Well, it’s sorta time for a new banner of the month. Yes yes? I’ve had this one laying around for a long time and decided to finally put it to use. Listen to the LOZ wise man, people. He will guide you through the dungeon of 4CR.

ChipHydra has been added to the artists list, finally! He is ready to melt faces on 4CR, and mold those faces into DMGs. Then he will make amazing music with those faces and melt more faces with it. You can check his MySpace page here.
Today marks a brand new release for newcomer to the label, Scik!. He makes wonderful music that brilliantly mixes chiptune and breakcore. Yes, chiptune/breakcore does make the most of us instantly think of Sabrepulse (before he picked up the Game Boy) and Saskrotch, but Scik! is known to, at times, even bring unique pop culture samples into the mix. Not just that, but he does indeed use LSDJ as an instrument in these songs, which is not commonly seen in the chip/breakcore genre. With quality melodies and sick breakcore percussions, Scik! brings another quality EP to 4CR. Enjoy!
Tracklist:
1. Wombat Lightning
2. Skittles and Toothpicks
3. King Hippo Doomsday
4. Party Party A Go Go
5. The Chip Struggle

Chip Champion has arrived to 4 Channel Records! He makes Famitracker music. It’s real nice. Take a look at his MySpace for samples of his music: http://www.myspace.com/gogochipchampion. Check out his latest release too, it’s called Sloppy Seconds. We may be re-releasing it because it’s self released. It’s good stuff!

It’s May… in a few hours… and so we are kicking it off with another addition to the monthly banners. This time we went with green, simply because it looked best on the banner, but we used the plant overlays for the sake of many blooming plants. Enjoy the weather; I know I’ve been anticipating it.
The Surrogate Console is the second full-length from BCFT, and has been in the making since 2007. BCFT’s unique sound is truly defined with the grittiness and range that The Surrogate Console displays. Using NerdTrackerII, a Yamaha DJX, and Synthcart2600, the limits of the setup were pushed. Some tracks were recorded directly from the television, providing a nostalgic sense of late nights spent playing NES over the hum of a vintage color TV. It shifts from melodic, to haunting, to atmospheric, and back again, with a few covers thrown in for good measure. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Tracklist:
01. Game Bouyant
02. It’s Thinking
03. Michael Clayton 2: Clayton Harder
04. LazerTime!
05. Belongings
06. Someone Who Loves Me Went To Florida And All I Got Was This Song
07. Defeat The MCP
08. You Beta Believe It!
09. The Surf
10. All Out Race War 2025
11. Bette Davis Eyes
12. MemberFDIC
13. North American Grizzlies
14. Life’s Pretty Cheap To That Type, Janet
15. The Office

It’s the beginning of a new month, and we have a pretty new banner thanks to IAYD. It’s blue, for idk… a lot of water. We’ll be seeing quite a bit at the hands of April showers, yay spring. This is the first banner of the monthly series. Every month, a brand new banner. Keeps it looking fresh, ya know?

Well, FatalExceptionID has decided not to make the switch to 4CR after all. That’s okay though. So I guess when we make a split release together it’ll end up on Glitch City after all.
If you don’t know about Glitch City, it is the netlabel that is my PixlHome. Today they updated with a f*cking beautiful new layout. It’s much easier to navigate now and has a classy simple look to it. So check it out. Glitch City Records
