In a fun new update, Nordischsound drops a fresh chiptune cover of Genius, originally by TheFatRat. Known for turning electronic tracks into SID-powered bangers, Nordischsound brings that signature crunchy C64 vibe to this high-energy tune. And yes, it slaps in all the best 8-bit ways.
This isn’t Nordischsound’s first chiptune cover rodeo, but this cover of Genius manages to walk the line between tribute and transformation. It captures the catchy melody of the original while layering it with buzzing arpeggios and pulsing SID basslines.
If you’re a fan of TheFatRat or just love pixel-perfect retro music, this chiptune of Genius is well worth a listen. And with Nordischsound’s usual attention to authenticity, it sounds like it could’ve been the background music to a lost Commodore 64 rhythm game.
