By Request, Vol. 128

Modern pop and hip-hop hits reimagined through the limited, charming palette of a vintage game console. High-energy, pixelated, and strangely familiar.

April 28, 2021

A bright, digital playfulness that wraps modern chart-toppers in a warm blanket of retro-gaming nostalgia.

Moments Worth Listening For

The surprisingly intricate square-wave shredding that mimics Steve Vai's guitar technique on Knappsack.

The way the melancholic vocal melody of Runaway is translated into a piercing, crystalline synth lead.

The rhythmic pulse of Lemon Pepper Freestyle becoming a steady, hypnotic 8-bit groove over six minutes.
