Nagz chiptunes remastered & on Spotify, iTunes, Google Play etc. (yes, PIPI is included)
category: music [glöplog]
Heyyo!
Glad to announce - here first - an LP where I gathered 30 of my old chiptunes, slightly re-mastered them and submitted them on various streaming sertvices and shops!
Contains 2 co-ops, one with Zabutom and one with Dualtrax. Tunes are originally XM and MOD files under 100kbyte, 2 of them were made in Renoise and are bigger.
You can now go and stream or grab them in numerous platforms listed in the page (coming soon to Amazon as well):

Knowing Pouet, thought it may be good to have a little Q&A thingie.
"Why would I buy/stream if I can listen to the tracker files themselves?"
You are fully at liberty to listen to them in the tracked format if you want. These uploads are mostly for the underprivileged who may have never even heard of trackers, or for people who conveniently want to play it from Spotify, etc. instead of having to install XmPlay on their office computer, for example. Also, all the tracks are remastered for better listening experience. That alone worth the hassle I think.
"You're a member of Maniacs of Noise, aren't you? Why isn't the album branded as such?"
These tunes were made years before I joined MoN, so I didn't feel using the name justified. But I am sure the MoNarchs of the group will spread the word!
"Album release says 2010 but your Dualtrax coop is from 2012...?"
YEEEES I know!... these things happen when you sacrifice sleeping for stuff like this.
"Are these all of your chiptunes?"
No. This is about 20% of them. These are the better ones, or ones I may not like that much but were very well received by others.
"Can we expect a pt. 2 from the rest of your chiptunes?"
At this moment, I'd say Nope. I pretty much just wanted an official closure on my long-abandoned chiptune era and just move on.
"You're such a sellout! Demoscene music is not for sale!"
Yeah, well, I own my own songs and I pretty much do what I want with them! :P
Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with being a rebel at heart (more than ever), but honestly, it would be dumb not to try to leverage a possible source of passive income for tunes I made 15+ years ago and are still somewhat popular. I mean, sheesh, some of them even became a meme in certain youtuber communities. I am not particularly proud of that thing but it's there..
"LOOOL there was a prod already called 'Chips don't lie' by Ephidrena and Darklite. You're not that witty, nagz"
To be fair, after I hit release, it dawned upon me like 'SHIT, I didn't check if someone has already used up the name!', mainly because I was in a hurry. Well.. accidents happen. I hope the Ephidrena and Darklite guys are OK with it. It's not a ripoff of the name, I came up with it separately. Honest. Are we good? We good, guys? Okay.
(Plus that one is a demo and this one is an album so there's no place for confusion..)
"You are selling 2 coop tunes, one with Zabutom, one with Dualtrax. Not Cool, Dude!"
Obviously it's discussed and settled with them. Even if it says "Nagz - Title feat. not-nagz", they own half of what those 2 tunes make. All good.
"PIPI is still my ringtone!"
You're awesome! Just like my pal, Selfmademusic, who likes to blast it loud in public and film people's reactions. It's hilarious.
"Your tunes suck!"
Yeah, I know... I'm sorry :(
That's all, go spread the word & hope you enjoy!
