Blip Festival Brings The Beeps
Next month marks the first time a chiptune festival has ever landed in Australia – a sad insufficiency in Melbourne’s dance music scene, many will agree.
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.
It all takes place at The Evelyn on Friday February 17 and Saturday February 18.
