LISTEN: DUTYCYCLE’S JENS AND THE JAUNTYJACKALOPE SAMPLER EP
Like their last showcase sampler, the folks at DUTYCYCLE have put together a new free EP to get a taste of the bands about to play at Thursday’s electro DJ party in celebration of the release of Jaunty Jackalope (Ubuntu Linux version 9.04).
The EP features chiptune regulars like STARPAUSE but isn’t exclusively chip music, though my top pick of the EP (next to Harbour’s downtempo and dubby “did you forget”) is Wyatt Gurp’s “The Dark Sword of Chaos”, the theme song for an 8-bit boss battle never made.
The release party itself will take place Thursday April 23, 2009 at 8:00pm at San Francisco’s Caffeine, located at 835 Geary, and will feature “new school electro DJs making music on Linux, Linux robotics demonstrations courtesy of Orb SWARM, free Jackalope CDs, and a fat bearded dork wet Linux t-shirt contest (weather permitting).” (! to the last bit there)
See more info via the event’s Upcoming page, and download the sampler via the DUTYCYCLE blog (direct download the zip here).
