  • 8-Bit Jesus: Full Album Release


    From DoctorOctoroc.com:

    Just in time for Christmas, it’s the full version of 8-Bit Jesus: Classic Christmas Songs in the Style of Classic NES Games. This
    full release contains 18 tracks total, including improved variations
    of a few of the original nine! Please be sure to check out the new amazing cover art for the full release, designed by Jude Buffum.

    To download the album for free, click the
    appropriate link below. The download is available in both ZIP and RAR
    formats, or you can download individual tracks if you wish. To listen
    to a few of the tracks, please visit my Myspace page.

    If you really like the album, please consider donating any amount
    you wish via PayPal. If you don’t have PayPal and still wish to make a
    donation, money orders are more than welcome. Just shoot me an email to get my mailing address.

     

    Anyone who donates $15 or more will receive a physical copy of 8-Bit Jesus in the mail (see picture above for package, designed by Jude Buffum). If
    you donate $30, you will receive two, and so on. These include first
    class shipping, so don’t worry about that. If you live outside the
    U.S., please be prepared to wait a few weeks from the shipping
    date to receive your copy. I will be mailing these out in the order I
    receive the donations, but obviously, International shipping takes
    longer.

    Due to the insanity of the holiday season, I will likely not be able
    to mail the copies out until after Christmas, but that all depends on
    how many I have to send. Many, I would hope! If your PayPal address is
    different from the address to which you want the copy mailed, make sure
    you include the correct mailing address in a note along with your
    payment, or in an email after you make your payment (be sure to include
    your PayPal confirmation number, or PayPal e-mail address, if different
    from the email from which you send the address information). Click the
    “Contact Doctor Octoroc” button at the right side of the top menu to
    send me a message, or just send an email to jazzlevi[at]yahoo[dot]com. For anyone who forgets to send their address, I will send a message to get this information when I get to your order. Please be patient, as I am producing, packaging, and mailing these myself.

    EDIT 01: I’ve decided, due to the number of donations I’ve
    gotten so far, to send these to a professional cd duplication/printing
    place. The advantage is, you get an even better looking physical copy!
    The disadvantage is, you might have to wait til mid January or even
    beginning of February to get it. Trust me, it will be worth the wait!
    You’ve seen the artwork above, right? Imagine that times six, and
    that’s the finished package deal! Actually…multiply it by seven,
    counting the disc.

    EDIT 02: You may have trouble downloading the file(s) due to
    massive downloads (that’s what I get for offering this for free,
    haha), so please visit one of the following links to download a mirror
    if you expereinced problems coming to the site!

  • Paper Your Walls with the New ThaSauce Wallpaper

    I’ve had the new logo sitting around for awhile, and while I still can’t afford to get those new shirts printed, I decided I’d make some wallpapers.

    You can download the whole pack here:

    https://thasauce.net/misc/thasauceWallpaper.zip

    I also included a PSD template so you can make around with it and customize it for yourself.

    Enjoy 😮

  • ReMix:ThaSauce ‘To Be Post’ list updated, QC forum updates, podcast limbo, etc..

    So first of all, I’d like to say thanks to everyone who came out and submitted stuff to ReMx:ThaSauce over the past few weeks. We really appreciate it, guys. There’s so much great music out there just waiting to be heard, and we wanna make sure it reaches as many people as possible.

    I’ve gone ahead and posted what I have TAGGED AND READY to be posted in the thread on the QC forums. This isn’t a concrete list of what I have, or what’s going to be direct posted, but more an idea of where I am RIGHT NOW. Expect some updates to this thread, and the QC forums in general over the next week or so. Our Arbiters are probably going to have to come out of hibernation for a bit, too =P

    On top of that there’s been some dicussion about reforming VGDJ @ OCR, and it brought up the reminder that WE haven’t done a podcast in some time. I’d been busy with finishing up school, and starla had a few things she’s been taking care of too. I think we’re ready to start getting something going again, and I know I said I’d have one ready by last Friday, but really there’s just so much to cover we’re having trouble fitting it all into 1 show. Anywhere we’re pretty close to (if not totally done with) ironing out what we plan to put in the next show, so you guys should expect one VERY VERY SOON…but seriously.

    Lastly I’d still like to remind people that, even though I got a good ammount of submissions lately, they’re still pretty far and few between overall. So keep’em comin’. We wanna make sure all the music we can gets to as many people as possible, and the best way to do that is to have a constant flow of stuff coming in.

    If you didn’t see it on ReMix:ThaSauce my original post is here:

    So, some people think we’re dead, but we’re not. I ASSURE YOU. We’re just in a dry spell for submissions (unofficial count right now is 1 to be QC’d and 1 to be posted, but don’t quote me on that because I’m not exactly checking RIGHT NOW).

    That in mind…SUBMIT. If you submitted before and have new stuff? Submit! If you submitted before and got rejected? SUBMIT! If you know someone who has a song that they’ve finished but haven’t posted it anywhere or got it rejected from OCReMix? Tell them to submit! If you submitted a song and it didn’t get posted and it didn’t go to the qc RESUBMIT! It happens sometime (except you, Bren. I got you.)

  • Skrypnyk Releases New Album, ”Suburbia”

    “Greetings. I would like to present to you, my first full length album Suburbia.”


    click image to download
    continued below

    “Over the past two years, I’ve been working off and on this album.
    Trying to do a style a little different then what I’ve normally done. A
    more psychedelic, chill-out, downtempo style while keeping everything
    atmospheric and ambient.

    “With 11 songs, it comes in at over 44 minutes in length. Making it my longest release to date.

    “Want to support this starving artist? Send a donation via paypal

    “Don’t have any spare change and still want to help out? Tell
    you’re friends, family, school mates, co-workers, allies and enemies.
    Word of mouth is my #1 choice in advertisement.

    “Enjoy, and thanks for listening.”

    -Skrypnyk

    Any fan of Skrypnyk’s work will already know what to do. However, his original work is very underrated and mostly unknown, so if this stuff is new to you please do check this out. He doesn’t seem to like attention but he needs some forced upon him 😀 so download away!

  • An OverClocked Christmas: Volume 2 – Unofficial Christmas Album Project

    As many of you know, last year, I headed a project called An OverClocked Christmas, which brought together some very talented individuals who gave us eleven tracks of very cool Christmas music.  Well, I’m at it again this year.  I’ve started An OverClocked Christmas: Volume 2, and it’s the next logical step.
    It’s an open project, so anyone who is interested in contributing a
    track can submit a WIP (by the first WIP date, of course) for the
    project.  It’s a small project, and runs until Monday, December 22.
    The first WIP deadline is Wednesday, December 10 at 11:59pm.  Which
    means, I have to have it in my inbox by then (see thread at OCR for more info).

    Anyone
    interested in joining the project, please check the first post, and
    post in the thread to let me know that you’re joining so I can add you
    to the main post.  Also, there is no limit on the number of songs you
    can do, as long as you can handle the work load, I’m always happy to
    accept multiple songs from the same artist.
