About
I am Triston Scales, a Los Angeles producer making sample driven music as Gabscale. I publish Yaps On Record, an independent magazine for artist discovery, production breakdowns, and music essays. I also run Pizza Time Productions, where I help brands make video and social people actually want to watch.
I started making beats in 2015 on a Novation app on my iPad and uploaded them to SoundCloud just to see what would happen. That experiment grew into Ghost (2024) and EDEN (2025), both written and produced in my bedroom studio.
Yaps on Record
Yaps On Record is my independent label and magazine for artists who deserve more coverage. I publish music essays, sampling and production breakdowns, newsletter writing, curated playlists, and artist discovery. All built independently from my bedroom studio in Los Angeles.
Pizza Time Productions
Pizza Time Productions is my video and social studio. I help brands make campaigns, YouTube features, and social content people actually save and share. If you want work that feels native to the internet, not just like an ad, that is what we make.

Here's what I can make for your brand
not just ads, mini yaps that convert
Dedicated Video Integration
A full YouTube feature built around your product. I open with a strong hook, build a beat or break down a sample, and weave your tool into the story so it lives on the channel and keeps getting discovered.
Includes
Short Form Clips
Native hooks for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts, plus cutdowns from long-form. Made for bedroom producers and music nerds who stop scrolling when they hear a flip.
Includes
Gear / Product Reviews
DAWs, plugins, samples, hardware, headphones. I show first use in Ableton, walk through workflow, and give honest pros and cons from a real session, not a spec sheet.
Includes
Content Pillars

Studio life after grad school. Messy desks, boba runs, and what it takes to keep making independently.

Note
I only partner with stuff I would actually use in my bedroom studio. If it is soulless, I will say no kindly.
