The original Video Game DJ — Music producer, performer, and mix engineer — Final Boss of GameChops

a humble request to change the color of a vinyl record in a mockup design
If you’ve been following me or GameChops for a while, you may be wondering what’s up with this new format. Since it’s been a few months since our last email, and many of you on Substack may be learning about us for the first time, here’s a little backstory… I started GameChops as a humble mixtape in 2010. Working as an assistant engineer in a record studio in Ithaca, after-hours I chopped up samples of video game chiptunes and layered them with hard hitting, east coast drum beats reminiscent of the city where I was born, New York. I called my first mixtape “Game Chops” and released it on Bandcamp in 2010. That’s where the seeds of this mailing list were first planted. Over the next couple years, I toured Comic Cons and anime conventions, playing my video game beats to whoever would listen. I met some great musicians out on the road, and in 2012 we released our first collaborative album, The Triforce of Bass.
