Attract Mode @ MoCCA Fest This Weekend!

New products from 8bitpeoples at the Attract Mode table.

Matt is going to be at MoCCA Art Fest in New York this weekend running the Attract Mode table. Here are the details:

MoCCA Festival 2010
Saturday and Sunday
April 10 & 11, 2010
69th Regiment Armory
68 Lexington Avenue
New York, NY

Attract Mode is at table B15.

We are still recovering from how much PAX East cleaned out our inventory, but Matt has been working hard to make sure we have lots to offer. In addition to what we have in the online store, he also was able to nab some goods from 8bitpeoples. The coolest addition is definitely the Nullsleep x Videogramo shirt (see above). I'm kind of hoping we don't sell out so I can grab one for myself!

Matt will also have some Meat Bun shirts and the Blip DVDs by 2 Player Productions. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to finish the 3rd issue of Fort90Zine in time for the show, but that just means you will have to make it to the release party at Babycastles later this month. It's a good time to play games and live in New York!

She’s the DJ, He’s the Rapper

Chiptune collective 8bitpeoples released two EPs on Sunday, including an interesting collaboration between Coova and Bud Melvin titled She’s the DJ, He’s the Rapper. According to the description this has been in the works since the first Blip Festival in 2006. That must explain why it's the best album I've heard all year…

I saw Bud Melvin in Reformat the Planet, but never seriously listened to any of his “Hey, you got banjo in my Game Boy!” style of chiptunes before this collab. It stands out from the usual, danceable 8 bit songs (in a good way), and makes for a great combination with Coova's dreamy bleeps.

Listen to my favorite track “Sjutton” below, then head over to 8bitpeoples and grab the entire album.
