Presidents Day Release Flood- 8GB, Coova and Bud Melvin, and more

Many wonderful releases flood the webz over the weekend. First is two great releases from 8bitpeoples:

Can you dig it?

TCTD’s own 8GB has released his all new EP  “Pravda“. 4 hard hitting screeds of alien commie chip agitprop enforce the new old tech chip style.  From his release:

“Those who lack discipline will be given some. 8GB’s Pravda (The Truth) continues their globe-trotting persuasion that has only one end: World Audiovisual Domination! 8GB’s open-minded approach to chip music twists the barriers of hardware limitations and attacks various oldschool platforms at the same time, while delivering the goods to shake booties all around and convert many chip non-believers to their regime. The Truth is out there, but the question remains: Smozhezh ti’ vi’derzhat’ pravdu?”

Then 8BP dares to up the ante with a secret collab between Coova and Bud Melvin. How they came to meet, is explained on the release page:

!!!!!! - B. Leo

“After meeting in New York at the first Blip Festival, the scheme was hatched. The most unlikely of collaborations, between two of chip music’s most enigmatic individuals, would be conducted in secrecy over the next year. Delicately woven Game Boy loops conspire with hypnotic banjo patterns. Layers of guitar dance over uncanny vocals. This is the EP you might have once heard, far-off in the static between two AM radio stations.

And finally the weekend saw the release of Two 8bit novices:

Natty – These Days I Expect The Worst

Dauragon – :re Baggage

Easy Listening!
