Ueberschall has released 8 Bit Stylez, a new Elastik Soundbank offering "Low tech sounds for high level music".

Ueberschall says "The legend is back to consume your desires and take your feelings to the edge with fresh steps and tricks for your next mega mix. For serious gamers / DJ's/ producers."

They continue "We captured all the fire and modulations in the heart of SID's sonic arsenal. These sounds explode from the disk and gel onto your trax. From fast flashbacks to futurist attacks, you'll find the tools you need to squash the competition. C64 in every light, burned for the purpose of moving sound to new heights. Now as time moves forward, so does SID in an all new texture. The sound which is alive in all of us, evolves with us. But now these sounds are mapped out for you, and the game is pre-loaded. These samples are your secret codes and keys to move up to another level."
