The soaring sounds of adventure in Phenomenal Star-Force by Tekkaxe

Talk about a wonderful surprise of an album. If there is a game series I love for it's infectious, upbeat arrangements, it's definitely the Kirby games. Tekkaxe channels his inner Jun Ishikawa & Hirokazu Ando along with a touch of super hero lore, and uses that power to create an adventurous and eclectic album. Too bad this isn't a video game, now I'm a little bummed. This album will cheer me right up though, so I'm going to listen again!

Watch SUBCON 63 SNES Classic, hacks, Super Mario Odyssey

I talk about hacking the SNES Classic, general hacking anxiety, and then get hyped for Super Mario Odyssey. On the hip hop side, I've got the latest from the Earthbound Rejects, the very first Duosis ReCut by JH Sounds to be featured on SUBCON, not to mention the latest from The Grammar Club, courtesy of Shael Riley himself. Plenty of instrumentals this week as well, including FrivolousShara, DJ BlazeWave, MarcusCross, beek, Sean Schafianski, and Coda. Then we close the show with a very special Super Famicom game.
