NMM #36: DJ Cutman
After running his first 5K, Kent interviews one of the most pivotal figures in video game music community, DJ Cutman!
We cover a lot of ground, including the formation of Cutman's music label GameChops, embracing lofi video game remixes years before it became a major trend, Cutman's passion for video game music and why it's legitimate, and tons of philosophy on the VGM business. Cutman has been doing this for a while and he has a lot of knowledge and retrospective to share on this action-packed show.
