about

I have been a big fan of Russ's channel since around the time it started. Retro gaming and emulation has long been a hobby of mine, but a lot of the content creators that operated in the space either participated in needless drama, half-assed their reviews, or worse, shilled for shady companies. Russ's videos were a breath of fresh air. Informative, fun, well-made and with a really cute cat showing up for interludes.

In the roughly two years since, I've gotten to know Russ and am grateful to call him a friend. I don't remember who approached who about having me do an intro song for the channel, but just the thought of having my music open Russ's videos sent me over the moon. I was so inspired I think I demoed around a dozen songs before we finally settled on one.

Spoiler alert: this is not that song!

When we were bouncing demo tracks around, the one you are hearing now stuck out to both of us as a clear keeper, but there were concerns that it wasn't "retro game-y" enough, and so we opted to flesh out a more upbeat track instead.

Then Russ's fans heard that track and BOY OH BOY DID THEY HATE IT.

So we revisited that sweet-ass demo that we both liked, and 6 or 7 drum fills later we ended up with what we have here today, THE theme song for my favorite channel on the world wide web.

Be sure to check out www.retrogamecorps.com for the retro gaming stuff (natch) and the only cat on earth cuter than mine.
