note: Resurrecting and expanding a long lost playlist from 3 years ago courtesy of retired staff member, Carl Kruger.
I think his playlist is a perfect albeit brief introduction to arcade hip-hop, hopefully the original flow wont be ruined by my own inclusions. Can’t get enough of this sound lately.
note 2: Datassette song’s quality is very poor, a lousy 64kbps. I’m terribly sorry. Couldn’t find it at a higher bitrate anywhere. Normally I wouldn’t even consider including a song with such a terrible bitrate but being this a resurrected post I had no choice. I hope you understand. However an alternate, slightly melancholic version is available as a free download on datassette’s site right around here.
i just got the new “blood on my hands” picture disc that i ordered from THEUSED.NET, its sick! check out these pics:

hey may i ask what happened to tropical daze iii????
surferchick: It started raining in my city. Has been going on for days.
Great playlist. I would also recommend Solvent and Ochre as artists with an Arcade sound.
Nice. thanks for the recommendations, not familiar with any of those two, will check them out.
moka,
really liked edwrecker. playing it again right now.
“[...]Normally I wouldn’t even consider including a song with such a terrible bitrate[...]”
But you did it … ;)
P.S. problems with streaming, I have to wait to have a listen of the playlist
if you had to go with a low bit-rate, best to do it with lo-fi, 8-bit music ;)
…i jest…
thanks!
Even if I know every track of this selection, I’m totally in love about the fact you gathered them in one post…Love for Plus Device and SIriusmo…THaNX
You might also like the Dutch hip-hop formation ‘De jeugd van tegenwoordig’ that has a semilliar sound to the tracks in this post. The lyrics are in Dutch, but I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=search_videos&search_query=de+jeugd+van+tegenwoordig&search_sort=relevance&search_category=0&page=
