Rhythm And Pixels Video Game Music Podcast

We're all danced out, so it's time to hit the lounge. We focus on another musical sub-genre of sorts, the chilled-out jazzy lounge music. It gets a little funky, it gets a little "elevator", but it's all so good.

Last night a DJ saved my life with a 1-up! Our next two episodes will "club music" focused, with this episode being dance music. We're talking four-to-the-floor beats, massive sub-woofers, and all the glow-sticks you can eat! We also talk about dancing at weddings (which we love to do) and fall in love with Yuzo Koshiro all over again.

This week on the show we focus on something familiar. We want Zelda games, but don't want Zelda games, you know what I mean? These are games similar to the classic "Link To The Past" or "Link's Awakening" styles, but not featuring our iconic hero. Enjoy this week's adventure games that are not Zelda!

This week's topic is listener suggested, because "sad robots" sounds cool. Robots have such a hard time in video games. Often they're tortured, and forced to fight their family, even their own creators.

Get together a group of your closest friends, put on your bright-colored spandex suits, and IT'S SUPER SENTAI TIME! We explore the mega-pumped-up music of the classic Japanese kids show that inspired the American after-school kid's shows. Well, we actually go all over the place on this one, but all the tracks are excellent guaranteed!

How do we find such great video game tracks? Is it the luck of the draw? Is it lady-luck? I think it's Pernell's suave and sexy voice that calls out to great music like a siren song.

Rob and Pernell throw out their comfortable themed podcast format, and dive into the dangerous world of zero-theme for a second time. But this time, it's personal.

Rob and Pernell mine the depths of the Sega Saturn and come out with some solid gold hits! You'll hear some funky bass-lines, wicked drum-fills, and some on-the-spot lyrics! Rhythm and Pixels are blasting off agaaiiiiinnnn!!!!

Get those reflexes ready, welcome to Bullet-Hell's Kitchen! This week we dig into the soaring, energetic, and often manic tunes of arcade shoot'em-ups! We look at the old and new, horizontal and vertical, and the cute and insane! We also create a shooter based on Pernell, and Rob becomes an old man battling against impossible odds.

You thought you could have it all. You bet it all, went all in. AND NOW YOU'RE BUSTED! This week on the show, it's music themes from games where you are flat broke! Or just flattened, or something like that. Rob had a really hard time with this one haha! Enjoy the show!

DO DOD DOODDOODODODO DAYTONAAAA!!!! Boy do we have a great show for you this week! We take a look at music composed for Sega arcade games throughout the years. We're talking all things Virtua and Golden Axey!

Ah February, a time for romance and freezing your butt-off. This week on the show, Rob plays beautiful romantic songs from the Super Nintendo/Famicom. And on the other side of things, Pernell plays tragic and sad tracks to bring us all back to reality

Rob and Pernell welcome you to podcast World 7 with the richest of video game tracks! We spared no expense in selecting the finest tunes related to money and luxury. Enjoy!

We got another great topic this week from one of our fantastic listeners! Well, we expanded on it a little, because there were some tracks we really wanted to play on the show :) Our focus is on music outside of the action and drama, and instead on times where you're encouraged to take a moment for yourself.

Clear the fog of war and flank the enemy! Click the buttons as fast as you can and prepare for war! This week's listener-suggested topic is RTS games! Unfortunately Rob and Pernell have little experience in the genre, but there is some musical gold!

Rob and Pernell are back together in the studio, and ready to rock this podcast! This week's topic is "Memories", meaning anything that triggers specific memories for us, personal or gaming related. So this one gets a little heavy on the nostalgia. Pernell gets nostalgic for the old east coast Bemani scene, and Rob gets nostalgic for old audio formats.

Oh no! Pernell is at MAGFest this week and can't record! BUT WAIT! DON'T WORRY! Rob has got your back with a super-hot-chiptune-mixtape! New jams, old favorites, and silly scratches all mixed up together for your enjoyment this week :)

Happy new year everyone! Thanks for coming back for another great year of video game music. It means a great deal to us that you're still listening and enjoying the show! This week we do another composer focus, this time on one of Konami's greats, Mihciru Yamane! Enjoy!

Happy holidays everyone! Your podcast-friends here at Rhythm and Pixels celebrate the only way they know how, with great video game music! There's surprises, presents, and Rob's elf application to the North Pole. It's a podcast miracle!

This episode is composer-focused, we only play tracks originally composed by Namco alumni Junko Ozawa. Her work ranges from Namco arcade classics like Rolling Thunder and PacMania, all the way to Klonoa for the Playstation. There's old and new classics to be found in this episode, so grab your headphones and get into it!
