Approved: 8Bitch

Back home in Slovenia, Maya Medvesek is best known as an actress and TV presenter, over here she’s becoming increasingly known as Glasgow-based producer 8Bitch, making music which she describes as “a blend of synth-funk, hip hop and techno” and her dad calls “Super Mario jazz”. Both are accurate, but one sounds like more fun.
Her tracks have a soulful, warm feel that can be so hard to capture in techno and more minimal production in general. Tracks like ‘Heart Bit and ‘Safari’ don’t just make you want to dance, they’ll bring a smile to your face and a wobble of bass to your heart, too. Catch a whole host of tracks and remixes on her MySpace page. Numerous releases across various labels are apparently planned this year, but are currently being kept under wraps. For now, you can find her (not playing any music) in the ‘DJ Hero’ videogame, in which three of the female characters were modelled on her movements.
