The main reason for this is that I am in need of funding for the Blip Festival Tokyo trip and this will help out. Anything you can help with is appreciated but since I don’t believe in taking money from people without giving anything in exchange I thought of this (among other stuff that will appear in the coming weeks). With this I also mean to fund the new A/V set that is in development to premiere in Blip Tokyo in early September. Many, many hours of filming, designing, motion graphics work, gear and have been invested in 8GB since 2004 and it’s getting harder and harder, specially with a tight deadline, a full time job that takes a lot of my energy and such a costy trip to the land of far east.
The Album copy:
On 10 October, the 8-Bit State Security Agency voted 10-2 for a resolution saying that “an armed uprising in chipmusic is inevitable”, and that “the time for it is fully ripe”.
As such began the revolt that lead to the RED OCTOBER, an uprising in chipmusic affairs, featuring 4 tracks of dancefloor-smashing data propaganda.
8GB’s first-ever EP release is a small snapshot of the evolution of 8GB through these 4 years of existance. Being their first ‘proper’, solo release, after years of holding onto tracks for the pleasure of those checking out live shows, the Agency decides to release onto the public a concentrated and powerful package of propaganda, featuring artwork by kiken.corporation.
After talking briefly with Computadora and mainly because I wanted, I made a mixtape to promote around Bleepstreet Records. Computadora also says I am the A&R of the label now :P
I made this mixtape showcasing some music from artists of its roster, current and future, and others who are not, based on what to me should be the sound of a Bleepstreet dancefloor!! This is not totally about chip, this is about ass-kicking data beats to shake your butt around, even if you are a cheaptoon nerd or a piping hot gurrl.
Finally out on SSR!- “Memories Of The Future”, a retrofuturistic compilation focusing on synthastic visions from the forgotten past. this is the sountrack for exploring lazerchip, spacetune, electrodisco, and many other unknown genres to mankind -enjoy!
