Other artists who influenced him include Black Box, Maxi Priest and Caron Wheeler around the time of composing. Many tracks also have a warm, Caribbean quality, and the soundtrack shows the influence of contemporary R&B and hip hop music Yuzo Koshiro said that he was influenced by black music, which was growing together with house and techno, so he "naturally began to think about taking them all in." He was particularly influenced by "the swinging rhythms that characterized breakbeats," especially the "ground beat" (used in Soul II Soul's " Keep On Movin'" in 1988 and Enigma's " Sadeness (Part I)" in 1989) which inspired "The Street of Rage" title track. When Streets of Rage's development began in 1990, Koshiro was influenced by electronic dance music, or club music, specifically techno and house music, and wanted to be the first to introduce those sounds to chiptune and video game music. īreakbeat, Chiptune, D&B, Electro, Electronic, Funk, Game, Hip-hop, House, Industrial, Jazz, R&B, Techno, Urban The soundtracks have influenced a range of chiptune, electronica, grime and dubstep musicians through to the present day, including artists such as Ikonika, BT, Labrinth, Martyn, Joker, Darkstar, Childish Gambino, and Danger. They are considered ahead of their time, and as some of the best video game music of all time. The soundtracks have been critically acclaimed. The music was produced using the Yamaha FM-synth sound chips of the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis video game console ( YM2612) and NEC PC-88 computer ( YM2608), along with Koshiro's own audio programming language "Music Love," a modified version of the PC-88's Music Macro Language (MML). The soundtracks mainly consist of, often experimental, chiptune-based electronic dance music, encompassing electronic genres such as electro, house, techno, hardcore, jungle, ambient, breakbeat, gabber, noise, and trance. The series has inspired three soundtracks featuring music from the games. The Streets of Rage series of beat 'em up action video games by Sega are known for their memorable in-game electronic music, produced by noted video game music composer Yuzo Koshiro.
