Sharp By Design

By Tweaklab on February 28, 2016 11:14 am

145BPM love letter to the Commodore Amiga scene.

Everything was written in Propellerhead Reason, no actual chiptune or MODs were used however I did downsample/crush a few things to get the low-fi goodness in places.

Also, the entire track was made using nothing but sharps as a bit of an exercise smile

Reminds me of something from a bullet hell style shooter from the 80s.

You got me with those downsampled rides and crashes... This would fit "Battle Squadron" perfectly. I only missed the "cracked by Fairlight" intro smile

Thanks everyone! This is one of my fave weeklybeats I've produced yet to be honest. I want to make a few more versions of it smile
