The Greatest Bits: Video Game
Music DJ
The Greatest Bits (1978) is a Dutch DJ/Producer and musician who played in various bands for half of his life. The other half was mostly spent playing video games.
The Greatest Bits loves the chipsounds of the old game consoles and remixes them with modern beats and instruments. The result is a chiptune crossover style that combines the best of both worlds.
The 2 track single "Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!" is out now on iTunes, Amazon MP3 and facebook.com/thegreatestbits.
Press quotes on The Greatest Bits' previous video game tribute albums:
The Greatest Bits' Tetris EP is something of musical genius. Its quick, its catchy and its beyond clever. (new-reviews.co.uk on Tetris)
"After a few seconds of the intro, it suddenly burst into life as a full stereophonic onslaught of modern sounds, while retaining that retro feel. A score of 97%." (theretrogamesnews.com on Donkey Kong Country)
"The Greatest Bits manages to keep everything sounding simultaneously cheap and blippy yet full and modern. Most importantly, this sounds fun, and fun is what video games are supposed to be about." (Roctober Magazine on Mega Man 2)
