Event music by:
Mega Ran + K-Murdock
http://megaran.com/
Arguably the world’s most foreknown video game-influenced musician, the inimitable Mega Ran (née Random) teams up with longtime collaborator K-Murdock, internationally known producer and sampler of everything. The duo return to the road to celebrate five years since the 20XX release of “Forever Famicom," their seminal chip-hop album. Praised by critics and beloved by fans for its honesty and tasteful nostalgic themes, the album garnered favorable reviews from outlets like 1-Up Magazine, The Word Is Bond and more.
Danimal Cannon
http://danimalcannon.com/
Guitarist, chiptuner, producer, engineer, MUSICIAN. You might know this Buffalo, NY native from work with Armcannon, Metroid Metal, or Weaponex or his numerous PAX and MAGfest appearances, his acclaimed 2011 album "Roots," or "Parallel Processing," his collaboration with Zef. But until you catch his impossible grooves and clever hooks, unmistakable guitar solos and intricate LSDJ arrangements live, you don't know Danimal Cannon.

Energetic. Intricate. Artful. Wrestling. These are just a few of the various words that Bryan retrieved using a Javascript random word generator. Hailing from Vancouver, Canada, bry combines innovative sound design and modern funk/pop textures with a lyrical, detail-oriented demostyle songwriting sensibility ingrained from an entire youth spent listening to tracker modules in the 90's. His most recent Game Boy album -- "VARIOUS TOPICS", released via the venerable Ubiktune netlabel -- cemented his reputation amongst many of the global chip scene's foremost veterans as a highly-regarded and versatile composer with a deep respect for computer music's rich history. Brace yourselves for a set chock full of hard-hitting danceable jams that also happen to be surprisingly and satisfyingly cerebral.
