Tim Chopper is not your average small town guy. He began deejaying and producing music under the moniker Timmy Chopper in Mondovi. Chopper has since relocated to Eau Claire, and his music has evolved with his move. This year, venues across Wisconsin – including The Plus in Eau Claire and Hoots on the Water in Rice Lake – have been host to his electrifying beats. In July, Chopper played the Sub Octave Music Festival in Houston, Minnesota, alongside prominent electronic artists from the Midwest and all around the country. Chopper’s bass-heavy style and futuristic sound classify him as an EDM artist, but he is a musician in his own right. His hot new EP Obliti, released just last month, could be defined as classic electronica with a hypnotic twist. Teeming with originality, Obliti puts you in a trance and keeps you there. Synthesized vocals transport you to an alternate world where unexpected tempo changes, dissonant harmonies, and dynamic surprises lurk in every corner. Check out Obliti and while you’re there, listen to other Timmy Chopper tracks on Soundcloud, Spotify, and iTunes.
