The track, featured in the game trailer below is SPEEDRACER [FEAT. QUIXOTIC], off of Lazerpunk’s totally rad 2018 album “Death and Glory.” It’s a righteous smash of electro and darksynth, and you should really give it a listen if you haven’t already. Quixotic also notable recently released Flamingo Drive-In, a fantastic album in it’s own right!

Congrats to both of these incredible artists!

Quixotic has been producing synth for years starting around 2011, if not earlier. In all of that time he’s been refining his sound – and that wait has paid off.

“Flamingo Drive-In”  features a variety of synth genres, from italo to dreamwave and darksynth with righteous shredding throughout. Every track on this epic debut is perfectly produced as well, polished like a pure beam of neon jutting straight into our souls.

Recently Lazerpunk has even taken to the inter tubes to preach on this fanatically grand debut, singing high praises for Quixotic in general as well.

“…Quixotic is seriously one of the best guys I know, and probably THE best music producer….he is finally releasing his LP, which I was begging for him to do since forever. I remember doing phonecalls with him at 3am, talking about music for hours, and trying to convince him to just do it, let go of his perfectionism, just release it finally, but it was useless. And I’m not surprised or disappointed, as I knew from the start that he will only release this album once it is perfect.”
