Boy-Bit 8-Pop

Shave and a haircut, 8-bits!

If you haven’t realized it yet, we’re 8-bit connoisseurs! From Graffiti Monsters and Rainbow Jump Orchestra! to nordloef, Plamo and cow’p we like to wet our palette with many bits at once. For those who wish to dabble into the realm of 8-bit, I tend to stay within the boundaries of pop rather than appreciative stylistic electronics. However, these songs should offer you an awesome start! If you have any recommendations I would LOVE to hear them, feel free to comment or send me an email. The picture above is from an exhibit called “I Am 8-bit,” peep the gallery here.
