I was able to see Soichi Terada (Ape Escape composer) at an electronic music festival in Belfast called AVA. I didn't expect to see him there but he was playing a great set and he blew me away. Such a talented guy and he really knew how to get the crowd going in the most fun ways. He was so full of energy and made one of those paper fortune tellers and used it as a puppet and let 'it' sing into the microphone. Sounds really dramatic but it really was one of the highlights of my life so far. The sun was shining and everything was good
I remember when I was 9 or 10. Ape Escape had only just come out on the PS1 and I had it for a birthday present. I was addicted to it, and absolutely loved the music so much. I would pause the game just to listen to the music. I like to think that I liked it before it was cool.
I grew up playing Nintendo, I remember when the PS1 and Dreamcast came out but I never had any of those systems. It blows my mind seeing how many games had DnB tracks, good ones at that
First time listening/watching this mix, and I can already tell its iconic. Similar to those early Lo-Fi mixes with vintage anime GIFs back in like 2016. The first ones to do it, kickstarting a massive genre & subculture movement. Breakcore/90s DnB resurgence is about to blow up, and the TH-cam algorithm is really pushing it. This is the first time where I've ever seen a mix within this genre coincide with the on-screen visuals so well, creating an entire immersive experience filled with ethereal nostalgia for catering to late millennials/early gen Z. Truly a contemporary work of art that immerses the senses with a nostalgia-evoking, trance-like, visual soundsape.
@@alexm.c.312 Gen Z goes back as far as '97 so it's not out of the question, and you don't have to play a game the year it came out. I was born in 2001 and some of my fondest/earliest memories are of playing PS2 in daycare. I even have friends younger than me that had the N64 as their first console. Gatekeeping aint it chief
@@rhys_king_music lmao who’s gatekeeping. I’m not saying these games or consoles are only for a certain age group I’m just saying lots of people your age most likely don’t know most of these. That’s not gatekeeping at all
as a genzer these gmes and the music suuuuuuuuuuuucks lolz our gen is best evur, call of nitecraft and rapstep is way beter jus seen on reddit the trans pack dlc is cumin out,so excitted im admin and spen 50 owhas a week on there
I would introvertedly game for hours on these consoles when I was younger. It wasn't until I got older I really got into Jungle Drum & Bass. Now listening to this while the retro game enthusiasm still burns strong is like a blissful dream. The meeting of two focuses in my life was always there just not heard by my young sleeping mind.
This is so good for the treadmill. Absolute bangers non-stop and visuals to keep me entertained. I'm an old boy now, nearly 40, and this music and games are what I was all about. Takes me right back, thank you.
39yo now myself. Played ape escape when it was first released. Still play ps1 games, play my 90's records (among others) and drive a car that's 43 years old. Love the classics and keep them current for the most part. What a fantastic slice of nostalgia and fantastic mix here. Many thanks to the uploader
Me encantó la intervensión de Sheep Raider en el 32:05, es uno de mis juegos favoritos de toda la vida Magnifica la flauta en todo el ost de Sheep Raider.
What's insane is figured out drum and bass is the music of my bones....like it understands me like I understand it....but low key I've been a gamer all my life and it's funny to go back and see moments in games where my energies were at peak because of the music either in them or you know cartoons or anime. My god all moments were either edm or drum and bass liquid or jungle. Gods socks that's a trippy mind fuck.... that being said. LONG LIVE HOSPITAL Records
This mix is dope. Love this type of music to this day. Apparently my 3 year old does too. I put this in her headphones and she drifted off to sleep! This is the way…
Woah, the first track from Ape Escape gave me intense nostalgia. I played this when I was a kid but forgot almost everything about it, just hearing the music made a bunch of memories reappear I need to replay it now, I was so small I could barely understand what was going on
As someone who first played through it this last year, Ape Escape is AMAZING. The soundtrack is incredible but it's also just a part of what makes this game so good
ape escape changed my life. my grandma made a me a custom shirt like spike and let me die my hair red and spike it. like nothing comes close to that game. it made me who i am
I love this genre of video, but man... these games are made to be in 4:3 aspect ratio on a CRT. Those TVs properly smoothed out the graphics (as opposed to upscaling them). That CRT screen also added a lot of texture such as scanlines which, on top of smoothing the pixels out, added depth. Ape Escape stretched to 16:9 is just wrong. Doesn't go well with the aesthetic of that era. If you wanna make that game footage look REALLY sexy, then record it using a CRT filter on RetroArch or something. Maybe add some kind of aesthetic border if you want the video to be in 16:9. Sorry if this comment came off as negative, but I just believe we haven't reached the heights of this kind of music/game fusion aesthetic yet, and I'm just trying to point it out. It all of course is subjective and down to personal opinion, so if this is the way you like it, then more power to you.
Yes I know what you mean. I actually love 16:9 and this footage was taken from emulators with wide screen patches/mods where possible 🤣 it may not be how it was done back in the day, but I personally much prefer 16:9 where possible. Thanks for the comment 🙏
Best music in gaming for me personally, ape escape, then sonic, and then nights into dreams, especially if your feeling down, the wonderment in the back of those dream tracks just eases my pains lol
Every song here is a banger. I am forever in love with the Ape Escape soundtrack. But the song I keep coming back for is that Sheep Raider cut, absolutely epic
I thought this was just some modern underground music producers, until I heard the Sheep Raider music. It really keeps me thinking about how modern producers take inspiration from actual real references from the past.
God ive spent years listening to Soichi Terada and seeing the community come out and support AE is fantastic. Its like ive found my people after so many years lol
I remember being alone in the morning at my friend's beach house in New Jersey in the early 2000s, and playing the Ape Escape demo. Something about that memory always sticks out in my mind as being a happy time, one of the chillest moments in my life. Now I realize all these years later that the music probably had a lot to do with it.
God ape escape is such a vibe man. I recently tried to play it on the playstation streaming platform but the input delay was so bad it was nearly impossible to play. I was so sad. Thanks for the nostalgia with legit game play.

