Pizza Hotline‘s 2022 album ‘Level Select‘ quickly gained a cult status online, drawing influence from drum’n’bass music featured in 90s and 2000s videogame soundtracks – N64, PS1, PS2, Sega Saturn, Dreamcast.
Featured in SEGA Powered Magazine, his album is a cinematic soundscape that gives new life to a beloved genre, with a heavy loving dose of 1990s/2000s-era videogame music influences – all fresh but with a subtle nostalgia.
