I teamed up with a new collaborator for this one, a talented rapper called Iniquity. He wanted to work with me for ages so here it is. A gritty zombie fest: Dying Light.

Hi Patrons. This is the very first song that I fully wrote and recorded from scratch in 2015! The year has begun. Let's make it an awesome one. If you have any projects you're working on yourself let me know. Don't forget to DM me for your rewards too!

Therefore, here is a little collection of stuff. Enjoy...

Thanks so much for your messages of understanding and support on my last video. (If you didn't see it, I made a video for patrons apologising for being slow, and also providing you with a brand new exclusive album just for patrons so please go and check it out!) On to the first creative work of 2015. This was made in considerable ear pain but boy I had fun doing it anyway. I have been waiting to share it with you for a while. As usual, here is the high quality .wav download for patrons only to...

Happy new year patrons. I hope you're well. I will be honest: I haven't been very good at keeping up to date with Patreon. So, I want to say sorry and tell you about how I'm going to fix it. Watch the video please :) Also, here is your download link to the exclusive album Bullmatic. Available NOWHERE else but Patreon: https://www.mediafire.com/?659z6gtw71ycw19

I hope you are enjoying the beginning of the festive season, patrons. Here is something decidedly unfestive, a song about robbing banks. I tried to take a serious approach on this and make it a little more of a conceptually wide piece than a lot of the other gaming songs. Let me know what you think... As usual, here is the highest quality wav file for patrons only :) https://www.mediafire.com/?zci17qqhx9eocd1

This is probably the single most frequent request I get. Well, here it is. The first verse is handled by Suicide VI (formerly known as Shizzy who you will have heard on previous tracks of mine). For my verse, I tried to work in as many placenames from WoW as possible. I don't even know how many there are... Here's the patrons-only .WAV file! https://www.mediafire.com/?m5e8w16978btvw1

Hello patrons! It may not look it on the surface, but this song is actually crammed with wordplay. I managed to fit the names of 50 of the tanks in World of Tanks into the lyrics as puns and rhymes. This was fun :) What are your plans for Christmas? I have zero. Zero plans.

This game really suprised me when I played it. It really makes you feel like you're in the turn of the 1940s/50s America (not that I have any idea what that was actually like). Perhaps the best mafia themed game I have played. And thusly, here is my tribute to it! High quality audio for Patrons only: https://www.mediafire.com/?pk4hx1n41ads0a1

I don't really celebrate Halloween apart from by doing what I normally do, but here's something slightly spooky for you. Torchlight is a game I have played the balls off. Loot loot loot! Loot. I've been trying to bring back some of the old raw rapping into my stuff lately and I hope this has done the trick.

Hello Patrons - I'd like to introduce my partner Caroline who's going to help me organise all the outstanding rewards which haven't been delivered yet (and there are many!) Due to my inability to keep on top of everything we'll also be simplifying the reward tier system soon so it's easy for both me and you to see what you can get back from supporting me. I don't want to let anyone down. Say hi to Caroline - you will be able to contact both her and me directly through direct messages on this P...

This... this is the reason Patreon is good. Imagine if I wanted to do a parody of a miserable Smiths ballad, about a weird little ($2.5bn) computer game, and film a fully produced video for it. What a silly idea. But even with the silly ideas, you guys have my back :)

I'm starting to get back on form now with my gaming and topical writing. Let this song be a return to the days of classic Dan Bull - taking a topic and smashing it through a wall using sound waves alone :D I hope you are all doing well. If you have any specific song/video concepts you'd like to see, send me a PM or comment below!

Hello Patrons - you may have noticed I've been entirely missing from Patreon and a lot of the wider internet for a few months now. Some major changes happened in my personal life which threw me off course, but I'm hoping to grab hold of my music and launch back into it full swing (ugh, quadruple mixed metaphor in one sentence, my English teacher would not be happy). Also, I owe lots of you lots of different things for your Patronage, and I intend to deliver them. The backend system of Patreon ...

Hi Patrons. Hope you are well :) This is honestly one of the best games I have ever played. I had to do a tribute to it. Warning - spoiler heavy!

Hello Patrons, how are you? You may have noticed I have been completely off radar for a few weeks now. This is because I have moved house to a new city. I finally have space to make music and videos without tripping over myself every time I move :) I've also been falling behind on the Patron rewards, partly due to the move and partly due to being a very disorganised person. I'm settling down now and putting a system in place so that I can work out who needs to get what. If there is something I ...

Hi Patrons - thanks to you I can make songs about weirder topics and niche games, so here is a song about an old favourite of mine. It is not as popular as Diablo or Torchlight but it's in a very similar vein - the cool thing about it is that it's set in ancient Greece, Egypt and China and features much of the mythology of those cultures. I had to make a song about it :) And here is the free MP3 for patrons only... ...

I have been sitting on this crazy song for about a year - I couldn't find an animator who was up to the task of doing a video for it. Finally got talking to Element Animation (who incidentally are also on Patreon) and they made it happen. Yay! I think this could be a viral smash - but I can never predict what will be a viral smash so that was rather pointless of me to say that. And... AND... this time I've actually remembered to upload the MP3 for your listening pleasure too! 2014-03-31 18:27:28 +0000 UTC View Post
So many people were asking me to make this, I felt guilty that I wasn't doing it! Here is my loud, macho, rarrrry Titanfall rap. I also published a video last week inspired by the death of my favourite politician Tony Benn, but I didn't want to have it as a patron-supported video as that might have been a little exploitative.

I remember playing the original version of this game at my aunt and uncle's house in the 90s on their super-power computer (probably had like, 16mb ram!). I had never seen a game like it, where stealth and shadows were the order of the day. Thief has come a long way since then but it's still based on the core tenet of slipping about unseen and nickin' other people's things. Beside that, I have some cool news for next week, which is that a certain game company has asked me to make videos about ...

Hello Patrons! Last year I was contacted by a production company who were making a video to promote the new Dungeon Keeper game. They wanted me to rap in it. Months, and months later, the video is actually here wooo! I won't be listing this one as a "Patreon" song as it was made before I even had a Patreon account, and it's basically someone else's project. But I thought you'd like to see it nonetheless. By the way - a lot of your payments have now been processed, so I can get to work on deliv...

Hi patrons - This is the first gaming song I've made in two months! It's a rap battle between terrorists and counter terrorists, based on clips from Counter Strike trailers. Thanks a lot to my bud Dave who is a terrorist. (hey there NSA!) Let me know what other games you'd like to see, or if you're not into the gaming songs, whatever else.
