Button Masher is Jake Silverman, a pianist and arranger who figured out how to make a chip sound swing. He took home a Grammy in 2021 for his arrangement of “Meta Knight’s Revenge,” cut with Charlie Rosen and The 8-Bit Big Band, and his solo work runs the same trick in reverse: real jazz harmony and reharmonization poured over 8-bit and 16-bit textures. On GameChops he teamed with Dj Cutman for “Jubilife Village,” a piano-and-chiptune read of the Pokémon Legends: Arceus theme that stays loose where the original sits still.

Funk Fiction materialized by the coastal waters and urban sprawl of Los Angeles. As a child of the 90s, he was influenced by the beginnings of the 16-bit era, Nicktoons, and the advent of Electronica. Despite being a funkster at heart, he’s also adept at dissolving genres – blurring the lines between 80s RnB, nu disco, ambient chillwave, and deep house.

Rifti Beats is a beat-maker who flips anime and video game themes into lofi hip-hop, and his calling card on GameChops is the Final Fantasy series. Chocobo & Chill was his first solo album for the label and the seventh entry in its “& Chill” line, taking 15 of Nobuo Uematsu’s compositions from Final Fantasy VI through X and reworking them into something you can nod along to. It did well enough to earn a sequel, Chocobo & Chill II, and the original later landed on vinyl.
