CYBERPUNK 2077 – INSPIRATION on MODERN ELECTRONIC MUSIC
Long even before CYBERPUNK 2077 game was released we all been noticing major shift in trends of electronic dance music. From uptempo, upbeat festival-type music to more darker, industrial and futuristic style of EDM. Styles like Industrial techno, future garage, uk garage, neurofunk, and dark electro became more dominant on major music platforms, as general EDM fan divorced their attention from Big Room House and Festival Trap tracks. This global trend was influenced by current global situation (you know what I am talking about here), and also general trend in fashion, movies and gaming industry, leaning more towards futuristic and sci fi themes and styles.
Even before this trend in music became obvious, artists like Gesaffelstein, Lorn, Mark Holiday, Owl Vision, Perturbator, Magnus Deus, and many more already releasing this type of music into the web. And of course we all remember very influential original Matrix soundtrack. But as this style shifted global vision of modern music, we will be hearing much more of this midtempo, dark, industrial, hard synth + electronic rock driven sound in the future.
However, it is still unclear to me, why in the original soundtrack albums released we hearing a lot of pop and hip-hop tracks. I mean I get it, major gaming title means major artists on the soundtrack. But in the spirit of CYBERPUNK I personally wanted to hear more greedy, as well as chill, but still industrial and techno music. We really like what artists like NERO, Hyper, Trendsetter, Vector Seven, Tokyo Rose, Ghost in the Shell, SWARM, Cyber Punk, Perturbator, Celldweller, Owl Vision, Daniel Deluxe, Carpenter Brut, Lorn, Reez, Mark Holiday, and Danger are doing.
But, I am still optimistic, as NEWS and rumors about CYBERPUNK 2077 upcoming MOVIE starts spreading! Maybe, just maybe, movie producers will be more attentive to music trends in picking soundtrack for upcoming movie project. I mean it would be nice gulp of fresh air if they will pick upcoming and rising artists instead of multi-million-fan artists. Just because those up and coming artists tend to create more cutting edge sound. And cutting edge sound is what we really need in CYBERPUNK.
