One Night Left
By
Friday night was One Night Left, the chiptune club night organised by award-winning radio show, One Life Left, to mark the almost-end of Nottingham’s GameCity conference.
The show was headlined by Sabrepulse and Syphus, two incredibly lovely and eloquent 8-bit music nerds, who also led an insightful (and terrifying) compositional masterclass earlier in the afternoon.
It was a special night, spent with friends, dancing and having the best of times. After the proper acts finished around midnight, a few of us DJ’d. Here are the songs I played, for those who couldn’t be there.
Our time was cut a little short, so I only played a few of these, and generally shorter mixes that I’d prepared for the night. But here are the full tracks of everything I would have played nevertheless. It’s a mixture of chiptune and original compositions from games. If you don’t like one thing, then don’t panic: perhaps you’ll like the next thing.
Opening with the Rusko remix of the Bionic Commando theme was pretty much a life highlight. Thanks to Mike Nowak for the hott tip. While I’m mentioning Mike, go listen to his chiptune-related dubstep mix. It’s quite brilliant.
Ok, ready up.

Wish I was there, but the scheduling of all these London gaming events made it an impossibility. Their scheduling department should look into that.

I have your CD! What’s the full tracklist of it? Though maybe I can work it out from the above.
