cred: i am 8bit
BWR TH NVSN is currently underway and to celebrate the homecoming of Luke, Ary and the ‘guchi bros I’ve arranged a lil’ mixtape for ya’ll with some of my favorite 8bit covers, tunes and a special track from Anamanaguchi. I’ve found that over the past few years many folks raging hard at Anamanaguchi shows, myself included, haven’t the slightest idea of what 8bit music is or even realize that there is such a larger picture – we just love what we hear and need more. For those who have heard these infectious sounds and are craving a fix, those who just came home from our show tonight or those who just love to fuck around with 8bit this is for you. By searching the blog you can see that I’ve put these together in the past hoping that one person out there finds something new to love, but with today’s collection I don’t think that’s an issue. Enjoy the hell out of these tunes, I rock hard to ‘em.
To celebrate, here’s a tune from the Anamanaguchi vault. It’s an old demo currently being revamped so look out for it at live shows and hopefully on their next release!
