Pryda is yet another alias of Swedish super producer Eric Prydz, yet this underground project is a far cry from his ‘Call On Me’ type production. The stuff he releases under the Pryda moniker is straight up classic electronic at it’s finest.

The track ‘Muranyi’ has been a long sought after track since Pryda first dropped it one of his live sets a few months back. It’s pretty progressive, slowly building up to that chiptune-esque melodic chorus which will have you pushing the repeat button like no other.


MP3:  Pryda - Muranyi [Reccomended]

The Muranyi / Balaton 12 inch was released September 5th on Pryda’s self titled label. You’d better pick up your copy while they are still around. And if you enjoyed that gem, wrap your mouse around this unreleased diamond.


MP3:  Pryda - Flyker (Cross Extended)

The busy man that he is, Eric has also has created finely crafted tunes as Cirez D since 2003, we posted about this alias back in April. The latest Cirez D release is titled ‘Horizons’ was released on Mouseville and the side A of the 12 contains a heater of a track called ‘Tigerstyle’.

And just for the hell of it enjoy this remix of Eric’s 2004 commercial classic ‘Call On Me’.

Laromlab does Daft Punk in chiptune.

daftpunkchiptune Laromlab does Daft Punk in chiptune.

Laromlab is a chiptune maestro. Chiptunes (also called “micro-music” and a few other cute titles) is music composed in a format whereby all the sounds are synthesized in realtime by a computer or video game console sound chip, instead of using sample-based synthesis. To understand and appreciate what that means, one needs only to have been a video game addict in the days of Commodore 64, Atari or the almighty Nintendo Entertainment System.

Laromlab makes sound the old fashioned way, with an Atari 1040STE, an Atari Falcon 030, & a Commodore 64. It’s only modern sequencing and arranging software that is used to bind all the different chip sounds together into a single track.

I’ve been a fan of Laromlab for a bit, but when he sent us these Daft Punk remixes (or what I’d consider covers), I knew I had to share:

MP3: Daft Punk - Around the World (Laromlab’s 2A03 Mix)

MP3: Daft Punk - Aerodynamic (Laromlab’s NES Advantage Mix)

How cool is that? It’s nostalgic, yet fresh!

Laromlab is currently signed to Mushpot Records and he’s got some nice original tracks on his MySpace that you ought to hear. 8-bits is more than enough to get funky.
