GameChops is a record label for video game covers and remixes.
GameChops was the world’s first record label dedicated to video game remixes and cover songs, established in 2010. We license all of our tracks from the original composers or game companies to create high-quality, stand out covers and albums based on our favorite video games.
We license the game compositions used in our music, and release our tunes creative commons. Every stream, download and purchase supports both the remixers and original composers.
Game Music is Real Music
We believe video game music deserves the same love and appreciation as any other genre. Since our start, we’ve built a global community of fans who share a passion for gaming, collecting vinyl, and celebrating the art of game music.
Our Team
We’re a group of musicians, producers, and visual artists who cover iconic game soundtracks in new and exciting ways.
We blend styles like lofi hip hop, smooth jazz, orchestral, ambient, and electronica. Perfect for productivity, relaxing, and nostalgia.
Top-Tier Production
Every release is mixed and mastered for the highest sound quality. Our albums feature exclusive artwork created by talented illustrators and designers, making each release as visually striking as it is sonically impactful.
We are Listener Funded
GameChops reinvests in our artists, helping them create music without the restrictions of traditional record label contracts. By supporting our music — whether through streaming, buying vinyl, or sharing — you’re helping independent creators continue to make music that resonates with fans around the world.
