Rhythm Encounter 119 – RPG Dance Party!

Rhythm Encounter 119 RPG Electronic and Dance Music

“All this energy’s got us inspired now/We couldn’t stop it, just set it free and DANCE!”

That’s right! Today we’re taking some advice from Persona 4: Dancing All Night and getting our dance on. Spin-off dancing games aside, danceable and electronic beats have permeated RPG soundtracks for a long time, whether that’s special arrangement albums or soundtracks incorporating a more modern sound to high praise. We have a good representation of that trend in our setlist today, so join our panel of makeshift DJs as we attempt to bring the house down and spread some of that infectious energy. Maybe we’ll even discuss headphone protagonists and their musical powers.

Note: In the episode, we initially mentioned “Obsession” as appearing in .hack//INFECTION, but the song was composed for the .hack//SIGN anime before also appearing in the .hack//Link game.

Featuring: Hilary Andreff, Audra Bowling, Mario Garcia, Steph Sybydlo; Edited by Jono Logan & Mike Salbato
