Coming back 5 years later for nostalgia. Can’t believe it was this long. Still good today.

[@marethnoethno2703]

his stzyle is epic - thank u

[@J0k3r399]

I just wish he would have finished his awesome "Flight" teaser song.

[@moralessanchezoscarelias6412]

I'm listening to this on 2024, and loving it. I miss this show.

[@jarifin776]

Same here! I would love to see more chiptune performance live

[@LeonTrimble]

When I did visuals for this guy he was like the most super grateful artist I ever worked with… top dude.

[@johnmartinez9220]

Leon Trimble that's awesome! I hope to start doing visuals for the Houston chiptune scene

[@LeonTrimble]

lookit the new modul8 hd that's coming out soon. it's got support for transparent animated gifs - sprite heaven!

[@Viper-py4pg]

Hey do you still do visuals these days? I’m a bit burnt out on video and want to stick with lights badly. It’s been two years and the more I reject my boss the less and less I get to work :/ how long were you in the industry before you had a moment that made you say “this is what I want to do” and did said opportunity actually follow through?

[@zxp3ct3r41]

[@Niekomojo]

@@johnmartinez9220 is there still a chip tune scene in Houstin? Is it at clubs or underground?

Top marks

[@tppr7881]

Thanks.

[@riorattenrudel3907]

he should do more of it again. that is so unique and ageless.

[@pinkdragon6136]

man, I never would have imagined as a kid people would be doing this now. Totally sweet. Im so happy to see all these gameboys still getting love, they always have been so much fun. Ive just been sitting here jamming this drawing something, I cant believe this guy was doing these crazy beats live on 4 gameboys for 30+ minutes straight.... incredible!!!!

[@realgrilledsushi]

Finally refound it again after so many years! My fav chiptune live set! Big ups to Trey Frey and DJ Cutman!

[@Dogeathotdog1]

Heck yeah! 💯

[@bytesabre]

this set is incredible. I keep coming back to it whenever i need a boost, and think about it whenever i need inspiration for my own LSDJ adventures

[@yadav-r]

oh boy.... awesome

[@RaverOperatorGeeza]

This is so good. I only discovered LSDj last week and loved the evening I spent making sounds on it... ...I'm hoping to do some more when all my work is out of the way, but seeing what was demonstrated here had BLOWN MY MIND! And from a set point of view is also great cos there's something for almost everyone in it. Definitely two thumbs up to this upload and the talent of TreyFrey!!!

[@jeepsalt]

practice every night, and read thru the LSDJ manual while you do it. What he's using here is heavy sampling, which you'll get into someday dude!

[@RaverOperatorGeeza]

@@jeepsalt thanks Jeepsalt. I ended up getting a M8 Tracker, and loving it!

[@iorch82]

Fucking liked. This guy has some serious talent

[@Gadzooki]

Come back Cutman, we need you!

[@cemsengul16]

So cool man. Ever since I discovered chiptunes I have become obsessed with it.

[@jeepsalt]

are you still obsessed?

[@BookooZenny]

Comin back to this video after learning a thing or two and I'm just more impressed by the depth this guy achieves given the hardware's wonderful limitations. Mad respect for sure

[@racoonzattack]

Who came here in 2019 after watching MKBHD's video featuring chiptune artist Storm Trooper!? I had heard of 8-bit bands but I had never heard of chiptune. Even though it's similar the mindblowing part is seeing someone mix live using the music chips! Incredible!

[@738benjamin]

Me!

[@gorebrush]

Back here because this is simply a good mix. Probably been listening to chiptune on and off since 2004 - around the time of the great "SLAY Radio". Not sure if those guys are still around now, but they played a load of chiptunes live every week back in the day. Good times.

[@jackhurley1428]

I did anyway!

[@HippieMoshpit]

Thank you DJ Cutman for hosting a show like this, don't remember how I got here but I got to know Trey's music because of this. And that made me more open to other chiptunes because other times I looked for them I stumbled upon mostly beginners just playing around or artists that weren't necessarily bad, but didn't 'wow' me either so the hunt for more was never long. But now I've found a couple awesome ones! Some through your TWiC shows as well, so I'll be watching more of those :)

[@luckyme6888]

Here for it in 2020! EYYYYYYYY!!!!! 🙌🏾

[@korzbeats]

08:17 Holy firetruck! is amazing!

[@kabutoFPS]

man the nostalgia is so real, this will always be dope to me

[@RobAllison]

I come back to this video so often

[@freddymeisner]

I listened all the way to the last song. Who is cooler than this dude? So fucking rad

[@satan2k]

Mind blown. I never knew a simple gameboy could output that kind of sounds.

