About Me

hey, this is Al, this is Jump! Press Start and this is videogame music, performed live. I use a couple of battered old gameboys from 1989 and dj between the two. my first EP was under the monika of monkeydisco and my latest full album is basically my live set as it is now. I'm well up for playing gigs, and have played in pub, bar and nightclub situations, namely the Blue Room, Jenx liquid lounge and Club Sanuk :P
Trumpet since 1993
Guitar since 1998
Electronic since 2006
Chiptune since spring 2007

1 MOUNTAIN the build up track. gets the gameboy warmed up
2 BORNEO FUNCTION kicks off the album with a swingy feel and plenty of sweep
3 DARK CRUISER this song is like cruising around at night in a lambo
4 SWING ME swings like tarzan
5 BUT I'M NOT WEARING ANY PANTS this one gets stuck in my head
6 CITY OF STEEL takes a break to start with, evoking feelings of the busy pulsating city, but then kicks in with catchy swing-like party 4bit.
7 35p ENERGY DRINK short song that suddenly kicks in at a mental pace. it can be a bit much for some, be warned.
8 FISHTANK new version! this version has a breakdown that i just wrote
9 ODE TO JOY DIVISION love will tear us apart, press start stylee
