Ultrachip is the UK’s largest Chiptune and 8-Bit Music Festival. It consists of two days of live music, a Chiptunes market place selling all the necessities for chip music creation, merchandise from the acts, and an afternoon of workshops on creating Chiptunes and Visual Arts.

Jellica (Jake Manley), brings us up to speed about his ‘net label Kitten Rock, releasing Stevens music on it, and taking his clothes off whilst headlining last years Ultrachip (we sense a tradition in the making).
