Excited to announce that 8static, Philly’s premier 8-bit/chiptune audio/visual party is back at Vox Populi Saturday, March 12th, 2016! We have a ridiculous performer and visualist line-up to shake your post-MAGFest blues (Do you still have it… Were you even there? Hitting me really hard right now, I can honestly say).

Visual Performance
PixelSeed (BAL)
Fresh off this year’s MAGFest visualist circuit, Baltimore’s Pixelseed aka Sean Smith, is a man dedicated to his craft. Combining elements of animation, original film footage, and circuit-bent electronics and channeling it all through his more than twenty years of experience, Pixelseed goes above and beyond to ensure his visual creations match the musician he is paired with not just in terms of timing, but in mood and style.

Performers
Cheap Dinosaurs (PHL)

L-Tron (NYC)
L-tron completed his first symphony at the age of 2 using only a touch tone phone and a Yak Bak. For decades he has steeped his dance music in a bouquet of filth. Today, he has no choice but to lick his cartridges clean before each set. Smear a bucket of melted Tamagotchis to create progressive house music, and you’re listening to L-Tron. His melodies will awaken lush visions, blowing the dust off your forgotten daydream. Possessing you with dirty drops, Megaman’s dick, and lowest intentions… you’ll lose your shit and never get it back.

FLOOR BABA (OH)
FLOOR BABA is a jazz fusion artist and ex-game composer based out of Youngstown, Ohio. He also curates the netlabel and online music venue DESKPOP.

HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL OUT THERE!
