8 bit

There are many artists that share this name. 1. 8-bit is an alias of Naoki Maeda. 2. From Highland Park, California via a galaxy far away comes hip-hop crazies 8-bit. Both producers and recording artists, 8-bit taps into old school video games, not old-school records to create their own ghetto-electro chip music. Eclectic superstar Beck hand picked 8-bit to craft the sound of his Gameboy Variations EP - the #1 iTunes album of the week upon its debut. 8-bit tracked, mixed, and produced the tracks to create "Ghettochip Malfunction (Hell Yes)" and Gameboy/Homeboy (Que Onda Guero).

Boy 8-Bit

Boy 8-bit; a young and upcoming producer famous for his infectious "bleep" electro-styled tracks inspired by the computer games of old. Boy 8-Bit's name hails from the days of old. Using an Amiga computer to produce in his youth, he dealt in 8-bit samples and hence the name. Although still relatively unknown, his EP "Suspense is Killing Me" received great critical claim on the underground Electro/Synth circuit.

Meneo

Meneo is pure gameboy reggaetón and electro-dancehall along vocoders and keytars, which are the weapons of choice for *MeNeO*'s deep, flavoured, latin rhythms that are accompanied by Entter's VJ "Fruity Booty" and his made-to-measure vjing application that's been the envy of many at several video art festivals. The MENEO performance investigates artistic concepts that imply the surprising and unforeseeable, accidents, mistakes and coincidences as a means to alter the dynamics of creative performance and to discover new aesthetic presentations.

Circle Takes the Square

Circle Takes the Square (often abbreviated CTTS) is a band from Savannah, Georgia, USA. The band formed in 2001 as a four-piece and after their first two releases they lost a guitarist but gained another in late 2004. What listeners tend to notice first about the band is the loud screaming of both male and female vocals that often function in a kind of call and response. Skillful, chaotic drumming coupled with intense, highly technical bass/guitar work have served to separate the band from most others in the screamo genre.
