8GB
8GB (Akira Kei) is an audiovisual producer and DJ from Buenos Aires, Argentina, making music since 1994 and performing it live since 2004. His work comes as the connecting point of his visual and musical activities plus his fixation with old computer hardware restrictions exploited for
maximal creative output, as well as his relation to the computer arts underground of the early 90s. Recently he has been working on new software for the Amiga computer to allow DJing of MOD source files, PT-1210 MK1, gathering attention from music and technology news outlets alike.

The J. Arthur Keenes Band
A one man band out of Canada, this music transcends the chipmusic style; pulling in broad pop influences and Beatles level musicality, to create music in a variety of genres. Combining live instruments that include drums, bass, keyboards and more as well as his sweet, funny and clever vocals, J.A.K has released on the legendary 8bitpeoples label and really is criminally unknown.

Unashamedly the Skrillex of chipmusic. This Japanese artist delivers the most ridiculous large face melting bass sounds out of a Game Boy that anyone has heard... Ever... https://soundcloud.com/nnnnnnnnnn
