Hip-Hop Producer Nujabes (Seba Jun) Passes Away at 36
The 8bitX Radio Network mourns the loss of Nujabes.
Justin from Radio Free Gamer has a write-up here, and will be doing a tribute at the end of his next show.
Nujabes Biography:
After Tsutchie, Nujabes was the second artist Shinichirō Watanabe chose to contribute to the background music and soundtracks of Samurai Champloo, an anime which blends a feudal Japan setting with modern anachronisms, especially in regards to hip hop culture.[1]
In addition to Japanese artists like Uyama Hiroto, Shing02 and Minmi, Nujabes has collaborated with underground American hip-hop acts CYNE, Cise Starr (as a solo apart from the hiphop collective CYNE), Apani B, Five Deez, Substantial, CL Smooth, Terry Callier, as well as British rapper Funky DL and R&B singer Dwele. He is also a member of the production duo Urbanforest, an experimental collaboration with Nao T.
Passing:
On February 26th, 2010, Jun Seba was involved in a fatal car accident (the same day Japan experienced a 7.3 earthquake). He was 36 years old. His family had a private burial in Shimeyaka. Hydeout Productions has stated that although Nujabes has passed away, he left music behind to continue his legacy and will be released in the near future. http://e22.com/nujabes

Tommy Tallarico confirmed for March 24th
Photo: Jason Vaughn8bitX Press Release
Radio Free Gamer next Wednesday (March, 24th @ 7:00 PM EST) we're going to be joined by none other than Tommy Tallarico. Yes, that would be the co-founder of Video Games Live, G.A.N.G, and composer of an astonishing amount of games.
It's an absolute honor that he's going to be talking with both Justin Johnston and TenchuX over at Radio Free Gamer.
But wait... just us I thought... wouldn't it be a great idea to ask some questions?
So, during the interview there will be a special fan Q&A segment where we'll chose questions asked directly by you!
Now while Radio Free Gamer is typically live, the segment with Tommy Tallarico is going to be recorded earlier.
This Friday afternoon to be exact. I'm not going to be able to look through this thread or twitter and shuffle around questions at... lets say, after 12:01 PM this Friday.
One big point of discussion is going to be the upcoming Video Games Live concert in New Orleans at the Pontchartrain Center at 8 PM, April 1, 2010 with the Louisiana Philharmonic. (Tickets on Sale) :P
What's so important about this show is that it's being filmed for a NATION WIDE PBS SPECIAL! That's right, the whole country will get to experience just how awesome video game music is. This specific concert is a huge step forward in showing everyone just how valid of an art form video game music is. Tommy is currently working his butt off for the next three weeks preparing for it.
It doesn't end at this awesome Q&A with Tommy Tallarico!
We're also going to be covering the superb Donkey Kong Country 2 album (Serious Monkey Business) that was just released here on OCRemix! An album that itself is a groundbreaking achievement for the advancement of video game music.
I can already tell you that I will be asking Tommy what his thoughts are about fellow professionals David Wise, Grant Kirkhope, Robin Beanland making such an awesome contribution to the DKC 2 Album.
For those who want a little more insight into the Video Games Live experience I will have a feature article on www.elder-geek.com on what's looking like Thursday or Friday of next week. The article itself will also have a link to the interview in case you missed it airing live on Wednesday's Radio Free Gamer.
So there you have it!
Feel free to ask your questions the forums. You can also follow me on twitter...

...for updates. You can alternatively ask me your Tommy Tallarico question on there as well if you wish.
Thanks,
-TenchuX

OC Remix's Donkey Kong Country 2: Serious Monkey Business Released!!
We here at the 8bitX Radio Network trumpet the newest album release from OC Remix. DKC2 Serious Monkey Business is a monumental feat, and features OC Remix regulars along side some of the industries most well known composers. If this is a sign to come, than we're in for a treat.
Do check out Justin's podcast over at Radio Free Gamer (RFG) who on World 2 Level 1 had the folks from OC Remix in an exclusive interview discuss this album!
World 2 Level 1 Episode mp3
RFG Podcast
Press Release from OverClocked Remix
After two and a half years, Donkey Kong Country 2: Serious Monkey Business is finally released!
Serious Monkey Business has been in the works since around November 1, 2007, when initial invitations were extended. Since that fateful beginning, artists have poured hundreds, if not thousands, of hours into the music until shaped into its final form of this album. It's with much gladness that finally Geoffrey Taucer and I are able to bring this album to fruition and to all the listeners out there.
Whether it be new age, trance, rock ballad, or orchestral, I hope this album offers something for the listener & perhaps in a genre the listener may not normally enthused to listen to. If so, then the album has accomplished its purpose, however small. As a co-director, I would like to see people explore the possibilities offered by music of various genres, and I think we have succeeded in putting together a melting pot album with a lot of accessibility.
So without further ado, bon appetit!