Ape Escape soundtrack goes so hard its crazy
Yeah, that got me hooked from the very beginning of the mix. It makes for such a good opening track.
One of the only things I'd consider a masterpiece.
soichi terada is a god
what a game, what a soundtrack
Soichi Terada has a wonderful Discography outside of just Ape Escape check it out ^.^
How am I supposed to chill, study, and focus when the visuals are this dope???

That’s rad
Sounds blessed as hell. Thank you for sharing.
A sunny day in spring to early summer fits the perfect vibe for this music.
thx for sharing man
that's really nice.. thanks for saying about that.. he sounds like a great guy
The Ape Escape soundtracks have no business being so fire this many years later still.
FACTS
HELL YEAH

@@dancoulson6579 fuck that I hope ape escape music becomes cool.
FIrst game that used ALL the buttons! @@dancoulson6579
Track 3 for sheep raider - I'm literally weeping thinking about how my tastes as an adult have been formatively shaped by the games I played as a kid.
It's a great soundtrack :)
That transition into White Out is ridiculous
Something about cartoony-styled PS1 graphics... soulful
so much nostalgia for me in ape escape
Your so right. What a game
the sequels got a bit too cartoony and bright, first game was the sweet spot hardware limitations and all
Video games used to hit different.
I grew up playing Nintendo, I remember when the PS1 and Dreamcast came out but I never had any of those systems. It blows my mind seeing how many games had DnB tracks, good ones at that
Yeah it's a total trip going back and finding all these hidden bangers isn't it? Thanks for listening
90s and early 2000s has a special place in my heart, so many good games and memories.. Before social media etc.
Awesome dude love your work. My 1 1/2 old boy dance and chill to this while playing lego Duplo :D
that's super cute
amazing parent :)
Thats adorable haha
Keep him play with real toys!
That’s adorable. Good to see some parents still love their children!
Got hella homework. Thanks for the study fuel. 🎶
hope you enjoy. cheers!
The Sheep Raider track is the real hidden gem. 🔥🔥💎
Was just thinking that right now! What a tune
This is legit fucking awesome bro. i was born in 1991 and this makes me feel like im home again. Thank You Mysterious Cool Person.
heck yeah I was born 92. we're in the same boat!
I was born in 1891, still rockin, even in my casket!

