Summer is in full effect! While news has been quiet on official fronts, we've got a lot of fan work and remixes to show for! Speaking of summer, it is officially time for you to begin a journey through
ITALODISCO. If you are in search of the distilled, purest essence of the 1980s; if you long for the perfect music for driving into the night while wearing white towards a southern European coastal city where you'll lose yourself among the passion of really smooth dance music; if you desire the springtime of youth, this is your genre. Start with Vicente del Bosque's
BelgioDisco Mixtape 3 and embark upon the seas of enchanted soundscapes and the greatest decade. Make it your
obsession.
[DREAM SPLASH IV] It's time to begin the fourth Dream Splash! If you've never heard of these before, it's a (in this case) 2-month long fan work focus on a certain topic in the Chrono series. This year's topic is Radical Dreamers; fan art/fiction/remixes are invited to cover Serge, Kid, and Magil's radical adventure in Viper Manor. Other adventures are welcome, too; I'll be seeing if I can throw together a quick gaiden fic! Head to
this page to learn more and
this forum to submit stuff! Let's see what we can cook up before the remix contest starting in September! Thanks to Licawolf for the awesome banners, as well as Kaiko/Boo the Gentleman Caller.
