As music gets more and more heavily produced, there's a growing group of artists who are experimenting with technology from the primitive early days of gaming. 8-bit can refer to a style of electornic inspired by the sound of old computer consoles from the 8 bit era of video games. This music will often reflect sounds from technology that is seen as primitive or "outdated" such as the Game Boy, Atari and Activision systems and home made synthesizers. DJ Anonymity (I hope I spelled that correctly) brings you some incredible retro-inspired music with new twists. Take a time trip back to the 80s with FRESH CARTRIDGE, the first in a series called 8 BIT CHIPPER CHANNEL. LISTEN HERE.
