[check the title of the post you're reading right now]

Specifically someone who can/or specializes/ is interested in happy hardcore/house music/ acid house/general rave music/rhythm game soundtracks coming out of the late 80s-90s era of the music subgenres of that type. Remember though, this soundtrack will likely contain work from more than just one artist

and, if I can settle with a song I'm happy enough to fit into the game; then that would include some of my work within that soundtrack too.


I have an email you are completely free to contact me at if you are interested in this post for being a composer of some sort for my game. I welcome any additional questions of curiosity that may exist in mind.

making music takes time and effort, try free music libraries until you can afford to buy licenses from existing works

yes, of course. i mean. I've been making music for years now and it takes a lot of energy to put yourself into doing. It can be a bit easier to produce sfx than it is to produce musical tracks. but, I simply want to look into collaboration with someone over developing more of the soundtrack... hence why I made a post here, as i've contemplated for the past few months on whether or not it was really something I should do yet. (hopefully this does not come off rude in how i word my reply here or anything)

I don't take offense, I'm not as soft-skinned as most. I believe it's good to be critical and realistic. I suggest working on the gameplay itself with some sample music or something you've thrown together. once you have effectively a demo or an alpha, then I'm sure people would be interested. you have to remember that the internet is full of broken promises and games that never go anywhere - best of luck to you

That's a good idea I think! I did that recently and it helped my mind expand a bit on how I want to do this games soundtrack. Thank you for the wishes of luck!! I think why not wish you the best of them too, whatever that may be!!!

I may be able to help. Are you looking for full tracks, or just loops to go along with gameplay? I mostly do tech house and psytrance, but can do other EDM genres too. Have a look at my stuff and let me know if it's the sort of thing you'd be interested in.  https://soundcloud.com/jack-darling-385110263

Honestly? I think arranging just a singular song at the moment would be perfect, easy and good way to start out on developing the soundtrack that way too. Its been a couple days and I've come to the conclusion to make the soundtrack a project between various music producers/composers as it seems to very much feel fitting for the overall vibe and aura of the game.

With what I've heard of your music right now, I think the way you compose could be very potentially interesting and fun for a song being made for the soundtrack. 

Have you ever found yourself fiddling around with oldschool music sound sample kits just for the fun of it? I think at least some of the music for the game is definitely going to be that sort of stuff (of course, while avoiding to sample things that could get anyone in legal trouble). I'm having a lot of interesting and cool ideas now.

I've done a bit of sampling. There's a limited amount you can legally do without buying licenses though. Personally I think it would be best to follow the overall vibe of the track you're looking to recreate, but avoid sampling it. It would be unique to your game then too. I think we'd need to know more about the game before creating a soundtrack for it. If it's an 80s style game, then we could use old analogue synths to get it sounding authentic.
