Domingo crossfade mix(15th July Release 2nd album) by Chip Tanaka/Acerola Beach

Video game fans know him as Hirokazu "Hip" Tanaka, the pioneer artist who began spinning chipsounds into video game music in 1980 while working as a sound engineer at Nintendo. In addition to composing music for legendary games like Metroid, Super Mario Land, and Earthbound, his storied career includes writing and arranging numerous theme songs for the Pokémon animated films and TV series. His contributions to music catapulted forward yet again in 2017 with Django, the first album released under his live performance name CHIP TANAKA.

With Domingo, Chip returns with an all-new album of 11 conceptual pieces that combine disparate imagery of the sea, the night, outer space, and the retro-computer age, while exploring themes of nostalgia for bygone people and places. With an unpredictable mélange of genres including reggae, dub, and techno, and a rich palette of chiptune sounds, listeners will be transported into new and unknown auspices.

In his own words: "This album is a requiem to my past̶a new life form born from treasured memories." Don't miss this epochal release from an artist who still has plenty to say!

* As with his previous album, physical copies of Domingo will come with a special thank-you letter from Chip himself which includes a secret audio download code.
