Well what can I say? Whilst it seems that everyone else on the planet is filling their ears with Crimbo tunes I am checking out some of the artists from this years Blip festival. Here are some of my faves:
Saskrotch – Unfinished The Hero Returns
Sabrepulse – Hey Kate
Bit Shifter – March Of The Nucleotides
The Depreciation Guild – Butterfly Kisses (a cool mix of chiptunes and a more conventional indie setup).
Firebrand Boy – The End (Firebrand Boy also does a mean cover of Postal service – Such great heights)
8GB – Lemon Prize
Markus Schrodt – Colors
And lastly but certainly not leastly…
6955 – Museum 1
Cool eh? 6955 also does the music for Fez; the most amazing looking yet-to-be-released video game. The reason it looks so awesome? It switches between a 2D pixelated world and a 3D one! Cool! Here’s the trailer:
Update: You can hear more of the same at Micromusic and at 8 Bit Collective.

HELL YEAH!!!!! Woot forthe 8bit gods…gointosee sp in aberdeen soon….
