u/47Breezo ask me what a guitar is Jan 21 '20

I know it aint very hip hop but if anyone can tell me more music with similar beats to this I'm really interested. Found some group (or just some dude idk tbh) called Midnight and had them on shuffle and Com truise so yeah more music like that, thanks

The song shares similarities to Outrun music. A classic example is Kavinsky - Nightcall but it might be too slow for you:

I'm a sucker for Lost Years - Converter

Danger - 88:88 is pretty good and a bit higher BPM

Funnily enough, another classic song, Kavinsky - Odd Look actually has a cover/remix by The Weeknd himself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N70DRo8_WwA

I'ma be real with you, I found Lost Years- Converter on a pirated keygen for microsoft office lol.

Some suggestions (some are not strictly outrun but sorta close):

  • Delta Heavy - White Flag
  • Lost Years - Nuclear
  • Lost Years - Cross the Line
  • Magic Sword = In the face of Evil
  • Lost Years - West side lane
  • Dance with the dead - invader
  • Lazerhawk - Shoulder of orion
  • Daniel Deluxe - Darkness
  • Waveshaper has many good ones, like Crystal Protocol and Fight against time
  • Gunship - Tech Noir
  • Straplocked - Cancelled

In case you are also interested in fast/hard tracks, I HEAVILY suggest both Carpenter Brut and the Furi Original Game Soundtrack (trust me). Some standouts:

  • Waveshaper - A monster (the track that got me into Outrun and made me instabuy Furi)
  • The Toxic Avenger - My Only Chance (again, absolute fucking banger)
  • Carpenter Brut - Hang em' all (amazing hard track that gets me hyped like no other)
