Geekcrush #37: DJ Bubblyfish

Posted on November 2, 2008 by

Last night at the Machinima Festival after-party at Eyebeam labs we were treated to the unique 8-bit DJ stylings of Ms. Haeyoung Kim, better known as Bubblyfish.  I’ve seen Bubblyfish a couple of times before and have been blown away by her retro gaming-influenced electronica.  Bubblyfish’s performances combine wonderfully retro imagery from old 8-bit games…
