16bit were an electronic music and production duo from London, UK, consisting of Eddie Jefferys and Jason Morrison. They were signed to Chase & Status' MTA Records, and best known for their work with Björk.

16bit were composed of Eddie Jeffreys from South London and Jason Morrison from Bath, Somerset. Both became interested in electronic music at an early age, citing jungle, trance and garage as their main influences. They were best known for producing dubstep and made their debut release in January 2008 with In The Death Car EP featuring the track "Chainsaw Calligraphy" which was recognised for its innovative qualities at the time.

Fourteen of 16bit's songs were used as the soundtrack for the iOS and WiiWare video game Lilt Line.

The duo co-produced "Crystalline" and "Mutual Core" off Björk's 2011 album Biophilia. They subsequently remixed both "Mutual Core" and "Hollow". The album was nominated for two Grammy awards. Jefferys and Morrison went to Brooklyn where they worked with the artist for a week. Björk explained that "I was really torn about whether to use their version of ‘Hollow’ on the album. Their beats for ‘Crystalline’ and ‘Mutual Core’ made it on there, but in the end ‘Hollow’ wound up on the remix album". While Jeffrey said of the collaboration that "working with such abstract time signatures was definitely a strange mix of confusing and enjoyable. She has been so successful without compromising her music or herself.” They produced the single "At Your Inconvenience" from the eponymous album of Professor Green. In 2012, the duo had also produced the track "I Am the Narrator" from Plan B's third studio album iLL Manors.
