Here, we are very impressed by this concept and very reasonable price. If you’re making beats every day, and you have people around you working on the same kind of thing, you’re bound to come up with all sorts of crazy ideas. I think that’s really the central idea of the project: nothing makes you a better producer than practicing all the time. I’m hoping it will also help people get into the practice of making a beat every day. After that success, and being approached by a few different players in the industry, I wanted to switch to doing something more sustainable, which is how I came to doing the subscription service. And out of nowhere, it actually got a lot of attention, very quickly. I put it on the internet for a very low price, thinking it might be a way to make a few bucks. To be honest I think I was just stupid enough to think that it would work! As a beat-maker I have access to a lot of different sounds, and I gathered some of the best sounds that I could find into a folder of all my favourite samples. Where did the idea of making sample packs and selling them come from? Today, I continue to work in the beatmaking with Tasty Chops. I’m pretty entrenched in LA, but I’ve also been touring the country a fair bit, as well as making a few trips around the world. My friend Daddy Kev mastered my first album, Obsoletisme and I’ve also been able to play at Los Angeles’ world renowned club weekly, Low End Theory.

I’m signed to Dome of Doom records, which is distributed by Alpha Pup.

I got into the world of beat-making, and managed to make a space for myself in the LA scene. At the same time I was making a lot of rock and eventually I got to the stage where I wanted to make my own music without having to rely on anyone else. I would record the conversations that my friends had when they came round to my house and I would make “beats” out of them. I started to make noises when I was 15 years old. So that was a world that I was very close to, and familiar with, as far back as I remember. My uncle was Aram Gharabekian, the conductor for the Armenian national orchestra.
