REMUTE: Techno Music On A Sega Genesis Cart

Here’s a cool thing I stumbled across, REMUTE. It’s the first plug and play techno album ever released on cartridge for Sega’s classic console. Here’s a little blurb from their bandcamp page.

– PRE-ORDER NOW! THERE WILL BE 16 TRACKS IN TOTAL! THE OTHER TRACKS WILL BE ADDED HERE AND TO YOUR DOWNLOAD SHORTLY BEFORE RELEASE!—–
In the digital world we live in, fear is everywhere; we fear the prospect that digitization could make us redundant to robots. The world of electronic music producer and techno DJ Remute has never looked more different. Embracing the digital age with all its nuances and extremities, Hamburg based Remute views digitization as an ally to the human race; one that enriches our lives and drives us forward.

“In times where the term ‘digitization’ triggers dystopian fears and worries, I wanted to provide a soundtrack for an optimistic vision of a technologic future with man and machine in unison. – Remute

After his highly acclaimed 2017 album ‘Limited’ which single-handedly initiated the musical comeback of the floppy disk, Remute proved that 1,44 Megabytes are just enough for good music. Making a statement to the wider sphere, showcasing how old school technological formats can marry together with man-made musical production. Striking back in his quest to marry man and machine, Remute presents his forthcoming ‘Technoptimistic’ LP on another ground-breaking format; The Sega Mega Drive Cartridge.

“The machines work for us. We program, they execute. Technology helps us with uncomfortable tasks, makes us do adventurous things and can even cure us when we’re ill. If we maintain a positive attitude towards technology, it will enhance our minds and take us to far places. That’s why I am TECHNOPTIMISTIC.” – Remute

Remute ‘Technoptimistic’ LP will be released 22nd March and will contain 16 tracks.

Pretty cool stuff if you ask me. The going price is €33.33 which is kind of pricey but worth it Imo if you’re a techno and sega genesis fan.

RZA and Ghostface, Angel of Dust

RZA and Ghostface are teaming up to make a horror film called Angel of Dust. RZA will direct the film and Ghostface along with his manager have written the story for the film. Here’s a little rundown on what to expect.

Casey is a normal yet exceptionally smart teenager and talented rapper but after the mysterious death of his parents he’s been forced to grow up in NY’s roughest inner-city streets (known as Shaolin in Wu-Tang folklore), basically on his own. As life in the hood around him gets tragically worse he must put his skills to the test to survive not only the gangs, corrupt cops, junkies, and bullies, but a serial killer with seemingly supernatural powers dubbed Angel of Dust by the media.

Consider me interested.
