Gamepak presents yet another night of unadulterated 8-bit & videogame-inspired mayhem up in the Mezz, with heavyweight guest performer BASECK (Subconscious Communications/ Darkmatter Soundsystem) all the ways from L.A. with his Gameboy Thrashin' Turntable Bangin' tour. Also part of L.A. chipcore duo Sonic Death Rabbit, expect gameboy mangling and turntable abusing of the highest order from Baseck's first Irish show, combining chiptune, turntablism, breakcore, hardcore, metal, noise, ambient & drum & bass in what's been called "a beautifully fucked collage of sound"!
Gamepak is also delighted to have along local bassmusic duo Subversus (SubVersion Recordings), which consists of dubstep & jungle DJ/producer, Electronic Resistance founder and Radio na Life clinician Welfare, along with dubstep production supremo Shatterfreak. The pair have been slaying venues round Ireland with some serious bass rumbles of late, and have brewed up an exclusively prepared set of 8-bit dubstep for the night.
We're also stoked to have DJ PCP playing, a legend in his lifetime around any forward-thinking & funky dancefloor, and a man with a hand in everything from Gramophone Disco to Radio na Life's longest running radioshow. Expect some exlusive original material, including a spot of live metal riffage, as well as the choicest chunks of bitcrunched sounds from this exclusive homoludo set.
Support comes from Gamepak resident DJ Zyme, hotting things up with some bitcrunk and chipstep selections, while live visuals come from demoscene VJ Re:Verse and 8-bit console visualist iNFOTOXIN. Oh, and expect the usual oddball assortment of bigscreen videogames and simply ridiculous levels of fun!
The Twisted Pepper (Mezz room), Middle Abbey Street. 11.15pm
