NOTE: Our fault on the short notice but Leeni won't be able to make it tonight so Oven Rake will be filling in. Still going to be awesome.
After four years of covering the explosive Chipmusic scene in New York City and producing the internationally acclaimed documentary, "Reformat the Planet," filmmaking crew 2 Player Productions packed up shop and made for the Pacific Northwest to bring Portland its first monthly Chip show, dataPort.
Following in the footsteps of its wildly successful East coast counterparts, Pulsewave (NYC) and 8static (Philadelphia), dataPort presents a showcase of innovative, experimental, and lo-fi music with an emphasis on exploring the untapped potential that lies just beneath the plastic shell of vintage computing and gaming consoles such as the Nintendo Entertainment System and Game Boy.
Head out to Ground Kontrol (511 NW Couch St.) on February 3rd to experience the first installment of this exciting addition to Portland's electronic music scene and the ever-growing global Chipmusic community at large.

A delicate balancing act of fast-paced fist-pumpers and moody, spacey soundscapes that combine to conjure images of robotic combat, interstellar exploration, and other various epic adventures in between.
