There is a very strong connection of gaming and music.. Asian dj and producer Andrew Chen, better known by his stage name Shogun is all set to kick out his debut artist album this year but what spunk would it be in not teasing the fans with a few singles prior to the full length album release. With ‘Zanarkand’, Shogun returns to his trancy style of music adjoining two of your favorite things into one musical masterpiece.
Voted ‘Future Favorite’ by the worldwide audience of Armin van Buuren‘s A State of Trance radio show, ‘Zanarkand’ is Shogun’s melodic and uplifting tribute to the popular video game Final Fantasy X.
“As an avid video gamer, I knew the theme song from Final Fantasy X was meant to be turned into a trance track. I want to bring nostalgia to everyone who experienced playing it. To me, it’s like listening to Zelda or Mario–it just holds a special place in a gamer’s heart.” said Shogun about his tribute.
Tough drums, energetic bass lines and of course the fantastic dreamy anthem nature facilitated by orchestral music and extensive piano chords with Shogun’s signature style of big drop will keep you begging for more.
‘Zanarkand’ is out now on Armada Music’s imprint Armind Recordings, so you can grab it now on Beatport.
