| Profile: | 8GB is an audiovisual 8-bit project developed in 2004 as a natural flow of the activities of Akira (of kiken.corporation fame) both visual and musical, and his fixation with old computer hardware utilized in modern working environments. Merged into his kiken.corporation “world”, with the help of Bubblo on the visuals, 8GB aims towards creating currently listenable beats with old sounds, reminiscing of the technology in use but not being completely dependent on it as to create tunes that are just recognized as ‘just another videogame-like tune’, making an urban blend that can be enjoyed by most any audience interested in fresh new sounds while still retaining appeal for the bleep-obsessed nut. Starting in Buenos Aires, Argentina and pretending to gain ‘world audiovisual domination’ while ‘hidden beneath secret identities’ as 8-Bit Security Agents, Akira and Blo keep on recruiting followers to their New 8-Bit Order.
8GB has performed in the most varied situations, from underground microparties to the top of the commercial circuit in events like Creamfields Buenos Aires, South American Music Conference and Onedotzero, also passing through the one and only, world reknowned, most important event of 8-Bit Music in the world, the Blip Festival in New York City, USA, and are now involved with reknowned labels like 8bitpeoples and Intikrec.
