"When I founded GameChops over a decade ago, the videogame cover scene was dominated by touring rock and jazz bands, and recordings were hard to come by," comments GameChops founder and artist Dj Cutman. "We started the label with a focus on dance music, but with today's debut of The Deku Trio, I hope to recreate the kind of experience you might have enjoyed in a small venue or nightclub in the early 2000s. With multiple follow-up releases planned, The Deku Trio aims to set a new standard for musicianship and performance in the world of videogame covers."

  1. Ocarina of Time
