Benjamin Briggs, formerly known as chthonic, has released a new remix album featuring the music of Diddy Kong Racing! To celebrate, join KyleJCrb, Liontamer, Suraida, as they interview Ben AND host a listening party featuring both his new DKR album, as well as his Wily Castle ReMix Gauntlet compilation album Snake Man vs. The World! Tune in to Nitro Game Injection on April 15th, 2012 at 5:00 PM Eastern time, exclusively on Arecibo Radio!

ABOUT THE ALBUMS:
Diddy Kong Racing: Bootleg Circuit – Benjamin Briggs’s first-ever sampled game audio album includes five pumping arrangements of Dave Wise’s unforgettable tunage from one of the best racing games of all time. Diddy Kong Racing: Bootleg Circuit features over 17 minutes of pulse-pounding, nostalgia-fueled house beats, expertly mastered by the one and only CUTMAN.

Snake Man Vs. The World – Four Mega Man remixes, as byproducts of DarkeSword’s awesome Wily Castle Remix Gauntlet, a weekly team-based song-combining competition. It includes, in order, all four of my tracks that were submitted as entries in the Gauntlet. My character theme was Snake Man throughout the competition, so each song includes his theme, and a damn good theme it is.

NGI episode archives now COMPLETE! http://kngi.org/p=3261 http://kngi.org/p=3261#comments Thu, 15 Mar 2012 19:20:07 +0000 KyleJCrb http://kngi.org/?p=3261 Hey folks, KyleJCrb here. In browsing the site, some listeners may have noticed that a number of Nitro Game Injection episodes have been missing for some time. Many of these episodes had technical problems that ended up causing them to be split into multiple parts, or had other issues that  needed to be taken care of. I had kept this editing project on the backburner for some time due to how much time it would take to edit and re-encode all of the files (not to mention the small loss is sound quality each episode would suffer thanks to the encoding process,) but thanks to Larry for pointing me toward the outstanding MP3DirectCut, the entire collection of Nitro Game Injection episodes now available for the first time ever! Every episode that has previously featured a missing recording is available below for your convenience:

Thank you to everyone who has listened and supported the show over the past nine years! Be sure to tune in to the Nitro Game Injection Ninth Anniversary Special TONIGHT at 9PM Eastern Time on Arecibo Radio!

Next decade-long project: Playlists for all of the old episodes…
