a valuable new item to be added to the chip repertoire.

The counterpart to mondays release is here, the second of three releases this week by AndrewKilpatrick. We are proud to bring you Square Wave Octave [Minor].

Andrew's second full length album holds the same brilliant standard as the first. Carrying on with the theme of the first album each wonderful track goes up a note from the previous except that this time they are all major. It then returns to minor in the last track so that it can loop back round to the beginning and the masterpiece can cycle forever until your head explodes from the awesomeness. This is an album that is needed just the same as the first so what are you waiting for, get it now.

Tracklist:

1. Paperclips (C Major)
2.A Royal Occasion (C# Major)
3. When Love Visits (D Major)
4. Collision (D# Major)
5. Future Through The Looking Glass (E Major)
6. Trident (F Major)
7. Gone Fishing (F# Major)
8. Une Baguette (G Major)
9. Insect (G# Major)
10. Nemo (A Major)
11. Shifting Sands And Falling Plans (A# Major)
12. The Next Summer Hit (B Major)
13. Paperslits (C Minor)

http://www.pxl-bot.com/2011/06/pb014-an … -wave.html

Kick starting off this weeks trio of releases from our very own Andrew Kilpatrick is Square Waves Octave [Minor].

This is Andrew's first full length album and it does not disappoint. This album as well as its counterpart, to be released later this week, has a theme of sorts, in which each of its expertly crafted tracks steps up a key from the last until eventually the first song is repeated in the opposite modality to lead onto the following album and vice versa. It is as if Andrew had danced along a piano tapping out songs as he moved along. The tracks are solid, with ambient tones, crackling drums and melodies which make you quiver at the knees. It is definitely an amazing release and a must have for all chip fans.


Track List:

1. Hello World (C Minor)
2. Slow And Methodical (C# Minor)
3. Unknown (D Minor)
4. Groundhog Day (D# Minor)
5. Rapture (E Minor)
6. Bleeding Hears (F Minor)
7. Inhaling Ash And Sentiments (F# Minor)
8. Lineage (G Minor)
9. Greek Tragedy (G# Minor)
10. Iron Oxide (A Minor)
11. Dead Skin (A# Minor)
12. Walking With A Pair Of Broken Ankles And Five Ounces Of Ketamine (B Minor)
13. Goodbye World (C Major)

It is Pxl-Bot’s highest pleasure to bring you this ground-destroying piece of work from 8bc fave, MONODEER. Slow, dark and riddled with a sense of despair, this heavily dub inspired debut offering from MONODEER drags you in quickly and smothers you quietly in its’ intoxicatingly suffocating atmosphere. Far from being one dimensional, Noise.bmp leaks lo-fi charm corrupted with its own dark innards taking influence from noise music and a definite doom-esque ting. Far from being one dimensional, MONODEER goes onwards from his pre-established groove-fuelled aggression to inject a healthy amount of hook riddled melody before “Shatter” does as its name suggests. From start to finish this innovative and awe-inspiring    release oozes a dark atmosphere from every orifice, creating one of the most refreshingly new sounding chip releases of the year. Think less dubstep, and more darkstep. 

Tracklist:
1.    Tubelights
2.    March Of The Grizzly Bears
3.    Synthetiseur
4.    Shatter
5.    Dooom
6.    Hunters (The Chase)

Bringing his second release to Pxl-Bot and also our 10th release, Kommisar returns on his usual fantastic form. His usual melodically focused memorable chaos has returned, this time with a slightly darker twist to compliment the increase in range of this astonishingly fresh artist. Rarely does an artist produce so much material this regularly that seems this new and original each time round. From the very beginning Kommisar breaches new heights of structural and musical complexity and achieves so with apparent ease whilst still managing to lodge his hefty melodic hooks in your cortex. Featuring an Iron Maiden inspired chip re-imaging, a vs track with Zaghurim on the release closer and a return to his classic track “La Lune du minuit éternel” this is Kommisar’s most accomplished and broad release to date. We here at Pxl-Bot are once again very proud to bring you another release by this Chip God. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
