Beloved RuneScape tunes given Drum n Bass makeover with Old School Runebreaks
— Pre-orders open for double LP vinyl set
— Limited Edition available via Laced Records and Official RuneScape Merch Store
— Music by video game DnB producer Pizza Hotline
— Album now streaming via Spotify, Apple Music & more
London, 3rd September 2024 – Old School RuneScape players know their IFB from their IDB. That’s why beloved RuneScape tunes have been remixed by London producer Pizza Hotline, known for making video game-flavoured Drum n Bass and Jungle with a nostalgic feeling.
Pre-orders are now open for a Limited Edition double vinyl set, available via the Laced Records store (www.lacedrecords.com) and the Official RuneScape Merch Store (runescape.backstreetmerch.com). The set features 11 blissed-out tracks on blue galaxy-effect heavyweight discs, all housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve. Artwork is by Jagex collaborator Matthew Leiher aka Uber.
The album is also now available on major music streaming platforms (lnk.to/rs-runebreaks) and purchasing the vinyl via Laced Records unlocks 320kbps MP3 digital downloads.
“Garden” and other tracks enjoy more traditional DnB remixes, while the infamous “Sea Shanty 2” is reimagined as a minimal DnB banger. “Autumn Voyage” gets a slower breaks remix, while Pizza Hotline took inspiration from Aphex Twin for their atmospheric adaptation of “Shine”. Fans will lap up the use of familiar sound effects in fun places, such as the original ‘Urgh!’ death sound before the drop of “Background”.
The producer used, among other software and hardware, a Roland JV-1080 to stay faithful to the classic era of DnB; and several tracks feature a reverb based on the PS1’s original built-in effects.
One of the world’s most popular MMORPGs, Old School RuneScape unites the intricate mechanics of modern MMOs with nostalgic gameplay reminiscent of early role-playing games. It’s the only MMORPG in the world that is truly shaped by its players with developers releasing new, regular content that has been voted for by the fans!
