Stay
I am an artist who definitely wouldn’t dare compromise their integrity for anyone. On an unrelated note, here’s the smash hit of the summer converted for the sound chip from the Sega Genesis/Megadrive… Preview Mechafatnick · Stay (16-bit Version) Buy/Stream
In the Blue Sky
Uplifting and inspirational, In the Blue Sky is one of my favorite Sega tunes – so why not remake it for the FM-tastic sounds of the YM2612? Preview Mechafatnick · In the Blue Sky (16-bit) Buy/Stream
Final Fight: the Zx Spectrum Versions
I noticed the basic ZX Spectrum version of well-known Capcom beat ’em up “Final Fight” didn’t really have much of a soundtrack…so I decided to make one myself! This album features the original bleeps and blerps of the ZX Spectrum’s Ay-3-8912 sound chip playing 4 Read More …
Forestal Foreteller – The Spectrum Versions
Because FatNick knows what makes commercial sense, here’s a piece of Sharp x68000 music covered using the sound hardware of the zx spectrum – both 48k and 128k. There isn’t really much to say about this one really. I was playing the ominously titles “Genocide Read More …
Jonestown Politics
As i write this on the 13th of March 2019, the United Kingdom is on the precipice of a peacetime crisis on a scale beyond the comprehension of anyone who’s younger than about ninety. The two main political parties are fiddling about, each looking to Read More …
The Night Begins to Shine
What could be better than the best song ever written being performed on the best gaming hardware ever made? This is a version of the B.E.R. track ‘The Night Begins to Shine’ lovingly reproduced for the Sega Megadrive (with some guitar samples from the Nintendo Read More …
Endless Journey
This is the theme from the online Vector graphics-based driving game Vector Highway (play it here now: ) , I composed this track to be evocative of the experience of tuning in and out of different radio stations on long inter-state car drives, and wrote Read More …
Whirlwind (1-Bit Version)
Here’s my not so festive Christmas track from 2016! The track’s a reworking of the Sega classic “Whirlwind” from the Shinobi 3 soundtrack. Enjoy. Preview Stream/Buy
This Is Not Normal
As a British person of a generally liberal persuasion, the choice of who is to be made the President of the United States is generally none of my business. Something, however, is not right here. It’s not normal for a President to appoint fascist to Read More …
Communique From a. . .
Can you build an entire Drum’n’Bass track around some drums sampled from arcade classic ‘Rad Mobile’ and a highly glitchy Sonic Spinball death chime? I’d like to think that this track proves that you can. Preview Buy/Stream
Summer Groove
Summer is here and the weather’s getting warmer. What better way to celebrate than with a nice laid back Megadrive-powered groove? Preview Stream/Buy
New Single: The Queen’s Speech
I tend to steer clear from politics around here (unless it’s absolutely necessary,) but as things in the wider world are so terribly grim at the moment I thought I’d put together a little track to ‘celebrate’ the opening of parliament yesterday. It’s not often Read More …
Alone Fighter
This is a relaxed, slowed-down version of a track from the classic space-jazz soundtrack for Sega’s Galaxy Force arcade machine. Enjoy! Preview Buy/Stream
Goodness Gracious
Ellie Goulding’s track basically sounded like a Megadrive game already…so I went the extra mile and remade it in FM Drive. It’s available as a free download from soundcloud!
New Track: Goodness Gracious
While having an incredibly dance-ready toddler often has its down-sides (especially in public,) one of the upsides is that I’m forced to to listen to a lot of music I wouldn’t necessarily hear by choice. One track I’ve taken a particular shine to is Ellie Read More …
Modulated Frequencies
The first release from my upcoming E.P. Modulated Frequencies, This Jazzy-fusion track mixes live guitar, bass and drums with the rich FM tones of the Yamaha YM2612 sound chip found in the Sega Megadrive. Preview Stream/Buy
Lots o New Stuff
Blimey! I haven’t updated that much over the last couple of months have I? The reason for that it because I’ve been (surprise surprise) really busy. With a few things too. Aside from all the boring worky kind of stuff, I’ve been fixing my recording Read More …
New Year, New Job, New Track!
Ahoy, Happy New Year! Sorry I’ve been a bit quiet, but I’ve recently started a new day job. Hurrah. Unfortunately, the process of finishing job A and starting job B has taken up more time than I anticipated, so I haven’t been around much – Read More …
New Release: Big Yellow Building
Blimey! Its been months since I’ve released anything musical. Don’t worry though, I’ve been working on something special. A few months back, my colleague Melanie decided to organise a talent show to raise money for Children In Need. For my contribution, I was going to Read More …