[@AngelusNeko]

a screen is like a blank canvas, we use our imagination to create adventures, stories, characters, and abilities but we cant always count on our head to visualise a world of digital dimension, let us create that world into a physical image. that image soon became the symbol that we all know as video games, the world of endless creation and fantasy, everything is controlled by the tips of your fingers, you are the paintbrush and the screen is your canvas, lets create a masterpiece :) i made that up during this video cause omg games are life! wouldn't y'all agree?

[@Liedton]

retro is soo freaking cool iam proud to be a kid of the 90´s! retrowave is rolling over all of us and we dance and chill...

[@glemii_chip]

+Tomas Zero ..what?

[@valeriotodaro5547]

HOOW IT'S POSSIBLE!? WTF SOUNDS RAW

[@NerisMF]

Without a doubt, this was an epic episode! Trey Frey is a monster on Chiptune! Respect and admiration for the musical art he is able to do with these four game boy.

[@StannyObelisk]

I love how you're using them like CDJs lol. this is so great

[@Daaannns]

Wow!!! Stumbled across this. Brings tears to my eyes remembering the times when I first rinsed the heck out of Trey's tunes! Influenced what I listen to nowadays, thank you 🧡

[@holguacamol8408]

OMFG at 12:18 i realized what song it was and my jaw dropped. i love stuff like this discovering the composers of songs you hear in compilations, and it happens alot specially in these chiptune communities.

[@octuremp8501]

S H I T S M E L L i think your profile picture describes it too

[@TheScorcher541]

Trey where are you now ? You are the best !

[@TAGMedia7]

Saw Trey Frey live at Too Many Games 2016 and it was a hell of a show!

[@sleeksm4]

Treys hair flapping into his own eye. But no fucks given hes so into it lmao

[@darianalexander5503]

Dude, imagine changing all those batteries. Fuck...

[@jodusk89]

Depends on type of battery but yea you do have to buy a shot load

[@MetalUpYourAssTV]

+Darian Alexander (Nerd With The Glasses) they will work with just direct power plugged into them

[@darianalexander5503]

+  I total forgot they had power inputs. Ive actually never owned an original gameboy.

[@shophet125]

+Darian Alexander (Nerd With The Glasses) Use Eneloop batteries.

[@atari26003]

+Darian Alexander (Nerd With The Glasses) This sounds like somebody never had played pokemon too hardcore. I still remember running 4 Gameboys at once to just complete my Pokedex. lol. The extended batteries were awesome for the time!

[@brandonjohnston9206]

Brings me back a few....you guys rock!!

[@zxp3ct3r41]

Love him

[@seigfried1315]

32:08 when you decide to go back and binge listen to "This Week in Chiptune" I miss this shit

[@toxicmushroom6134]

just keep playing those sick beats

[@michaelhawkridge6982]

Sounds as good if not better than some recent house music I've been listening to, this guy is awesome! :D

[@thatthing7131]

ive just experienced my first eargasm

[@michaelalois]

This is baby making music.

[@michaellyles3853]

Never heard of this genre before and I love it, with it's 8-bit crossed with lofi hiphop samples, amazing!

[@newforestroadwarrior]

This completely rocks

[@krafuna]

the CAT is the best hahahahahaha

[@ChallengeTheNarrative]

Now that's proper dj-ing

[@Ghaz002]

i would be yelling but i love when the jams are just 2 powerful for the cpu

[@nicholasfinch4087]

Still come back to this every now and again because there's something really unmatched about the quality and way this was done.

[@jeepsalt]

agree its literally top 3 peak of chiptune on gameboys

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

I want to try this so bad.

[@tequilasunset6567]

you can use a gameboy emulator on your computer and LSDJ costs 1 cent

[@Thisweekinchiptune]

it's true! littlesounddj.com

[@TAGMedia7]

Get yourself a copy of LSDJ, a Gameboy emulator and USB controller!

[@BookooZenny]

TAG Media forgive my ignorance, but what do you mean by USB controller? Like a MIDI controller with USB connectivity? Or do you mean something like the USB Boy for example? I ask because I've had a somewhat hard time figuring out precisely what hardware I need to finally get my chiptune on. Any advice would be awesome~

[@robmarples1426]

I think TAG means a USB Keyboard or other control device. Assuming you'll be downloading LSDJ and using via a Gameboy Emulator on your phone. LSDJ won't work with touchscreens as it requires combinations of more than 1 button press at a time for certain inputs

[@shadoninja]

Really really cool music on this feature.

[@maxkeo]

had this on repeat for the past week.

[@DanHernandezTheBest]

I've watched this video so many times while working. I'd love to see another Trey Frey set in the future

[@hubzcaps]

this is hot......and tracking with sync on a gameboy.......now I've seen everything

[@matta5041]

Very solid set, wall to wall.

[@TheWaveFiles]

The melodies are so well written .great music.hope you'll come to France someday : ) thanks for the freakin' good vibes.

[@craigmitchell8892]
