Arcade Royale: A Chiptune Tribute to Squid Game

Step into a pixelated battleground of nostalgia and suspense with Arcade Royale, an electrifying homage to Netflix’s Squid Game. This seven-track album reimagines the show’s most iconic classical pieces through an "Electro-Classical" lens: where 8-bit soundscapes meet timeless orchestration.

Faithfully arranged but sonically transformed, each piece maintains its original structure while swapping strings, brass, and woodwinds for retro chiptune tones straight out of a vintage arcade cabinet. From the regal blast of Haydn’s Trumpet Concerto in E-flat Major to the dreamy unease of Satie’s Gymnopédie No. 1, Arcade Royale amplifies the eerie elegance that made these compositions unforgettable in the series.

Perfect for fans of classical music, retro gaming, and the haunting thrill of Squid Game, this release is a bold fusion of past and future; where baroque meets bitcrushed.
