>First of all, Hi, my name is Joan Riera and I'm a Spotify playlist curator. I'm making this post to show you this project I've been working on for many months now for this community.

>I've always been interested in cyberpunk music and aesthetic since I was a kid and invested many hours everyday discovering new music and artists sharing this aesthetic. Due to the hype I've got when I knew Cyberpunk 2077 was getting released I began to compile all the music I discovered since i was a kid until now in a playlist, which it began being just a messy personal playlist for me.

>What made me change my mind and turn that random playlist into this bigger thing that it is now was seeing that every cyberpunk playlist out there was only focusing in one or two genres mainly made of random synthwave and electronic rock music, thing that wasn't doing justice at all to the vast and unique cyberpunk universe. And then this reminded me of a post I saw in here where someone asked to the Cyberpunk 2077 developers regarding to the music of the game which their answer (for those who don't know nor remember) was:

We're marrying ''cyber'' with ''punk'' these are our two main pillars for music direction. ''Cyber centers around sonic texture of the score our sound palette is raw, dirty, synthesized, sometimes even futuristic. ''Punk'' is all about the attitude of music rebellious, ballsy and impulsive. Night City shimmers with colors and so is the music we're not limiting ourselves to one specific genre. Instead, we're drawing from all sorts of styles to craft unique mix that drives the narrative and provides additional layers of context to the story.

>SO, due to all of this, I told myself that I would try to make the best cyberpunk musical experience as possible for all the people in this sub to enjoy and this is what it has become now; a massive playlist currently consisting of 466 handpicked songs classified into 8 main sections sorted by genres each one representing a different mood and sensation resulting into +34 hr. of pure dystopian cyberpunk awesomeness. Here's how it's arranged:

>C O N N E CT_

>D I S C O N N E C T_

>All the tracks were arranged in a way so that they ''flow'' together (Example: Kaneda's Theme from Akira's Soundtrack resolving into Initate by PhaseOne both having a very tribal-esque influence).

>Between sections there's a Soundtrack / Ambient section before transitioning to the next genre, formed by some of the best cyberpunk soundtracks until now (blade runner, ghost in the shell, akira, deus ex, and many more dystopian science fiction movies, games and TV series) and futuristic ambient and synth pieces.

>Besides having every track a dramatic and dystopian feeling every single one has a couple or many of these signature cyberpunk elements to make sure it properly fits to the theme:

>Distorted / overly compressed sounds_

>Robotical sound design_

>Glitch sounds & special fx_

>Epic choirs & orchestra_

>Dramatic synths_

>Overdriven guitars_

>Technical / complex drums & percussion_

>This is all I have done until now which I wanted to show you, so if you think that you could improve it in any way please let me know your thoughts down below! I want this to fully represent this sub and community as well as possible.

>I'm thinking of adding Punk classics and more modern Rock and Metal even if they don't have a direct electronic influence since the lack of good electronic rock/metal out there (IMO) which is a vital component for the cyberpunk world. What do you think? Yes or No?

>I accept submissions as long as they have good production quality and fit well into the theme of the playlist.

>Some of the tracks are greyed out since they're not on Spotify but you can see it anyways for your interest.

>My goal is to fully complete it for the release day of Cyberpunk 2077, so you can fully enjoy it while playing it in your home.

>Playlist description on Spotify is temporary.

PD: I'll appreciate very much if you could just upvote this post for reaching as much people as possible, the last thing I would want is to make all that effort for nothing! Thank you 🙂
