2003
Two DJ’s and one VJ create eightBitRate – a multimedia project of underground music and video performances inspired by early 8BIT electronic games. They took their first steps in their home city of Naples, where they created interactive parties which included nights of 8BIT videogames, electronic music, acid colors and stunning visuals! After the huge success of these parties they started to perform in several clubs around the city, supporting artists such as Trentemoller, Grove Armada, Chicken Lips, Oliver Koletktzi, Todd Terry and many more.
