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.
