Sounds interesting...
Didn't Beck Hansen start this trend with the 8 bit remixes on his album 'Guero'???
Nice blog, by the way, even though I don't feel trendy enough to read it, I still added you to my Google Reader feeds list :)

No, Beck didn't start anything. This is something going on for many more years before it has become "trendy". It started in the mid 80s and developed throughout the 90s gearing towards this latest incarnation you see nowadays.
Check http://8bp050.8bitpeoples.com , which is the recopilatory album showcasing most of the most reknowned artists of the genre in the world. 4Mat and Jeroen Tel, for example, have been on it for at least 20 years.
