Japanese Trap
Added 2020-10-19 16:04:30 +0000 UTCWhen the folks behind PlayQuest approached me about potentially doing some music for their new season, they made sure that I knew I had a lot of freedom to explore Asian themes at my own discretion, though they made clear that the theme song ought to be some sort of "fusion." At first, I figured I'd do some Japanese-inspired rock and roll, but they floated the idea of hip-hop to me, and I was instantly sold. I bring you Japanese Trap.
This track features some of my favorite tropes from instrumental hip-hop: 808s, "trap horns," scratching, synth risers, and syncopated hi-hats. Depending on the context used, this could be perfect for either a goofy battle ("Ooh, nat 1 on your encounter check? Looks like some ninjas are about to kick your ass.") or a truly climactic moment ("It's all led up to this: the oni charges at you with his glaive.") In either case, this is EXCITING and LOUD music. Use it as such!
