The link between electronic music and video gaming is an extremely strong one. Beyond the fact that game soundtracks have traditionally been lo-fi electronic compositions that have inspired the likes of Martin Garrix , the medium has also often featured cutting-edge sound design, evidenced in recent blockbusters like Doom . Lovers of video game soundtracks can rejoice, as streaming leader Spotify has just launched a special portal that caters to gamers in a big way.
Titled Spotify Gamers , the new portal features a wealth of gaming-themed playlists, as well as additional curated playlists from celebrity gamers like professional StarCraft player Day[9] , plus a huge range of soundtracks that traverses 8-bit classics, as well as new titles like No Man’s Sky .
“Whether you’re jumping down tubes as an Italian plumber, battling hordes of evil enemies, or playing Barcelona at the Camp Nou, we got you covered with the perfect soundtrack,” Spotify joyously declared upon the portal’s launch.
Check out the new portal over at Spotify Gamers , and watch the aforementioned Martin Garrix talking about his love of gaming below.
