The Artists:
Natty
Natty is Nathaniel Adams: writer, musician, and President of the Institute for Elegance. He composes music using software running on hand-held devices such as the PlayStation Portable, Nintendo Game Boy, and (as soon as someone invents some music software for it,) the Amazon Kindle 2. He resides in Jersey City, New Jersey, where he spends most of his time fully dressed. He is the inventor of many cocktails and the beneficiary of many kisses and flutters of eyelashes.
TouchBoy
TouchBoy is the electro disco chiptune project of David Stevers from Toronto, Canada. Its purpose: recontextualize retro game console technology within dance music culture by synthesizing a unique blend of electro bass, space disco and melodic Game Boys. Each TouchBoy performance is constructed anew and dispatched with an intensive fervour - consumed with releasing the maximum soul from the minimum machine.

In the late months of 2007 Buskerdroid bought his first Gameboy lsdj cart, giving birth to his micromusic project. Between 2007 and 2009 Buskerdroid took part in many 8bit parties and became a member of the italian collective MicromusicRomeHQ.
Still refining a new 8bit/micromusic sound Buskerdroid mixes it up with more modern compositions, presenting more variety in the employment of several instruments and less of a game console sound.
