JAPAN BOOKING! DEC-JAN-FEB! (2011/2012)



nordloefはパンクバンドでのバックグラウンドを持ち、ゲームボーイを駆使した疾走感溢れるメロディアスなサウンドを制作している。 拠点のスウェーデンのみならず、全米、イギリス、日本、ドイツ、ベルギー、アイルランド、スコットランド、ハンガリー、デンマーク等のイベントやフェス、アンダーグラウンドなクラブに出演。 nordloefのライブパフォーマンスはワンマンパンクショーとDJセットの要素をミクスチャーしたスタイル。ターンテーブルの代わりに2台のゲームボーイをDJエフェクトを通しプレイする。


________________________________________________________


nordloef takes his background in punk rock bands and his love for electronic music to create melodic, upbeat pop songs while at the same time squeezing out as much music as possible from the limited hardware of the Nintendo Game Boy.

nordloef has toured and played in the United States, United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, Belgium, Ireland, Scotland, Hungary, Denmark and Sweden and has played at all kinds of shows ranging from secret clubs in farms to techno parties in forests.

nordloef's live shows are best described as a mixture between a one-man punk show and a sweaty DJ set. But instead of using two turntables, he uses two original Game Boys. nordloef uses the softwares Live mode and rearranges the songs on the spot. The Game Boys outputs are fed through external effects and tweaked live.

V/A - Reformat: A Tribute To Bit Shifter's Information Chase


Conceived in conspiratorial secret by Michael Lerman (Datapop, Fuckjazzforaminute) as a birthday present for Josh Davis (Bit Shifter), the Reformat compilation sees nearly two dozen reinterpretations of tracks from the Bit Shifter EP Information Chase, by musicians from around the world, in a dizzying and at times hilarious array of styles and approaches. Released to coincide with the five-year anniversary of Information Chase, Reformat takes the opportunity to approach a handful of familiar tracks from 23 unexpected angles, resulting in a compilation that's as unpredictable as it is inventive.

All profits from sale of the Reformat compilation will go to Japan earthquake and Pacific tsunami relief via the American Red Cross.

Weezer - The 8-bit Album


Do you remember that dream you had, where the sound chips from the beloved games consoles of your youth all got together and formed a Weezer tribute band? Yeah? No? OK. That dream is about to come true whether you had it or not.

The songs on this compilation have mostly been created using original videogame hardware running home-brew software, and vary radically in style, from minimal 'one man and his Game Boy' compositions to 8-bit inspired full band performances. Pterodactyl Squad proudly presents the music of Weezer as you have never heard it before.

Otaku PLAY explores the universe of players and play of all kinds. How and when you play. What you learn while playing and where do you risk arriving when you remain blocked within the same play."
