Finding success in the US, Europe and Japan since its inception in 2006, 8bitpeoples are bringing the low-tech, bleepy sounds of chiptune down to Australia in the form of Blip Festival, set to rock Melbourne with a selection of premier artists in the scene from across Australia and beyond. The lineup includes names such as Bit Shifter, Nullsleep, Trash80, Batsly Adams and heaps more – think high-energy, lo-fi audiovisual magic.
