BIO:
8GB is an audiovisual set developed in 2004 as a natural flow of Akira's activities both visual and musical, and his fixation with old computer hardware utilized in modern working environments. It aims towards creating currently danceable beats with old computer data, making a blend that can be enjoyed by most any audience interested in fresh new sounds, while still retaining appeal for the bleep-obsessed nut. Electro, breakbeat and techno usually flirt with drum&bass and hip-hop, on energetic livesets that include a powerful stage energy and a double experience coupled to the super synchronized live visuals.

Starting in Argentina and pretending to gain world audiovisual domination while hidden beneath secret identities as 8-Bit Security Agents, Akira and Blo keep on recruiting followers to their 8-Bit World Order.

8GB has performed in the most varied situations, from the best microparties like Microdisko Stockholm or Pulsewave NYC, to the top of the commercial electronic music circuit in events like Creamfields Buenos Aires, South American Music Conference and Onedotzero, passing through the world reknowned Blip Festival in New York City, USA and, after one year of touring across half of the world, hiting more than 30 different locations in North America and Europe, they are planning the next logical step of World Audiovisual Domination!

Currently on an editing spree, they have put tracks on known labels like 8bitpeoples and Intikrec, to which they are now affiliated, released an EP on the german Retinascan and are preparing remixes and original productions for a myriad of artists and labels across the planet.

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?.

8GB's launches a long overdue EP on comrade label 8bitpeoples, 4 tracks of thumping dancefloor action for you to shake your booty at. Featuring pixel artwork by kiken.corporation as usual, this *FREE* release is surely one to enjoy.

RED OCTOBER 
Format: 3" CD-R
RETINASCAN
OSNABRÜCK, GERMANY
OUT NOW!


!!!!!
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 on the german label Retinascan 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 no less, in the format conceived by our supahfriend Stu of Dropdabomb.

The same amount of audio power for home use, although It does not include the energetic stage performance of the 8GB audiovisual experience, so you best go to those shows! :) This is a release not to be missed.

Includes a freely downloadable bonus track on the Retinascan website, 50hz's remix of East 105st.
