Steve .. IN THE CUT

Steve writes

“I just wrote an article for London based newspaper The Cut (available free at plenty of places in and around London) about chipmusic (specifically the current UK scene – this issue is a special UK/London one). You can see it at The Cut site here, and also you can download the whole paper in .pdf here (the article actually looks quite nice), although I’ve also posted here in full. The point of the article was to redress the balance of fucking dreadful chipmusic media coverage, and I think I’ve at least done that…”

Congrats! You can read the text of the article on 8BC.

Have to agree that track 3 on their myspace is a much better track.  For the rest think 8bit hot chip esque white funk.
