Hʏᴘᴇʀᴋᴀʀᴛ Rᴀᴄᴇʀ by Shady Monk
DIGITAL DOWNLOAD INCLUDES 2 BONUS TRACKS!
____________________________________________
HyperKart Racer is a passion project; a concept album that began (officially) directly after MAGFest 2018, but much of the material that the album was built on was created even before that. The concept was quite simple really, as I had been told countless times that I needed to compose music for video games, I decided my next project would be to score a hypothetical racing game, featuring the Shady Monk character along with all of the albums featured guests as 'playable characters'. I approached GAXEL with the project, who was exceedingly receptive, generous, and helpful every step of the way. I couldn't have hoped for a greater roster of collaborators to include on this release. It was a truly life altering experience. I'm eternally grateful to everyone who aided in my swift return after my essential production gear was stolen at the tail end of July 2019. I hope I was able to bring a bit of the magical world of HyperKart Racer to your ears with this homage to my own favorite video game soundtracks growing up. I can't wait to share what's in store with you all as the world of HyperKart expands! ~
