Indie publisher Wired Productions has announced the launch of the debut EP from Black Razor Records called Arcade Paradise. The new music label aims to bridge the gap between the video game and music worlds.
Arcade Paradise will be the label’s debut EP of Black Razor Records with 4 tracks from the video game of the same name. It comes as a collaboration between writers Kieron Pepper (ex-Prodigy live drummer 1997-2007), Ben Pickersgill (Brighton producer [Klax, Critical]), and singer Stu Brootal (Ivar & The Horde).
In addition, all proceeds from the sales via Bandcamp will be donated to the video games mental health charity, Safe In Our World.
The titular song Arcade Paradise follows the story of Ashley and their dysfunctional relationship with their father, combining anger and determination to show just what can be done with the right focus.
Arcade Paradise EP Tracklist:
- Ivar & The Horde – Arcade Paradise (Explicit)
- Ivar & The Horde – Arcade Paradise (Future Funk Squad Electro Mix)
- Ivar & The Horde – Arcade Paradise (Radio Edit)
- Ivar & The Horde – Arcade Paradise (Instrumental)
Kieron Pepper, composer and producer for the Arcade Paradise EP had this to say,
The story of Ashley and their struggle with authority is one we have all experienced at some point in our lives. When we were briefed about the theme, it was easy to quickly understand and relate to. Stu Brootal and his crew [Ivar & The Horde] smash it out of the park with the right level of anger and energy.
Leo Zullo, Managing Director at Wired Productions Music added,
I hope gamers and music fans alike appreciate the song’s message and how the money it raises will contribute to the great work that Safe In Our World does. Music has always been in the DNA of Wired Productions, so setting up a music label is a natural step for us. As we are independent we choose the projects we work on, so our first release combines our favourite things… video games, great music and supporting a video game mental health charity close to our hearts… because we can.
Wired Productions has also launched the highly anticipated Black Label collection, following a successful pre-order campaign.
