Racing Game Jazz Fusion (& Funk)
Музыка
a dive into the world of jazz fusion in racing games, a fruitful marriage if there has ever been one! Featuring Outrun, Ridge Racer, Gran Turismo, Mario Kart, Choro Q and many, many more!
This began as a more all-purpose video game jazz fusion playlist, but with jazz fusion being such a huge presence in 80s-90s Japanese games, it felt like pairing things down to a racing games only tracklist could give the project a bit more focus. Feel free to suggest other tracks you think that fit the vibe, but please don't call me names!
This ended up being a larger project that i expected because I (foolishly) decided putting together two hours of b-roll together for this video on my own would not be a lot of work. It was!
Please like, comment and subscribe if you enjoy these mixes!
Also, I'm aware the Crazy Taxi footage is like a slideshow. I don't know why it turned out like that but this video took 11 hours to render so I think I'm just gonna say it was an Aesthetic Decision. Enjoy.

i always like to call this type of jazz fusion "Circuit Jazz" because of how much it really does coincide with motorsport. love the title to this video and love the playlist

This is a mix that I keep coming back to. It's very upbeat, it has great variation, and it's shown me several racing games that I would have never tried otherwise. Excellent work.

That last section of Calm in the RR7 track is so clean. Such a sick change up

Auto modellista has a bouquet of tunes worthy of a check, just like racing lagoon. You could set the entire rr4 album in between on shuffle here and no one would differ lmao. Great mix.. a superb start with go go sega BTW 🔥🎉✨

The songs are from racing games, but you can do whatever you want while listening to them!
I've come back to this mix like 5 times now. Excellent mix of chill, eccentric, and bangin' tunes that are so often overlooked and underappreciated in these games while one is perusing menus, customizing cars in their virtual garages, or most obviously, driving like a lunatic. Awesome stuff. Favorite tracks: 8:47 Turning Point (Arrange Version) - So chill, great tune. Probably going to chart this one out if there isn't already one available 28:54 Beachside - Wild changes and that MELODY, in a cute little chibi racer RPG?? 59:46 Colorado - Hilarious. The Mickey's Speedway USA OST did *not* have to go this hard, but I'm so glad it did 1:30:43 Opaque Air - Dat bass. In all the tracks really, but even more so in this one. Also the string shouts and unison runs, sick.

This whole video was me trying not to put 5 choro q songs in it so im glad the one i chose still resonated! appreciate the kind words. the enthusia and auto modellista tracks are really good, shame i don't think either of those games are supposed to be particularly great. really was a time when they would throw a lot of money and effort into non-franchise racing games.
Splendid

I thought about including Number One, but I feel like the sort of jazz funk house stuff Richard Jacques was doing at this time at least in that game and Metropolis Street Racer might better be saved for its own mix down the line.

@@Wuss2ns I'm also a little clueless when it comes to genres. I used the Cyanite AI to categorize the songs within my playlist, so of course it wasn't accurate. Another suggestion that I have is the Drift City soundtrack. It contains a very SEGA sound at least, and a few songs do fall in the categories of jazz fusion and funk.

There's a slight transparency to it, so the pixels do subtly change color - shouldn't burn in. Also it does start to wiggle and change colors occasionally starting close to 1:14:00 and thereafter.
