[Gaia]

Well, I just drop this here, because I feel like sharing this amazing live set with you guys.

It was performed at Assembly (last year), and for anyone who remembers the days of trackers and 8/16-bit videogame OSTs this is an absolutely essential listen.

The set gradually builds up the bpm, ending with Alek’s demented Never Forget and Duck Tales remixes, followed by the highscore theme from The Great Giana Sisters (a track I could listen to for hours, it seems). What’s also really impressive is that their original tunes easily stand up to the melodies from heavyweights like Hülsbeck and Sakaguchi. I’d love to hear them take on some of Tim Follin’s tracks - LED Storm has been remixed to death, but an Alek/Byproduct version of that would be something to hear…

Anyway, I haven’t enjoyed a set this much for a very long time, and there are even edited versions of Maruuk and Iron Squid in here for the freeform-only crew.
