Miaou Miaou by Aisha Clan Clan
2016
The latest release from our friends at Gridwalk Media. Miaou Miaou is a special mix of delicate samples with medium speed drums programmed throughout. It’s a nostalgic, happy blend that’s truly hard to find in modern electronic music.

Four Tet – Randoms
2016
Four Tet offers up this “random” collection of tracks that were made as one-offs. For a hodgepodge it’s still a very consistent sound and great working music.

Definitely the best free/downloadable PC game I have ever played. It’s a run and jump cave exploration platformer with 16 levels, pixely graphics and catchy chip-music.

When you first start playing this game you’re going to die a lot, but the pleasure comes from knowing how to avoid that trap/monster/layout next time. There are a lot of powerups, weapons and useful items you can dig up, purchase or steal from cave-dwelling shop keeps. Originally made by just one guy, an X-Box Indie Arcade version of Spelunky is in the works. 5/5 Continue reading 2010 in Video Games
