Nintendo 64’s fan favourite Diddy Kong Racing gets an electronic tribute album: Future Dance Land, from Materia collective.
Game music label Materia Collective have announced Future Dance Land: An Electronic Tribute to Diddy Kong Racing, a bumpin’ journey behind the wheel of the classic Nintendo 64 racer just in time for the 20th anniversary of the game’s release.
Diddy Kong Racing fans may still be sour over that cancelled sequel, but Future Dance Land will help you look back on your fond memories, with EDM remixes of all world and boss themes across 20 tracks.
“Diddy Kong Racing contains some of my all-time favorite game music,” notes album producer and arranger Nicholas Arden Day (aka Nikolyst). “I felt it was only fitting to combine these catchy tunes with EDM. Once I discovered the 20th anniversary of Diddy Kong Racing was approaching, the idea for this album was born.”
