Its HipTrax time once again, friends and neighbors, and this episode is positively packed with geeky musical goodness!
This edition features:
"Five to Nine" by Ultraklystron
Making nerdcore hip-hop from the perspective of the anime enthusiast, Ultraklystron proudly wears the badge of the scene’s foremost otaku. This classic track recounting the rigors of con life is included on his latest album Opensource Lyricist.
"Bit Bot" by Skip
Coming to us compliments of chiptune/VGM net label Pterodactyl Squad, Skip is a Belgian electronic artist with an obvious love for IDM and breakbeat. This track is available on his free, 7-song EP Ecospheric Escape.
"Friends, Brothers, Kids, and Lovers (An Epilogue)" by The Mudbloods
This Austin-based Wizard Rock power trio burst onto the scene with their 2006 debut album Out of the Forbidden Forest, and have been wowing Potter fans ever since. This selection is from their recent release A War Amidst Pop Songs, a part of the Wizard Rock EP of the Month Club. You can learn much more about The Mudbloods (and, indeed Wizard Rock itself), over at the Wizrocklopedia.
