Square Sounds Melbourne 2018: chiptune & retrotech

Square Sounds is a boutique micro-festival that celebrates the world’s foremost chipmusic talent and it's 6th year in Melbourne will mark the last before a hiatus - so it's one that chipmusic fans will want to make sure they make it to.

With Game boys, Commodores and other consoles scavenged from op shops and forgotten toyboxes in hand, artists come together from all over the world to stretch the boundaries of what video game consoles can do; coaxing sights and sounds from these unexpected tools. Building a community is what the last four years have been all about and in year number five, we have managed to line up some of our most requested artists from talented newcomers to legends of the scene, bringing them together across four days of music, visuals and workshops.

This is a boutique festival with broad appeal, with something for every electronic music fan, and in many cases, will be your only chance to see some of these artists live and local.
