Massive Chiptune Groupees Bundle on Sale for the Holidays

December 10, 2015 | Brenna Wilkes | 1 Comment Share this

Chiptune fans now have something they can put on their holiday wish list. (Or ever gift to other fans!) Chiptunes = WIN has not only released a holiday compilation album, but they’ve also teamed up with other chiptune artists and Groupees to create the Bundle of WIN combo sale.

That’s right! As of Noon Eastern today (Monday, Dec 7th), we’re presenting you with the fantastic holiday opportunity to grab not only a brand spankin’ new 10 track ChipWIN compilation, ‘Bundle of WIN‘, but also 10+ albums from all of the artists involved in the comp! And everything provided through the fantastic folks at Groupees.com!

That not enough? Alrighty then. How about we include a bundle of awesome bonuses?? The more folk give in total, the more delightful bonuses that’ll unlock for all donors! Not to mention three really cool prizes for the top three donors. Yup. All that’s in this beautiful bundle!

On top of that, how about the chance to donate a percentage of your monies to everyone’s favorite fest that’s not a con, MAGFest?? Okay then. We’ll do that too! –Brandon L Hood aka “President Hoodie”

Like with all other Chiptunes = WIN albums, all sales are reinvested into the chiptune community and future projects, and in this case will include gaming and music event MAGFest. Two dollars nets you the basic bundle of 11 albums featuring a bevy of chiptune artists such as CarboHydroM and Auxcide, with additional proceeds unlocking bonuses. The sale lasts until December 22.

Grab 10 Chiptune Albums for as little as $3

July 14, 2015 | Shawn Sackenheim | 1 Comment Share this

Is it time to load up on some chiptune albums? Groupees has launched their seventh Chiptune + Charity bundle and for as little as $3 you can nab ten albums from Bignic, Shirobon, Monomer, Glenntai, Zalza, MisfitChris, MmcM, Note!, Zabutom and Xyce. There are also some bonuses to be had, the first of which is a live streaming performance by Glenntai for those who buy the bundle. The second bonus (yet to be unlocked) is a live performance by Zabutom.

I’m always up for more music from Bignic but I admit, I’m not familiar with many of the other groups. The samples sound pretty good, though, especially Monomer and Shirobon. What about you? Any favorites in this bundle or are you stumbling into this with me?
