Old 8GB @ Boing Boing (Blip Festival 2007)

I was dragged to Boing Boing because they were talking about a software search I have had for around twenty years, when I remembered I had a participation on a chipmusic round table with BB blogger Joel Johnson, my good friend Paza Rahm and Rugar.

If you have a bunch of tens of minutes to spare, some interesting things were said back then, and you also get to hear me talk like an idiot with a ridiculous accent (which has since improved *ever so slightly*).

We have been linked by these chaps: designtendencies.
What is it? According to them:
‘The objective of designtendencies.com is to help you build your repertoire by adding at least 1 new image every day. The images don’t follow any specific logic or pattern, but they should, somehow, be “inspiring” and, after all, will part of your “seen images”.’

Looks like an interesting little project.
Thanks for consider us inspiring! :)

Well well well, I hang my head in shame and admit not having updated the site for more than a year! Things have been, fortunately, extremely hectic here at the kiken.corporation headquarters, so I will try to resume things from my last entry.

After our succesful entry at Skol Beats, with which we have now performed in almost every reknowned festival of Latin America, we have been doing the usual rounds between Buenos aires and Chile throughout the year, with the highlight being our performance alongside dutch superstar DJ Tiësto, with whom it was an unexpected pleasure to work with.

After yet another year of setting things up in yet another Creamfields Buenos Aires, we set our compasses heading north, and prepared ourselves for our first entry in the land of Uncle Sam. We were invited, as 8GB, to the unique and world famous BLIP FESTIVAL in New York City, something we desired last year and it was now a dream coming true. The festival was MASSIVE, certainly, the best event I have ever been to, and you certainly know by now I have been to MANY. New York is awesome, and full of stuff to do. I managed to squeeze in a few gigs as DJ as well during my 1 month stay.

After this awesome experience, the end of the year was nigh and so came the usual summer taskas in Buenos Aires. Ending the year in the “company” of Paul Van Dyk, who obviously packed the venue with 10.000+ punters, I left to Punta del Este, that lovely-looking coastal city in Uruguay, every year more and more riden with problems I would not choose in my vacation spot. This time Creamfields was being held for the first time in the city, and in all, it was a pleasant weekend.

February was spent in the usual summer spot for the last 3 summers: Chile. We did a round of gigs over there with the usual and delightful company of our friend Anatomico.

Well that sums up veeeeeeeery lightly what has happened in 2007. I certainly hope this Wordpress interface will allow for more frequent, steady updates. We’ll see how it goes.
