joins us for an album unlike anything else we’ve heard before. Hydrocity is an album inspired by the soundscape of Sonic the Hedgehog. Halc writes:

“Inspired by such visionary producers as Joshua Morse, P Villa, and Savant, this album has everything from chiptune-influenced electro and dubstep to ambient beats, FM funk and jazz fusion, delightfully blended and compiled into a 40-minute package. The album also features an arrangement of the ever-popular ‘Hydrocity Zone’ music from Sonic the Hedgehog 3, and guest appearances by fellow OC ReMix legends Level 99 and WillRock.
