JDDJ3J »> In only 3 years, Je deviens dj en 3 jours became one of the cutest nowadays chiptune artists by drawing unique waveforms on the Nanoloop software. He gives a new approach to the Nintendo Gameboy consisting of heavy beats, distorted bass and girls dancing all over the night.

Cream in all Moustache »> Why chose Cream in all Moustache as a name? Because having a Moustache in 2010 is criminal... and when you eat Creamy things you put some all over your Moustache, and it looks Gay! I like it! That's the reason why I am the Cream in all Moustache.

Zombectro »> When he was a child, video games were too expensive for him, he felt frustrated and angry, growing up with an intense bitterness! Now, he wants his revenge and the software Nanoloop 1.3 unleashes his true evil power! Combining the gayness of Techno-Dance with Heavy Metal, Zombectro's music is a brutal incantation against the whole world. To cap it all, he worships excessive kitsch and retrofuturistic horse riding! The retro-dark-burlesque is born!

6/25 - Summer of Chip at Northside Festival - Brooklyn NY - 21+
JDDJ3J // Cream in all Moustache // Albino Ghost Monkey // Kris Keyser // Knife City // Paris (visuals)
Albino Ghost Monkey »> What is an Albino Ghost Monkey you ask? The Albino Ghost Monkey is a strange and unique creature that can only be found in the Northwoods region of Wisconsin. The Albino Ghost Monkey spends most of its time using a tool known as "Nanoloop", though nanoloop is not a good tool for hunting (reassuring its short lifespan), it is on the other hand a great tool for creating music. So with spring upon us, the Albino Ghost Monkey comes out of hibernation to share the splendor of his nanoloop endeavours. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Albino-Gh … 2222970422
Knife City »> Knife City is the latest incarnation of Luke Silas' lifetime fascination with both making music and classic video games. He uses a pair of Game Boys to produce music meant for dancing. He also plays drums for the NYC chiprock band Anamanaguchi.
http://www.facebook.com/knifecity
Kris Keyser »> Over the years, Kris Keyser has picked up and discarded the piano, saxophone, guitar, drums, bass, and didgeridoo, learning all but casting each aside in favor of the next. Finally settling on the Game Boy as his weapon of choice, he has built and refined an arsenal of tracks that run the gamut from energetic and fun to spacey, foreboding, and massive. High-energy in both performance and composition, Kris Keyser is known to transform passive listeners into active participants in his notoriously sweat-drenched live shows.
http://www.myspace.com/kriskeyser
Paris »> Paris (previously known as Voltage Controlled) writes custom software to transform hand held game systems such as the Game Boy Advance and the GP2X into visual performance instruments. His visuals are abstract and influenced by his background and continued interest in mathematics and theoretical physics. He has been creating live visuals for the chip music scene since 2005. During that time he has performed at Blip Festival 06, 07, 08, Blip Europe, at many Pulsewave NYC events, 8Static events in Philadelphia, SxSW, PAX, chip shows across the country and his visuals are featured in the documentary, Reformat the Planet. In addition, he was awarded a residency at the Experimental Television Center and has given talks in the US and Europe (Pixsel Festival) on Open Source Software development for the arts.

Fuckjazzforaminute »> Born with a heaping amount of musical ambition, Michael Lerman's life went astray when he pursued his other passion - facial hair. After losing to Je Deviens DJ en 3 Jours in a (Cream in all) moustache contest, Lerman decided to turn his attention chip music, putting swing into the groove, bounce into the bass and fucking jazz for .5 hours, 30 times in a row.
http://www.myspace.com/fckjazzforaminute
J.Y.K. »> Jean Y. Kim makes low-bit visuals that try to integrate textures and daydreams using ‘laptop-alternative’ hardwares like the GP2X, Gameboy Advance, and PS2.
