The Track:
Inspired by retro, PS1 soundtracks, this track masterfully combines blissful melodies and synths with strong, broken percussion.

The artist became fascinated with the unpolished sounds of these classic soundtracks, flipping samples in his works, creating a nostalgic yet futuristic end product.
