Hi y'all,
As part of the bigger Hub Festival, my partner in chiptune crime and I have wangled a late night chip party in to the line up!
www.hubcardiff.com for tickets and info (also a cheap way of seeing a ton of great music in Wales if you are not going to any bank holiday festivals..)
The chips kicks off at midnight on August 24th, with JellyBear, Alone and Byzanite (plus many great non-chip acts throughout the festival)
Jellybear:
JellyBear is the alias of Jack Farrow, twenty year old experimental producer currently living in Cardiff. After studying music from an early age playing the piano JellyBear moved on to writing chiptune influenced music in 2008 taking inspiration from Sabrepulse, Philter, nsrrenard and many other chip artists. In 2013 Jelly released his first album 'Hey JellyBear' which can be found at jellybear.bandcamp.com
Alone:
Retro games consoles filtered through digital delays and drum machines. Layered with guitars, some distortion and even a few words. Alone paints a post-something slice of hazy danceable sounds pulled from late night memories of virtual adventures.
Alone is James Reichelt, and is found in Cardiff, Wales

Byzanite:
Going solo from an Electro/Glitch duo in March 2009, Byzanite since then soared to a unique sound of chiptune. With other tastes in music, He indulges in non-purism chiptune or creations which have no 8-bit elements in at all!
With tracks featuring on Adam Walton's Welsh Music Show on BBC Radio Wales, Jen Long's Introducing Show on BBC Radio 1 and working closely with Babycakes Clothing, Byzanite will soon be a house hold name for Dance & Electronic music!
