For the last few years, we’ve been focused on battles, cyphers and tours — but now we’re going back to our roots.

The Chop started at Play Bar as a monthly beatmaker and producer showcase, and has grown into Australia’s longest-running beatmaker community. From showcase events to beat battles, the Quality Beats video series, cyphers, content and tours — we’ve done it all.

Now we’re expanding into even more formats.

Whether you’re an established beatmaker or just coming up, get in touch and be part of what’s next.

Upcoming, established, past and new acts all welcome.
