WTF Wednesday: GH05+H4CK – GITS Remixed & Rescored by Videopunks

GH05+H4CK is an all-hardware re-imagining of the 1995 landmark cyberpunk anime.

Videopunks is an all-hardware A/V electronic music project spearheaded by Mike Videopunk from Queens, New York, known for its energetic blend of jungle, drum & bass, and IDM. Operating under their own VXPX label, the project crafts a raw yet polished sound infused with retro glitch aesthetics.
