Retro Gaming Song Remixes (UPDATE)

Da Chip Releases Second Volume of Reimagined Daft Punk Music

— February 24, 2012 — Pop Culture
Da Chip, which is a Daft Punk tribute project featuring songs remixed to sound as though they belong on vintage game consoles, has recently released their second full-length album. Beginning in 2008, the project has grown and attracted music engineers from across the globe to reinterpret beloved tunes with the blips and chip noises of the NES and Atari eras of gaming. Fans of either of those two things should definitely give Da Chip a thorough listen.

On volume 2 of Da Chip are classics like ‘Something About Us,’ ‘Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger,’ ‘Da Funk’ and ‘Crescendolls.’ Each track faithfully captures every nuance of Daft Punk’s music. Listeners may be surprised to hear vocals in these songs, as voices and narration were often not a part of video games 30 years ago.
Trend Themes
1. Retro Gaming Music - There is an opportunity to create a platform that provides retro gaming soundtracks for video game and music enthusiasts alike.
2. Chiptune Revival - There is an opportunity to bring back the chiptune genre and apply it to new music production and remixes.
3. Nostalgia-driven Music - There is an opportunity to tap into consumers' nostalgia for vintage gaming and create new music using old-fashioned sounds as a unique selling point.
Industry Implications
1. Music Production - Music producers can create new remixes and original tracks utilizing retro gaming sounds and chiptune genre to appeal to nostalgic consumers.
2. Video Game Design - Video game designers can incorporate retro gaming music and sounds into new games to give players a sense of nostalgia and old-school gaming experience.
3. Music Streaming - Music streaming platforms have the opportunity to create a new category for retro gaming music and chiptune genre, appealing to a broad range of music enthusiasts and retro gaming fans.
