Streets of Rage

🔥🔥🔥NOTE: This is the FINAL CRASH edition of the soundtrack, with fully remastered tracks optimized for F-Games' STREETS OF RAGE X fan game - (Nov 23/2023) 🔥🔥🔥

Yuzo Koshiro and Motohiro Kawashima pulled double duty for the "Streets of Rage 3" soundtrack, and it shows. This extremely divisive soundtrack hit unprepared gamers and SOR fans like a 2x4 when it first released, but over the years, it has grown its appreciative fan base.

When I first began expanding and enhancing the "Streets of Rage" soundtracks, I was not particularly enthusiastic about tackling the third game. However, after biting the bullet, I came to enjoy the project immensely, and it's the one I'm most proud of. The sheer chaos of the soundtrack gave me room to either capitalize, or deviate from the source material in a way that, in my humble opinion, just works. 

My signature expansions are new additions to the songs in order to make them longer, and broader in scope. This is my take on what Koshiro and Kawashima would have done with more time, better hardware, and higher storage capacity. As always, EVERY song in the soundtrack has been painstakingly recreated from the ground up, note-for-note. NO sampling, NO rips, NO stems.

Streets of rage

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 23/23🔥 - The FINAL CRASH edition of my Streets of Rage soundtracks is now complete, culminating with the third game in the franchise. This frantic, chaotic and psychotic mix of breakbeat, techno and hardcore originally came courtesy of sonic geniuses Yuzo Koshiro and Motohiro Kawashima. My job was to rewrite every song from scratch, note-for-note, and expand on the original songs, fleshing them out with entirely new sections. When I originally began this project years ago, I thought SOR3 would be my least-favorite soundtrack to work on. As it turns out, it was the most challenging, the most rewarding, and the one I'm most proud of. Please enjoy.

NOTE: This is the "Final Crash" edition of the song, in reference to the last time I will be touching the original SOR soundtracks. I now consider them totally complete.

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 23/23🔥 - "Fuze" was the first song in SOR3 that signified a dramatic departure from the first two games. This soundtrack would be hardcore, and Motohiro Kawashima brought the goods. For this song, I wanted to build an expansion onto it that felt completely natural and logical, and I wanted the listener to miss the transition entirely. The objective? To create a sense that this is the definitive fleshed out version of the song. It's my take, and I hope Kawashima-san enjoys it, if he ever listens to it.

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 23/23🔥 - When developing the music for Streets of Rage 3, a technique was used to artificially create randomized sequences that could not otherwise be dreamt up by the human mind.  Cycle I is a perfect example of the chaotic heavy industrial techno approach the game took, and it was a challenge to flesh this one out. Less turned out to be more, as any significant deviation would have ruined the track altogether. Great job by Motohiro Kawashima on the original composition.

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 23/23🔥 - This is one of the more accessible and traditional tracks in the Streets of Rage 3 soundtrack, but it's still a gritty number that required a "less is more" approach.  I've written a brand new middle section with a more kinetic pace, and a few surprises designed to maintain the authenticity of this song, without changing too much. Happy with how it turned out.

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 23/23🔥 - Dub Slash is a menacing track with a lot of abstract notes and alarming twists, so this expanded version is meant to build on that, while bringing a brief period of cohesion to the song, before it all "falls apart" again.  This was a fun track to do, and I'm happy to have cleaned it up more for the last edition.

"Ben and I have been talking about collabing forever, and agreed that when we did it had to be the perfect representation of G-House, in its highest form. A couple months ago Ben came to me with the idea of working with the vocals from "Hello", and I knew immediately that this was the perfect concept for our collab. I'm so happy with how the track turned out, it's been destroying in my sets lately and think we accomplished exactly we set out to do... hopefully we get some fuckin' thanks for it." - Dr. Fresch

"This collab with Tony has been a long time coming, and we both agreed when the right idea came along we had to execute it precisely. Both with a west coast influence in music we knew the Hello Vocals would settle nicely into a proper G-House track. I couldn't be happier with the final outcome of this record as its my proudest final cut to date." - Bijou

This is my favorite Hip-Hop track right now - the second I first heard it I knew I had to remix it. Because the track is 136 BPM I thought taking a bassline approach was the move, I slowed it down to 133 BPM and it worked perfectly. I hope my fans enjoying listening and playing this one out!

Spinning Machine Streets of Rage 3

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 6/23🔥 - "Go Straight" is one of the hardest Streets of Rage songs to mix, balance and master. After years of fighting it, I've finally created a version that I feel most happy with. I don't think I'll ever get it perfect (nothing is), but this is the closest to the vision I wanted. This is one of the hardest rocking video game tunes ever created, and I'm proud to build on Yuzo Koshiro's dynamite ingenuity and imagination with my expanded sections.

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 6/23🔥 - When planning for the FINAL CRASH editions of Streets of Rage 2, I realized that my original project files had been lost. So, I took the opportunity to create an entirely new version of "In The Bar" to round out the package. I think it sounds better than ever, and I'm happy with how it turned out. With smooth saxophones, flutes and funky horns, this is one jazzy, sexy rendition of a Koshiro klassic!

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 6/23🔥 - "Never Return Alive" is the one track that blew everyone away when I expanded it years ago. Now, I'm happy to put out the FINAL CRASH edition of the song, with the best balancing, clarity and power to bring out the sound. With thrashing heavy metal rhythm guitars and thumping beats, I wanted to pay homage to Koshiro's work with a Boss theme to end ALL Boss themes.

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 6/23🔥 - "Spin On The Bridge" has always been a challenge to master, given how much insanity is going on inside the song. It's positively manic, with a deep sub-bass that will rip the speakers apart, making it very hard to EQ and master. I'm happy with this final edition of my expanded and enhanced version, and I hope you all get in the spirit of the game, especially when you play Streets of Rage X by F-Games, where I provide the official soundtrack.

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 6/23🔥 - "Ready Funk" is a fun little tune, and I always loved the quirky expansion I built onto the original song. Nothing much has changed here, except a much cleaner, wider and vibrant sonic mix. Fitting for the final release.

My name is MaestroDraven, and I recreate the classic video game songs of old, NOTE-FOR-NOTE, and then build entirely new sections designed to flesh them out and expand on the originals. This is a labor of love, and my way of paying tribute to the great composers of old.
