Interlude for the Underground

By roboctopus on February 22, 2026 9:53 pm

I am sick guys. Got the flu vaccine; still got the flu. hmm

WB is tough. I get that it's a personal challenge but I'm never quite sure how to define the rules for myself. This week I worked a lot on a gameboy version of the Evangelion theme (A Cruel Angel's Thesis) and a 20 minute set of gameboy chiptune/vaporwave type stuff. I don't feel like a cover would count and the chipwave stuff is mostly me trying to link existing material into a seamless live set, so I'm not going to count that either.

That leaves me with various random noodles I worked on this week. This is basically me trying out some sort of not-very-roboctopus style LSDJ. I wanted to do a sort of groovy low-key bass workout. I think it has some cool bits in it, but I'm frankly not sure what to do with it haha, since it's sort of outside my usual way of working. It seemed to want to sit on the groove and I usually work toward some sort of climax or something. I dunno. Maybe I'll revisit this. I guess it could kind of work as background music in a game though. A loop for some underground ruins exploration.

ugh, sorry bud - hope you feel better soon

i gotta say, i love your sound/aesthetic/sensibility so much that just a random jam from you is a real treat

heart

Hope you start feeling better smile

Oh no! I hope you feel better soon!

Even though this may not be aligned with your other Roboctopus weeklybeats so far, it's still a very fun jam! And it's always fun to use weeklybeats as an excuse to try something different. I enjoyed this a lot!

Get well soon. I'll just be over here bopping to this sick groove

Punchin’ in for another day of beatin’ em up at the Endless Mook Factory.

Thanks guys! I was knocked out for like half the week. The flu sucks!

This is a fun one!
Sorry about the flu... Hope you're feeling better by now!

Solid bop.
