Double Dipping with your favorite barely legal (and illegal) chip thugs, Starscream and IAYD.
In the not so distant future awaits the election of the first third party candidate to the White House- they will hail from the Space Party, a political coalition founded by astrophysicists, former democrats and ex-NASA employees. In their 8bitpeoples debut EP, “Future, and It Doesn’t Work”, Starscream tell a tale of victory, science, and potentially catastrophic foreign policy.
IAYD makes his 8bitpeoples debut with “Supergalactic”, an invitation to get punched in the face by light-speed melodies and sound barrier-breaching beats. Embark on a journey through the cosmos with six, powerful masterworks crafted from the dregs of shattered asteroids and the rusted husks of space vessels. Pushing forward and brimming with profound sonic vivacity, “Supergalactic” leaves you with a greater understanding of the Universe.

Download from around geographic regions and manners of a 56k modem. and loads of the round hardware/software demon.
