The very first melodies I ever hummed were Marble Zone and Green Hill Zone, and since then Sonic music has played an integral role in shaping my musical identity. In order to reimagine the higher energy sound of the originals into a more chill style, I drew inspiration from Jamiroquai, Sade, Yuzo Koshiro, Michael Jackson, West Coast hip-hop/G-Funk, bossa nova, new jack swing, 80s/90s RnB, soul, city pop, acid & smooth jazz, disco & classic house, and 90s dance. These diverse influences coalesced into an overall sound throughout the album that could be described as โ€œHiFi Vapor.โ€ Sonic & Chill has truly been a passion project and it brings me great joy to present what is my tribute to the legacy of Sonic music and its composers.

Vinyl coming in 2024. Pre-order announcements very soon! Hold tight! :D

    Everybody thank you for all the love ๐Ÿ™ gotta go smooth ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž
  • @jello5508
    You.. You get it completely. The glistening clear water graphics, the minimal but vibrant plants, the squeaky clean architecture and a bright blue sky in the back... That's what heaven is for me, early 2000's tropical videogame landscapes lol
  • @GopherThegreat
    one of those rare recommended YouTube videos that knows exactly what I need
  • Not only is this faithful to original melodies from the Sonic games, it also masterfully interpolates the rhythms, instruments, and other sounds from '90s hip-hop, dance, and R&B, but also modern vaporwave. As a connoisseur of music from the '90s, I approve of this playlist a lot. Like... Oil Ocean Zone is so reminiscent of G-funk lowrider music that I thought it was an actual Snoop Dogg song for a second.
  • @LvlGenesis
    Sonic and Vaporwave are an amazing match. Would absolutely love to see more like this in the future!
  • @dunes6769
    I now listen to this on a daily basis, when I'm drawing, when I'm reading, when I'm going to sleep. You stranger, understand my soul with this.
  • @Absolynth
    oil ocean remix like "aww shit, here we go again"
  • @codycalhoun1873
    levitated out of my chair for 43 minutes straight. thank u
  • @saavymadeit
    The level of comfort nostalgia endorphins that released seeing this thumbnail was insane
  • Finally some vaporwave with some production value instead of just taking a song and making it 5% slower. Pls make Volume 2!
  • @JustD1zz
    Clicked on out of curiosity, stayed because i can't stop moving my shoulders and doing the duck lip face while grooving.
  • @redhotsonic
    I'll be driving a bit this weekend... So this is my road trip sorted ๐Ÿ‘
  • @PortalGorgon
    Finally... What I feel Sonic would listen to on a peaceful evening.
  • Early 2000โ€™s Sonic visuals are the perfect transition from the Vaporwave era to the Frutiger Aero era ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿฌ
  • @edleshed
    Green Hill Zone seriously goes so hard, so good โค
