GXM 8

Brazillian producer and DJ Dedeco has been playing video games all of his life, but it was the crowd’s response to hearing music from Persona 3 and Ridge Racer in his live DJ set that inspired him to create a YouTube channel dedicated to VGM remixes and DJ sets.

He chats to us about how the resurgence of jungle and drum & bass is fuelling a growing interest in old-school game soundtracks; which genres of club music are best represented in games; and why his upcoming PS2 mix is his biggest yet.
