To be honest I can thank a lot to Jazz Jackrabbit 2. It wasn’t just a game I enjoyed playing for many years, but it also introduced me to Impulse Tracker, and had a huge impact on my musical taste. Namely, both the first and the second game had a soundtrack that took inspiration from the 80’s synthesizer sound, just like the synthwave genre I enjoy producing nowadays.
‘Dark Groove’ was an ideal choice for me, because I had a vision about how I’d turn it into a slightly more danceable synthwave song, while still keeping intact and recogniseable most of the elements that made the original tune great.
Here kitty, kitty! The synthwave genius returns with a whole new batch of hooky, metal-edged songs that are more fun than a ball of yarn. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 11, 2022
