Hydrocity

by halc

supported by

Deidre House This type of dubstep-ish electronica isn't normally my cup of tea, but all the tracks are really well-crafted and make tasteful and effective use of various "wub wub"s and video game samples. Favorite track: Avoid Direct Sunlight.

Zen Frazier halc really started to come into his own with this album. Good stuff! Favorite track: Hydrocity.

Daniel Schenkenfelder Very chill, but really fun to listen to. Favorite track: Retro Machines (feat. Level 99).

about

Hydrocity is the result of my first few months of experimenting with Native Instruments KOMPLETE. Inspired by such visionary minds as Joshua Morse, P Villa and Savant, this album has everything from chiptune-influenced electro and dubstep to ambient beats, FM funk and jazz fusion, delightfully blended and compiled into a 40-minute package. The album also features an arrangement of the ever-popular 'Hydrocity Zone' music from Sonic the Hedgehog 3, and guest appearances by fellow OC ReMix legends Level 99 and WillRock. This is my most concentrated and professional work to date, and I hope you all enjoy it! <3

SPECIAL THANKS TO
Will Harby (WillRock), Stevo Bortz (Level 99), Wes McDonald, Mike Vu, Benjamin Briggs, Chris Davidson (Dj CUTMAN!), my fiancée Emily, Kyle Crouse, the ocremix.org staff and community, all of my faithful facebook/twitter followers and otherwise fans.
I FUCKING LOVE YOU

I'm just a big music nerd and Katana ZERO fan, I've never played this game but I might now that I've heard this awesome soundtrack! This is some really great chiptune and the recurring leitmotif is just so good! The mix-up of having a fully orchestral song is so nice and it's so pretty too, it hits me in a place so close to home! Second favorite track:Farewell, Traveller. Yvonne
