Hey!

This video is going pretty viral and I'm surprised that I haven't seen it on here yet. Unlike the videos posted in the "chip in pop" thread the majority of these sounds are what you could consider chip sounds.

Well produced, good sounding, but I feel like unless we see more songs like this from Xilent we can write it off as "capitalizing on nostalgia" and stuff hmm

Xilent is my absolute favorite dubstep producer right now, I've also been listening to his earlier drum n bass stuff too and it's all very very good.

I mean there's a lot of guys out of the OC remix community that came up doing dubstep remixes of VGM tracks, and some big names like Zedd and Excision that have done major label VGM dubstep releases, but there's a big difference between sampling a classic VGM OST track and actually making an original track with chiptune VSTs (which you all know already)!

Because Xilent is not sampling another artist's work without permission. What you are describing is total apples and oranges. A little Internet research will uncover what Crystal Castles did that had everyone so mad.

No, I mean kids rip offing crystal castles style. Every upbeat sliced vocals song you hear around (kap bambino, you love her cos shes dead, any hipster from Austin, Tx) gets shit from "real" chiptuners, yet this guy takes advance from 16 bit nostalgia and its all fun and smiles.


For the record, the song is not bad for lamestep.
