VGM Essentials: Ben Briggs

12 tracks • 41 minutes • July 22, 2022

Firaga Records presents our new artist-centric series: VGM Essentials. The first entry comes from none other than video game remixing legend, Ben Briggs - full-time musician and DJ, Twitch Streamer, founder of Tiny Waves, and audio director for The Completionist. 

With nearly two decades of experience remixing video game music, Ben comes full circle on this album collaborating with fellow artists and friends such as VGR, arthur x medic, RoboRob, Bolide, Vector U, and many more, to create an immersive experience of his own that is VGM Essentials: Ben Briggs.

Ben and his friends cover a variety of nostalgic video game songs from Chrono Trigger, Diddy Kong Racing, Sonic Colors, Super Mario Galaxy, and more. Ben states that “if there’s anything I want people to take away from this album, it’s the feeling that these games from our past life are not only real, but immortal and endlessly magical. I wanted to capture the feeling of playing these retro games for the first time; when our imagination filled in all the blanks between pixels and polygons, and picking up a controller was our ticket to new worlds and the feeling of being surrounded by magic and wonder. A perfectly tailor-made upgrade to your fondest memories.”
