RED OCTOBER EP – Out now on RETINASCAN!!!!!


RED OCTOBER

Format: 3″ CD-R

RETINASCAN

OSNABRÜCK, GERMANY

On 10 October, the 8-Bit State Security Agency voted 10-2 for a resolution
saying that “an armed uprising in chipmusic is inevitable”,
and that “the time for it is fully ripe”.

As such began the revolt that lead to the RED OCTOBER,
an uprising in chipmusic affairs, featuring 4 tracks of dancefloor-smashing
data propaganda.

8GB’s first-ever EP release on the german label
Retinascan is a small
snapshot of the evolution of 8GB through these 4 years of existance. Being
their first ‘proper’, solo release, after years of holding onto tracks
for the pleasure of those checking out live shows, the Agency decides
to release onto the public a concentrated and powerful package of propaganda,
featuring artwork by kiken.corporation
no less, in the format conceived by our supahfriend Stu
of Dropdabomb.

The same amount of audio power for home use, although It does not include
the energetic stage performance of the 8GB audiovisual experience, so
you best go to those shows! :) This is a release not to be missed.

Includes a freely downloadable bonus track on the Retinascan website,
50hz’s remix of East 105st.

Slacking on updates… but not on activity

OK, amazing.

I take like an hour of my time to resume what has happened the last almost 2 months, and Firefox decides to crash again, seamingly at random, like it’s been doing for the past two months. Like this, I don’t want to update any fucking thing. Mozilla better FIX THIS GARBAGE SOFTWARE FOR MAC once and for all.

So not much to say now, I can’t be arsed. I made a super cool description but all is GONE. So here’s my best try.
I been in Vienna, met Fomoke and her boyfriend, played two gigs, one with the Gameboy Music Club, been in Czech Republic, played another one there in Brno, met Kolouch and drank Becherovka, went back to Switzerland, played in Bern and Luzern, met with Stu, met for the first time Wanga and Carl, creators of Micromusic, went to France’s Côte d’Azur, played in Nice and Marseille, met JDDJ3J, Dr. Von Pnok, Zombectro, Confipop, Realmyop, Psilodump, Lithis, Meneo… returned to Switzerland, spent days at the studio with Stu, finished my Retinascan EP release, and now I am going to Spain’s Barcelona for THE LAST GIG OF THE EURO TOUR ON NOVEMBER 7th. Be there or you suck.

This description sucks much more than the previous one, but blame Firefox.

See you next time!

Austria
Brno, Czech Republic
Sedel Club, Luzern, Switzerland

8GB tonight at Nice, France

Well yeah I been slacking and I have a shitload of stuff to write regarding Austria and the Czech Republic, and also last week’s parties in Switzerland, but I have been so much in the move it’s pretty much impossible.

So today, without further to add, I invite you to the lovely Côte d’Azur in France, where we have a 21/23 degrees (celsius) temperature right in the autumn season :D

See you later, Holland!

Oh well, where to start?

I haven’t written anything here for weeks because I been pretty darn busy touring around The Netherlands in what has been, so far, the wildest and best month of the eurotour.

You saw the previous posts about Tilburg and all that. There’s a video of that night, someone got the last part of my then unfinished new song “61B” and a little bit of the (also new) track “Kein Pfänd”:

After that I continued traveling around with my friends Stu, Goto80 and Computadora . This took me to Enschede for the Gogbot Festival, where I managed to meet up with super cool people like Jeroen from Alles Los, The C-Men, Ceephax, Mike Paradinas a.k.a. µ-Ziq, The Teknoist and The Panacea. It was a pretty amazing weekend, and we also got to preview the new ATAK venue location, which is one of the biggest and most amazing clubs I ever been to. Panacea put the sound system to good test over there :)
