A collab with kilowatt, which was a blast, especially seeing how our two approaches were able to blend together so well. Hope you enjoy it!

*** FROM HABERCHUCK ***

Certain elements of summer stand out best among the waning vestiges of the day's sun, as the nearby lights — be it of your quiet neighborhood streets or various destinations of late night — are ushered into labor. On my end, this track resembles in a way the heightened moods of a hot night in July. We used to take vacations to Ocean City, Maryland, and I'd spend pretty much all of my time after dinner wandering the boardwalk and playing arcade machines, so it really seems to come full circle here.

Made via Furnace using the YM2610B chip. While there are obvious SoR influences, my initial inspiration was Summertime by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. Summers are for grooves, after all.

Rendered a standard .WAV, normalized and exported as an .MP3 via Audacity. If anybody somehow has something that legitimately play and record the chip's music, let us know!

HIT IT

This was fun, thanks!! And this soundchip is great, cool combination of FM, square, and DPCM. I'd never used it before and would highly recommend.

Yeah, I definitely recommend checking out some Neo-Geo soundtracks, which use a slightly more restrictive version of the chip (4 FM channels instead of 6). Despite the reduced FM capacity, the PCM channels let them make some great grooves and feature a lot of "real" instruments, often with that crunchy 16-bit sound. Especially if you use a breakbeat loop or something to cover the drums, then you have a ton of space to work with other samples, though only one channel can pitch correct, so for anything chromatic you'd have to bounce a shitload of the same instrument lol (A M 4 N has a few great tracks like this).

Ooh, swing lounge nighttime stuff. Great work, folks!

Also, SoR AND DJ Jazzy Jeff + Fresh Prince inspired?! Absolutely can't go wrong with this combo~
