Dyztrk – Dyzko Live 8bit Technologic at eX Plaza Indonesia

It’s all happening in Indonesia! He’s one of the vid clips by Dyztrk playing at eX Plaza Thamrin. There’s a blend of new and old here for a great bitpop sound.

This is the same venue (or chain) where we saw Toys of Vega. It’s great to see such great local support for the chip scene! If only all communities were so supportive.

Minusbaby- Derecha

Chiptune - Minusbaby - Derecha - Chipmusic For me, possibly the best Chipmusic of 2009 was from minusbaby.  “Left” as well as being technically acomplished, was a musical journey leaving me with the feeling of having been somewhere, a place I choose to revisit every once in a while.

It’s hard to believe it was over a year ago, but thankfully minusbaby has returned to save us all with his latest release from 8bitpeoples : Derecha