Is it that more and more people comes back to this genre of music recently ?
ytb been recommending me a lot of this stuff these days
Same, btw. It's so chill, maybe we'll all die in 2023.
@@Lambdaphile i hope so
Yes there’s been a resurgence underground and appreciation for d&b
We finally remembered it 🤷♂️
Same, Im so happy to see this style of EDM coming back
I felt like I got hit by a wave when that Ape Escape music started
i can honestly say: same
JAMI (Track 3) [Sheep Raider, PS1]. Dude, I grew up playing this game. This track gave me goosebumps. This is fire!

Now listening to this while the retro game enthusiasm still burns strong is like a blissful dream. The meeting of two focuses in my life was always there just not heard by my young sleeping mind.
I liked this video within 5 seconds
Pizza Hotline is making great 90's ps1 vibe subconscious flow tracks. I sleep to these. Takes away my anxiety.
I used to sleep to LTJ Bukem mixes a lot
Amazing to read this. Thanks!
@@T_D_B_ “LTJ Bukem, DRS - Constellation” has me feeling like I’m floating before I fall asleep 😴💤🐬
it helps me space out but concentrate at the same time 😂 haha
Ape escape 1 and it's ost holds a special place in my heart and soul
To me, "L E V E L S E L E C T" is the best album of 2022. Regardless of music genre.
more great stuff my dude! keep it up. wrapping Christmas presents to this right now lol
Nice one pappa P! Stoked to know you like this vibe 💙
Is someone going to get a game? ;-)

WTF THE FIRST SONG IS SO GOOD
This gotta be a good mix.

Ape escape will always be one of my favorite games and the soundtrack is so iconic
Just came to say Level Select album is dope. made by Pizza Hotline themselves. Listen to it! DO IT!
10:29 The Offing [Sega Marine Fishing, Dreamcast] is soooooo goood. I always end up checking to see what it's from when I hear it lol
I bought a ps2 and a dream cast just for Tokyo xtreme racer, thank you for showing it. same cars I drive as well
Ape Escape is the reason I love drum and bass
This mix is dope. Love this type of music to this day.
Apparently my 3 year old does too. I put this in her headphones and she drifted off to sleep!
This is the way…
I love that this music still can vibe with anyone and that even kids these days still love it makes me feel more love for this genre
Woah, the first track from Ape Escape gave me intense nostalgia. I played this when I was a kid but forgot almost everything about it, just hearing the music made a bunch of memories reappear
I need to replay it now, I was so small I could barely understand what was going on
nobody cares about your nostalgia
As someone who first played through it this last year, Ape Escape is AMAZING. The soundtrack is incredible but it's also just a part of what makes this game so good
Bro knows the exact location in the brain that needs to be itched. Fantastic video/mix
ape escape changed my life. my grandma made a me a custom shirt like spike and let me die my hair red and spike it. like nothing comes close to that game. it made me who i am
Wow, what a grandma!
whoever you are, thank you for this
Aquanor and both Extreme G soundtracks have so many bangers. Perfect for racing games!
We were really spoiled in the 90s weren’t we 🙌

