Chiptune's Challenge

Aivi & Surasshu - Mabe Village (from Zelda: Link's Awakening)
I had to do some digging for this one.
Lately, this genre of music has been growing in the shadows of our nostalgia and it's high time we drag it out into the light.
Any fans of Steven Universe out there?
Ever notice that ultra-sweet and totally sincere background music characterized by a twinkling, electronic sound?
It's not as harsh as pure 8-bit music, nor as brutal as true dubstep, but seems like a relative of both.
Try to imagine Miyazaki being fused with an NES Emulator.
I'd like to assert that Aivi & Surasshu are the quintessence of this genre.
I promise you've heard them, even if you haven't heard OF them.

If you like their work (which you will because this stuff is awesome) go look for more. 
I've been posting a lot of this stuff lately and will probably continue for some time.
This here is the very first collaborative piece they made together.
Enjoy!

Music You Can Listen To

RJD2 - Games You Can Win
from the album
Inversions of the Colossus

I love the sound and feel of this song. It reminds me of something straight out of Steven Universe.
Here's a playlist for the whole danged album.
Enjoy!
