I am a young man who makes records on his computer.
I am resident and promoter at the night BODY CLAP at T-Bar / FABRIC.
I like making all sorts of music, I have a couple of other aliases - can you spot them??
My name comes from the fact I used to use an Amiga to make music - they used to use 8-Bit samples. I was young at the time.. Hence Boy 8-Bit. It has stuck ever since... Not because I make 8-Bit music. This seems to annoy a few people.
"Boy 8-Bit goes for a brilliant piece of arcade game music that sounds like the best track Jeff Minter never made" Body Clap ..2 - Dj Magazine 4.5 out of 5
"Boy 8-Bit's awesome electronic masterpiece, which is something a bit special" Long Jeanne Silver iDJ Magazine 5 out of 5
"Boy 8-Bit is a maestro when it comes to melodious bleep busting bangers" One to watch 2006 iDJ magazine
