Hi all,
I've been loving some of Yuzo Koshiro more Hiphop/Downtempo influenced tracks:

Misty Blue - Catch The Step

Streets of Rage - The Street of Rage
https://youtu.be/f10CtaCoeVI?list=PLEAD8D2B6A61E9544

Can you recommend to me anything with a similar vibe from the classic Megadrive/Arcade time period?

Thanks.

Obviously I'd recommend more Yuzo Koshiro stuff, like Eye of the Beholder for the Sega CD. Yuzo Koshiro also has albums of unreleased stuff that sound hip-hop-esque, like on this album for an unreleased game called "The Stickman is Back": http://vgmdb.net/album/1818

There's also ToeJam & Earl and the music in Sonic 3 on the Genesis for more "funk" type stuff.

For something that's newer, Sonic Adventure 2 has those rap songs that people either love or hate:

Street Fighter III: Third Strike comes to mind.

I hope you enjoy some of these!

The funky:

Sonic Spinball: Toxic Caves (Howard Drossin)

Wolfchild: Stage 2: Jungle (Martin Iveson, Matt Furniss)

Pulseman: File Systems (Junichi Masuda)

Sonic 3D Blast: Volcano Valley Act 2 (Tatsuyuki Maeda... I think)

EDIT: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters: Sisyphus' Stage (Miki Higashino)


The club-y:

Coach K Basketball: Title Theme (Jeff van Dyck)

Contra: Hard Corps: The Hard Corps Blues (Hiroshi Kobayashi)

X-Men 2: Clone Wars: Outside Avalon (Nu*Romantic Productions)

Pulseman: Stereo Protect (Junichi Masuda)

You guys are great! I'm listening to some of these now & they are perfect. I'll update you with my faves once I get through them
