Sonic Rush Music - Genre?

[hextupleyoodot]

I enjoy listening to the sonic rush music, particularly from the original, with the music by Naganuma (I like his stuff a little more than Nakagawa's). Anyway, I've never really been good at categorizing music, namely from games (dunno why). I dunno if that's a common problem for people just starting to get into this kinda stuff, or if I'm just ignorant/stupid =P

So, what would one consider it? I've heard people call it "Funk/Hip Hop, or "unconventional techno" but I don't really know what qualifies as hip hop in the first place ^^;;

Jungle/techno, with loads of sugar and sprinkles.

I think Sonic Rush would fall squarely in the TOO BLACK, TOO STRONG genre.

Actually, the guy who wrote the music is known for doing Funk/Techno mixes with hip-hop inspirations here and there, and I would say most if not all of the Music from Sonic Rush falls under that category. It's definitely techno, but there's a lot of funk arrangements and some occasional Hip Hop elements.

Answer? Experimently new. But got with Funk/Techno.

It's a hodgepodge of stuff, not really rooted in any particular genre. If you want something similiar in terms of sound, try Fatboy Slim.

And it's certainly not Techno.
