A vinyl LP featuring drum n bass remixes of Old School RuneScape (OSRS) songs has been released, known as ‘Old School Runebreaks’.
London producer Pizza Hotline, known for making video game-flavoured drum n bass and jungle remixes, has remixed 11 tracks from the RuneScape OST for an-hour long album of DnB.
Pre-orders are now open for a Limited Edition double vinyl LP set, available via the Laced Records store and the Official RuneScape Merch Store.
The set, priced at £36, comes with blue galaxy-effect heavyweight discs, in a gatefold sleeve. Artwork is by Jagex collaborator Matthew Leiher aka Uber.
The Old School Runebreaks album is also now available on major music streaming platforms, and purchasing the vinyl via Laced Records unlocks 320kbps MP3 digital downloads.
According to a press release: “’Garden’ and other tracks enjoy more traditional DnB remixes, while the infamous ‘Sea Shanty 2’ is reimagined as a minimal DnB banger. ‘Autumn Voyage’ gets a slower breaks remix, while Pizza Hotline took inspiration from Aphex Twin for their adaptation of ‘Shine’.
Familiar sound effects have been used too, such as the original ‘Urgh!’ death sound before the drop of ‘Background’.
The producer used, among other software and hardware, a Roland JV-1080 to stay faithful to the classic era of DnB, and several tracks feature a reverb based on the PS1’s original built-in effects.
OSRS is one of the longest-running MMOs, and has had some esports activities in the past, such as the Deadman Invitational.
