Ultracade live

Enter a digital mecca - play classic games, request your favourite themes, dance like a chic geek and get a hi-score. 

Ultracade Live is a nostalgic evening celebrating the games, the sounds and the sprites of the golden era of video game culture. 

Over the last 10 years DJ TR!P has spent his waking life creating 8-bit music, collecting retro games and has even travelled to Tokyo to find the best and weirdest gaming soundtracks to showcase and satisfy your inner nerd.

Avid fans are encouraged to come in costume – prizes will be awarded for the best dressed and highest score! A $500 Mana Bar voucher and a range of exciting prize packs from Comics Etc and Game Traders are up for grabs.

 “Ultracade Live fuses games, music, tournaments & visuals. It's a homage to the golden era of game culture” PC Powerplay Magazine

”Music flows out over the audience in thick, meaty, 8-bit waves. It's sad and heavy in parts; the opening of a murder mystery adventure. David Cage's Fahrenheit, it's electronic pulse fading with each loop; DJ TR!P easing the rhythm into a body bag, only to suddenly jab it back to life with a nightclub adrenaline shot to its digital heart. He starts buzzing then, feeding off the beat as Prodigy-style riffs mix together with a Matrix sound scape. Spins, tweaks & flicks of the deck come deftly, with no hint of the pre-performance twitchiness. A master of electronica.” Drew Taylor, GameSetWatch.com
