That’s OK, but EA Sports will just have to live with the fact that its soccer series only has the second-best music in a sports video game.A Fatboy Slim classic has been given the remix treatment.Īs part of an upcoming remix collection, titled 'Everybody Loves a Remix', garage legend Todd Edwards has reworked Fatboy's 1998 single 'The Rockafeller Skank'. The bouncing house rework - which will be released this Friday, 22nd October - will be followed by various other remixes from A-class artists, which will be released every two weeks.įeaturing samples by artists including Lord Finesse, Art of Noise and Just Brothers, 'Rockafeller Skank' charted well across the globe in 1998.

The nostalgic time trip is something FIFA could never recreate, even if it wanted to. The game’s music is time travel to a simpler time, when MLS still had those crazy shootouts, we only had one presidential scandal at a time and climate change was still 20 years away from wreaking havoc on our planet. What’s made it most enjoyable is the music, taking me back to when I only had one game to play and I played the ever-loving shit out of it. Since THPS1+2 came out earlier this month, I’ve poured hours into revisiting old skate parks and relearning everything from basic ollies to insane 30-second combos. But then again so is skateboarding, and yet the Tony Hawk games have over the years become almost as iconic for their music as their gameplay, still resonating 20 years later. Set to take this years Miami WMC by storm, Koen Groeneveld has unleashed a powerful teched-out belter, working the infamous vocal & building the tension. Football fans are too varied a group to encompass into a single set of music. Rockafeller Skank - Fatboy Slim & Koen Groeneveld (Original Mix) Toolroom join forces with Skint to unleash the awesome new take on Fatboy Slims classic Rockerfeller Skank. But it’s not an era-defining collection of tunes that perfectly encapsulates the game.Īdmittedly, it’s impossible to find one playlist to appease soccer fans around the globe. FIFA is still my go-to source for new music, as it is for thousands, if not millions. That’s what sets the music of Tony Hawk apart from FIFA music: The songs in THPS are an extension of the skateboarding community, while the songs in FIFA typically just try to pick out trends before they begin.

The Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 remaster that came out Sept. The music became the soundtrack of my life. A year later, the sequel added Rage Against The Machine, Naughty By Nature, Anthrax & Public Enemy and Bad Religion.

When I finally got my hands on THPS in 1999, I became engulfed in the game and was particularly enthralled by the punk and ska music.īecause I played the game so much, Dead Kennedys, Primus, The Suicide Machines and especially Goldfinger’s Superman, which has rung through my head for the last two weeks, became ingrained in my mind.

I played the Warehouse level for hours on end until I could afford to buy the full game. Well, no, Pink Floyd wasn’t in THPS, but the impact the demo for that first game had on me was immense. Now I’ve got that feeling once again I can’t explain you would not understand. The one game that outshines FIFA in music is another sports game, one that first came out over 20 years ago but was rereleased this month - Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater. It’s not the Final Fantasy VII soundtrack, though that was the first soundtrack of any kind I ever bought, or the music in Rock Band, which I still pull out from time to time, nor is it the music from GTA: Vice City, arguably the greatest collection of music ever put into one video game. when I worked nights right out of college and hoping that catchy “Genius” song featuring Sia, Diplo, Labrinth and LSD would come on while doing FIFA Fridays with The18.īut as deep as my connection is to the music of FIFA, there’s one game that I feel more attached to musically than any other. I remember giggling with my high school friends over the song “Jerk It Out” by Caesars while creating our own FIFA tournaments, grooving to Kasabian while playing FIFA until 6 a.m. From Blur, Fatboy Slim and Robbie Williams in the 90s, to Moby, Gorillaz, Kings of Leon and Morrissey in the 00s, to Foster the People, deadmau5, Billie Eilish and Childish Gambino in the 10s, when I hear music that’s been in a FIFA game, I’m immediately reminded of where I was in life when the song appeared in FIFA.
