B1 Artemis - Emerald (Alpha Tracks Remix)

Sickwaves, Pt. 1

Sonic Cliff

The release in 1995 of wipE'out'', a lightning-fast, razor-sharp, futuristic racing game that helped to launch the PlayStation in Europe and North America, changed video games industry. Equally striking was the game’s original music, which came from Welsh musician Tim Wright, aka CoLD SToRAGE, mixing the accelerated beats of drum & bass with the pure synth rush of trance to make music that sounded as breathlessly exciting as playing the game felt.

The second instalment of the advanced singles from wipE'out'' - The Zero Gravity Soundtrack comes in the form of a 4-track package containing two original songs by CoLD SToRAGE –the iconic 'Canada' and the trance based 'Trancevaal'– plus two additional remixes by the French producer @simocell and the British IDM master @jamesshinra.

General Blurb:

Back in the 1990s video games were still largely seen as nerdy: fun, sure, but basically a guilty pleasure that you’d soon grow out of. The release in 1995 of wipE'out'', a lightning-fast, razor-sharp, futuristic racing game that helped to launch the PlayStation in Europe and North America, changed all that. This was a game that looked and sounded both adult and cool, the kind of game you would put on display in your living room, rather than hide away under your bed. Key to this was the fact that wipE'out'' borrowed unashamedly from the clubbing experience and electronic music, in a way that put it at the heart of progressive mid 90s culture. It soon became a phenomenon.

wipE'out'' looked sensational, with Sheffield agency The Designers Republic - known for their work with Warp - creating the visuals, packaging and manual for the game, drawing heavily on the bright colours and excitable geometric shapes of the rave and club flyers of the early 90s.

wipE'out'' also sounded like a new rave dream. The European version of the game included music from The Chemical Brothers, Leftfield and Orbital, the kind of fashionable game syncs that were almost unheard of at the time. Equally striking was the game’s original music, which came from Welsh musician Tim Wright, aka @coldstorage, by this point already a veteran in the video games world, having worked on the music for Amiga titles such as Lemmings and Shadow of the Beast 2. His music for wipE'out'' was, if anything, even more extreme than the big-name syncs, mixing the accelerated beats of drum & bass with the pure synth rush of trance to make music that sounded as breathlessly exciting as playing the game felt.

These tracks were burned into the brains of millions of gamers; the soundtrack to a generation of late-night anti-gravity racing, as the sun gingerly rose beyond the curtains. But they haven’t, perhaps, quite got the respect they deserve, something that this release will address. In 2023, video game music is finally getting its dues; here, remastered and repackaged –and also remixed by cutting edge producers such as Kode9, μ-Ziq, Brainwaltzera, Simo Cell, Wordcolour, James Shinra, Surgeons Girl and Dattassette– are some of the most important, thrilling, innovative and most fun songs ever committed to game release.

Omni [Part 2]

Golly

r+r debut

This mixtape is a journey, a love letter to the past, and a reflection of the future. It was born from the dust of forgotten crates, where tracks from the 90s and early 2000s lay in wait – patient, timeless, ready to be rediscovered. Every beat, every melody holds a story, a memory of a time when music moved us with its raw, unfiltered power: body, mind, and soul.  

Call it Plus Plus. Call it progression. Call it change. Call it openness. This set is a celebration of versatility, a homage to the beauty that emerges when worlds collide, eras blend, and genres dissolve into one another.

MONITOR

throwaway


So many nights I’ve been trapped here.
Bluud in my tearz, I can’t see clear.
So much bluud in my mouth, I can taste my own fear.
Forever haunting yuu, I could make yuu disappear. x2

All this shit so basic.
Can’t deny I hate it.
 words and the lies from yuur lips, I can taste it.

Fucked up, laid out on the pavement.
All of my fears adjacent.
I try and i try, I get high, I get wasted.

If you were a drug I’d do you a hundred times over, cause of you I’m never sober.

i can taste my own fear ´ཀ` [prod.@fallenangelscarz]
