Renegade 8 is a Portuguese chiptune artist who loves to work with the NES, and his debut release, Dark City is out now! With a sinister underlying story it's something of a concept album. If you're a fan of melodic, action-themed chiptunes don't miss this.

"Renegade 8's debut release is a mesmerizing nighttime journey through the seedy underbelly of chiptune. Pulling a variety of samples from the crackling guts of an NES, Renegade 8 uses these sounds to craft melodic, action-packed chiptunes reminiscent of side-scrolling beat 'em ups set across subway stations, dimly-lit streets and grimy alleyways. Do you have what it takes to make it all the way to Dark City in one piece?"

"Winter is drawing closer as Jack Frost curls his icy palm around much of the globe. The mood changes from one of melancholy to preservation, as snow falls, nature hibernates and the ground turns to concrete."

Stay warm folks!