That’s cool. To each their own.
this is so good, sounds so fresh but also brings me right back to the childhood weekends spent playing n64 ❤
I love this but at the same time it’s making me sad. Nostalgia hitting hard
Same
Yeah agree, the good old days... Sigh
That Ridge Racer footage is perfect!
ultra chill ありがと 💜💜💜
Played PSO with you on the Dreamcast a few years back! Happy to see you doing so well with these killer mixes. Subbed!
Nice to see you Hobby! Thanks for dropping in 🍕🌹
When I first played Ape Escape I was blown away by the soundtrack. It's partially way this style of music is something I love listening to even today.
the fact that you got footage from A1's Snowboarding game is crazy... i feel so old
i put this sht on and immediately fell asleep idk why its just too chill
Best mix of this music I can find online - brilliant stuff
Ape Escape Time Station was literally my introduction to Drum n Bass and I didn't even notice
Watching this later, saving it for now.
Great era for this music
Just got my tapes from bandcamp! Sounds great lads job well done!
Best music in gaming for me personally, ape escape, then sonic, and then nights into dreams, especially if your feeling down, the wonderment in the back of those dream tracks just eases my pains lol
ape escape and metal gear solid were the first games ever that i've seen on the ps1, back in those days it was really MAGICAL, great memories
Bro Ape Escape looks so lit and the slight music change is like whoa!
So glad you've made these longer compilative mixes. Looking forward to anything else you but out, wether it be DnB/Jungly or more ambient/Vaporwavy
That's awesome thanks. Yeah people seem to enjoy it so hopefully a disc 2 is coming
Yeah. You did it. Just ordered all four cassettes. Keep it going. Cheers@@pizzahotline_
the snowboarding gameplay and soundtrack go together so well! Insane!!
Reunion from Winback Covert Operations would be a great addition to volume 2
You were my best discovery of 2022 in regards to music. Incredible work here!
amazing to read that, thanks!
I may not ever get to go back to being a kid again but these mixes do a damn good job of helping me recapture that feeling
Though I love the new tech and games, im gonna miss this kind of vibe...
Love this mix so damn much, especially mixed with the visuals.
thanks for the mix! pizza hotline forever!
any time, thanks for dropping in :)
Every song here is a banger. I am forever in love with the Ape Escape soundtrack. But the song I keep coming back for is that Sheep Raider cut, absolutely epic
Tokyo Highway Challenge for the Dreamcast looks fricken amazing 😎
just want to say tokyo xtreme racer is a wonderful touch for this great compilation
32:05 JAMI (Track 3) [Sheep Raider, PS1] - Track gets me hyped!
Nothing but love and melancholy in this comment section, I love it.
Soichi Terada was so deep in his bag i wish i could have been in the studio when he made this music
Perfect selection of music! I absolutely adore this!!!🤩✨
Thanks so much 💙🤘
i like this comment, only cuz you winked with the left eye. But those ears look unhealthy being part of your hair. THE ERROR IN THE DETAILS.
38:17 syncs perfectly
I thought this was just some modern underground music producers, until I heard the Sheep Raider music. It really keeps me thinking about how modern producers take inspiration from actual real references from the past.
cannot believe the transition into white out. Insane
veeeeeeeeeeerrrryyyy nicely curated & presented
Thanks a lot
I love your mixes, they are magical and have a comforting, ethereal sense of space
love this so muchhhh i'm high on coffee and this jungle characteristic type of beat makes me concentrate.deep.
The golden age of gaming is behind us, it died in the early 2010's
32:05 ooof that transition was smoother than Bob Burnquist
this makes waiting for your next release a bit easier
God ive spent years listening to Soichi Terada and seeing the community come out and support AE is fantastic. Its like ive found my people after so many years lol
最高にかっこいい
音楽もコンセプトも大好き

i would imagine having a good friend and being able to chill in a beach house helped a lot too!?
I love that these comps are a thing
This is my favorite game of all time thank you for this
No lie Ape Escape was kinda my main introduction to DNB back then
Sheep Raider OST has no business going this hard
I think you have the best playlists for studying and focusing, i am amazed with you music
Yooooo I was just thinking about that fishing game I loved it had it on ps2
Sega marine fishing, this footage is from a Dreamcast 🌀
God ape escape is such a vibe man. I recently tried to play it on the playstation streaming platform but the input delay was so bad it was nearly impossible to play. I was so sad. Thanks for the nostalgia with legit game play.
all i need in my life is Pizza Hotline for these incredible mixes
i knew someone was going to put the Sega Marine Fishing Drum n Bass. its so good.
This is beautiful.
Incredible! Love working to these.
Me too, and I'm sure there are other workers here as well. Welcome to the club.
Thank you for this providing such a cool and niche mix. Love the visuals!
Glad you enjoy it!
Any time. More to come 💙
Absolutely loved ape escape as a kid, banger opener
that sheep looked so frustrating in the wile e. coyote game, lol
