8 bit metal covers? How could we say no.
THE LINE UP
DJ BALLI
DJ Balli is the performing name of the Italian based breakcore artist Riccardo Balli. With a past as a drummer in the straight edge hardcore band "Isotopi del Dolore" and as a noise musician in the "S.E.B." plunderphonics collective. In 2000, after taking a break from music to write, DJ Balli returned with the release of three tracks on the "Rave In Space" compilation CD. The year 2000 was also when he started his own label Sonic Belligeranza and began DJing more regularly. Bored with the average DJs, standing and playing one record after the other, Balli got involved into the more "adventurous" turntablism, melting his crab, flare and chirp scratch with digital glitch from the laptop.

MICROPUPAZZO
Micropupazzo is 1785 invention by Karll Mikkröpüpaato from Kreikeris that claims to show "over-unity" energy - a route to purported perpetual motion. In Micropupazzo, a steel ball is pulled up a ramp by magnetism and then falls, so the magnetic energy is converted into kinetic energy. Mikkröpüpaato claims that an effect called regauging then happens, allowing the process to be repeated without the application of outside energy.
