It’s taking a while for some people to catch on, so here is the official post.

Thanks to the artists for the wonderful releases.

[4CR010] – ChipTots – Self titled EP

PixlCrushr — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 02:48:56 +0000

Better than Crystal Castles and your favorite video game playing with your iPod in the corner, comes ChipTots. With quality sound, singing, drum playing, guitar playing, and chipping, there are just no words to describe the beauty that lies beneath this EP. You’re just going to have to take my word. This release is definitely not one to miss, and if you do miss it, big mistake on your part. They have all the melodies, harmonies, and talent you could ever desire. Be on the lookout for these guys!

Tracklist:
1. Abre
2. Chloro Cross
3. FF00FF

UPDATE: No more aritst spots. :(

Sorry, but my goodness this label has gotten bigger than I planned. We are no longer accepting demos for full time artists, but we are still accepting demos for guests. You won’t have a profile page here, but your releases can still be posted up if approved. Just keep in mind, we are more strict now for the sake of avoiding cluster.

Also, we will be more accepting towards more alternative styles, as we are trying to expand our catelogue.

Thanks,
-Pixl!

Update – Banner of the… whaaa!?

PixlCrushr — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 03:28:12 +0000

As you can see, we are already getting lazy with the banner of the month. What you see above isn’t September’s banner, it is instead a placeholder. Blends in with the thick, black sides of the table though… rite? Thanks for the placeholder, IAYD!
-Pixl.

Update – Banner of the Month – August

PixlCrushr — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 06:42:43 +0000

I don’t really care about August, to be honest with you. I like the way this one turned out though! The Lego Game Boy is for you. So soak it in, and quickly try to do everything you pushed aside this summer. June and July just went by all too quickly!

[4CR006] Chip Champion – Sex With Robots

PixlCrushr — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 04:45:31 +0000

“This is the third official release from Chip Champion. Hope you enjoy! In the future we may have the technology to travel through space or time, we might even have flying cars… but the one thing everybody really wants is to have sex with robots. And who knows… maybe we will live to see such a wonderful future <3 <3 <3″

Chip Champion made all of the following tracks with FamiTracker. The music style varies and has a lot of originality. It gets to the point where we can’t really describe it, but when listening to it, you can almost imagine that it is an OST for a NES game. It stays true to the genre, that’s for sure. Bottom line, Chip Champion’s “Sex With Robots” is a fun release with a lot to offer.

Tracklist:
01. Astro Cat’s Symphony of Space
02. Searching for Gamma
03. Stage 5 – Record Store
04. gogogobloodbloodbloodkillkillkill
05. Post Apocalyptic
06. Cybercycle Mk. VI
07. Count Christovian
08. The Fires of Industry
09. Echo
10. Butt Funking
11. DreamEscape

[4CR005] PixlCrushr – Famis for the Whole Family!

PixlCrushr — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 06:20:04 +0000

It’s a new EP from PixlCrushr, but not the one people were expecting. Famis for the Whole Family! is PixlCrushr’s attempt at an all NES release, using FamiTracker for every song on it. This EP is 99% FamiTracker. The other 1%? Only some tool assisted ambiance during a small portion of one song. The EP was made mostly at the end of March, directly after the self titled album was completed, and can be explained as 2007 release Flamethrower‘s sequel. The release can also be explained as the cycle of a caffeine rush. Mellow at first, a quick burst of energy, and then the process of mellowing out again. This small release packs a lot of melodies, mellowed out beats, and just the right amount of noise and bass fueled energy from the track Pixel Army.

Tracklist:
1. Launch Day pt. II
2. B is Run
3. Pixel Army
4. It’s A Pixly Pixl World
5. Hexadecimal Endings
