We started making pause tape beats...(looping in two tape decks) around 1988. We graduated to an 8 second sampling mixers, then technology and affordability finally allowed us to get an Akai Asr-10. Something we always loved was making instrumental beat records, instead of putting up with emcees who couldn't agree on anything to save their lives. On our own, happy and broke, we keep working. In 1998 technology and affordability once again allowed us to get back to work. This time not only do we have the equipment, but the label to do this right. We are... Chocolate Chess! She had other ideas about releasing our music, she gained our respect as she showed us new ways of doing business. She could have taken a better gig as a junior exec a major label...but she likes us (to a fault). Her name is Maddie Hutch, and she runs... Glam Royal Records!
