This Week in Chiptune is a weekly music show highlighting some of the best new Chiptunes from around the world. The show is hosted and mixed live by Dj CUTMAN.

Sometimes called chipmusic, 8bit, bitpop or lo-fi, chiptune music is sometimes created with old video game hardware, or obsolete technology. Because of the way it is created, Chiptune has a quality and style unlike most other forms of electronic music. Some chiptune musicians use modern music production tools in conjunction with 8-bit synths and hardware to create chiptune music with a modern edge.

Full track-listings and download links for all music played on TWiC are available in the description of each episode, and also on ThisWeekInChiptune.com

    TWiC 200: Groundbreakers & Skyscrapers (Grand Finale)

    TWiC 200: Groundbreakers & Skyscrapers (Grand Finale)

    For the grand finale of This Week in Chiptune, I selected 200 of my favorite chiptune and chip-inspired tracks from a pool of over 7000; my entire collection of singles, albums and compilations that were sourced to create the series. I've included some historic and groundbreaking tracks from the chiptune scene, some of these songs stretch back almost a decade. I've also include tracks by musicians and producers who've taken the chiptune to new heights. There are also some of my personal favorites and mainstay musicians of TWiC. Thank you so much for the last 5 years and two hundred incredible episodes; a special thank you to all my patrons on Patreon for making it possible.

    TWiC 197: Classic Chiptune Hardware (Gameboy, NES and Genesis)

    TWiC 197: Classic Chiptune Hardware (Gameboy, NES and Genesis)

    This episode we're going to focus on hardware based chiptune music, including gameboy songs made with the homebrew rom LSDj, Nintendo-style music made with NES compatible program Famitracker, and FM Synthesis like the Sega Genesis! Fans of old PC games will be pleased to know we've got an album created entirely on the Sound Blaster 16, a soundcard for home computers released back in 1992. That's what we're going to hear first, by chiptune legend and Oxygen Star who got his start performing live drums at PAX East in Boston.

I’ve been listening to TWiC for years now

it’s kinda sad that it ended but I still listen to this

(o^^o)

Al Sparrow ,

Wonderful Chill

For anyone who’s enjoyed game music their whole life, and the endearing synthetic groove that it had through the 80’s, this is for you.

Chris H from Columbus GA ,

The Last Episode!?

I've been listening to TWiC for YEARS. I'm so sad to see it go, but it has been a wild ride. I'm grateful to have had this to listen to all this time. Thank you Dj CUTMAN! You are amazing, and I can't wait to see what you do next. The Final Episode is fantastic!

(Note: I listen on Pocket Casts, but I needed a place to leave a review, so here it is!)
