PUT YOUR FINGER IN THE AIR AND PRESS IT FOUR TIMES!!!! ChipFest's 11th edition is all about the incredible power and BASS that some of the UK's finest can produce.
▰▰▰ Mister Spastic ▰▰▰
Los Angeles-based super chip hero makes his UK debut at ChipFest!
"Mister Spastic project started humbly by utilizing only freely obtained equipment, and in the beginning, it was an attempt at producing high quality lo-fi music with a very tight budget. Electronic breaks and nerd-ish raps were the momentum ascribed to by the first release and since then it has changed into more of an obsession. Retro-computing was an interest at an early age to Nathan, starting with the Tandy color computer, drooling over the Commodore 64, and eventually receiving a NES from his grandparents at a young age. Mr. Spastic is reliving his childhood and delving into forgotten pasts by using modern musical techniques and antiquated equipment, spastically synthesizing and unifying multiple platforms to produce original retro tunage."
For fans of the slickest funky basses 'n' beats around!

▰▰▰ Diamonds & Dynamite ▰▰▰
Wonky Wobble Merchant who's set at ChipFest 8 was sadly cut short by boring snoresters at the hostel next door, Diamonds and Dynamite gets another set to show just how much of a force to be reckoned with he is. Dreamy waves and crunchy bass, just how Game Boys should be.
