Pilot: "Nothing better than outrunning the sun across the Miami shore line."  

Miami Dawn

Pilot: "One more day has past, and the fight is over. The battle and the struggle will continue, but for now we make the Run for Home."

Game Complete. Level End. The final sprint to complete the mission.

Run For Home

"The clock ticks... the road ahead is littered with bandits and wasters. 'Pilot' sets his nav and prepares for the run into the night."

NightRunner

SkyCap: "Confirmed Uplink, reports from North Post31 send you their gratitude Pilot. Captain Beckett assures me you've made new friends, hell, you even got all the ladies after you! Now suit up and overdrive 34 to the next mission."

Turbo

The FTL drive is down, the nearest nebular is 3 days travel, and that squeak in the airlock is back! You are the only pilot with the training and the chutzpah to take the experimental STRFTRV1 craft and find an Allie for... well, let's say "the good guys" ?!??

Pixel Perfect

StarFighter

Get The Track

Inspiring tracks, amazing art, graphical power... all fired into your childhood brain in the final boss stage battle of... the Console Wars.

'Pixel Perfect' is a selection of tracks greatly inspired by various games that blew my mind in the 80s and 90s. You will be able to hear nuggets of nostalgic gold and morsels of juicy retro dreams, things that, to this day, are groundbreaking and inspiring to me for the music I create.

Alongside the 15 tracks of retro goodness, I teamed up with LENAPIXELS The 'TopRun' art designer and creator to make every pixel count for the radical cover!

I remember back in 1997 writing to Acclaim and Konami, asking if they needed a 16-year-old naive composer to write their next top trax... I wonder if they ever received my demo tape of synthy dreams?

Enjoy, Share, Listen, Download and Playlist. It's also on all the platforms like Spotify and Apple.

The Night Matrix

Via NYC

The nights are long and too hot to sleep, the want of physical connection and touch are strained over the distance, the voice on the other end of the line captivates and intrigues. In between the line noise and occasional interference, promises and whispers wrapped in pillow talk, make for electric anticipation... and wanting.

I Know I'm Human

Inspired by awesome games like ‘Track and Field’ and ‘Ski or Die’ to the uplifting ‘go for glory’ attitude of film soundtracks throughout the 80’s, ‘AirGames ’84’ is an anthem for the latest sport to sweep Mars. Like the films ‘Rollerball’ and ‘The Running Man’ in the not so distant future, sport has stepped up a level, and now, the Air Games League of 2084, fuses Football and Jetpacks into one, bigger, better, beautiful game. 

From the New Album from Beckett - 'Retrograde' coming Nov 2015

AirGames '84

Featuring the beautiful vocals of Rachael Jones

Retrograde:
The soundtracks to games, films and life of the 1980s are the pinnacle of high calibre design and infectious listening. Who doesn’t love the intros to those cartoons, or the driving rhythms of TV cop shows, right through to the keep the dream spirit of the action films that have shaped generations… mine, yours... and still it continues.

Retrograde is a collection of tracks that have manifested themselves from thousands of hours gaming, or viewing, each minute becoming more and more enriched by the influence. The hope is you will hear, and you will remember a time, it’s not the exact time you know of, but the recall and connection should feel familiar. Progress can sometimes be found in retrograde...

‘Primetime’ is a prime example of the music influences from TV shows I grew up with throughout the 1980’s. If I wrote theme tunes, these are the soundtracks to a host of shows that never were.

"Welcome Sports Fans, 

Greetings and Salutations wherever you are across the Earth, and here on the Big Red. From the "PathFinder" Arena, Live on Mars, I'm your host, Jon Beckett, and boy do we have a show for you. The stakes are high, the temperature is hot, and we have a capacity crowd... 

Ready. 

For the '88 AirGames Championships. " 

AirGames: The sport of the future. 
Inspired by awesome games like ‘Track and Field’ and ‘Ski or Die’ to the uplifting ‘go for glory’ attitude of film soundtracks throughout the 80’s, ‘AirGames ’88’ is an anthem for the latest sport to sweep Mars. Like the films ‘Rollerball’ and ‘The Running Man’ in the not so distant future, sport has stepped up a level, and now, the Air Games League of 2088, fuses Football and Jetpacks into one, bigger, better, beautiful game. 

Massively inspired by the genius Vincent Dicola and the Rocky IV soundtrack, and my all time favourite producer, The Hitman, David Foster and the wonderful, "Winter Games".


Beckett: All the stuff 
Luca Ricardo: Guest solo guitar. 

Thanks you to Havana Chase: for the awesome "B' Logo for Beckett.

AirGames '88

China Cry. A Track that never made it on to the 'Search of 34' album. Apart from the kit, the instrument set is all from sounds i created via the Tal U NO LX plugin. You can buy my preset bank here ;)

China Cry

Synthwave & Talkbox with a backdrop of 80s Beats.
It's pretty awesome.
