    JUL 1

    Mario Kart Grand Prix Tour

    [Episode 40] This month, barSILENCE is powersliding through the iconic, energetic, and incredibly fun soundtracks to the console Mario Kart games. The Mario Kart series hit the track in 1992 and has remained one of Nintendo’s most iconic and best-selling franchises. Whether it was the leap into 3D with Mario Kart 64, the two-character strategy of Double Dash!!, or Mario Kart Wii’s motion controls and online multiplayer, each entry introduced new ways to race while keeping the spirit of the series intact. In this Grand Prix-style tour through the first four console games, we’re racing through favorites like Koopa Beach and Mario Circuit (Super Mario Kart), Toad’s Turnpike and Rainbow Road (Mario Kart 64), Peach Beach and Sherbet Land (Double Dash!!), and Coconut Mall and Daisy Circuit (Mario Kart Wii). Get your limited edition gold N64 controllers ready, because we’re hitting the track and setting Nintendo Power contest lap records! Let’s-a-Go! Waaahooooo!

    Shinobi & Nightshade

    [Episode 39] This month, barSILENCE is dashing across rooftops and slicing through the shadows with the pulse-pounding beats of Shinobi and Nightshade for the PlayStation 2. 2002’s Shinobi introduced us to the relentless, vengeance-driven Hotsuma, and 2004’s Nightshade passed the blade to Hibana, a fierce ninja with her own score to settle. With blazing speed, brutal difficulty, a sleek near-future look, and a killer soundtrack, these stylish action games brought Sega’s classic ninja franchise into the 3D era. Prepare for an audio mission through shadows, steel, and synths in Tokyo!

    APR 1

    Hip Hop Mixtape Vol. 1

    [Episode 38] This month, barSILENCE is behind the decks for a mixtape-style episode, spinning tracks from games that showcase hip-hop’s undeniable influence on gaming history. Hip-hop and video games are two cultural powerhouses that have inspired each other for decades. This episode celebrates that intersection of beats and bits, from classic 16-bit grooves to hip-hop artists stepping in as composers. Whether it’s the funk-infused rhythms of Ristar, the street-art style of Marc Ecko’s Getting Up, or the raw energy and fisticuffs of Wu-Tang: Shaolin Style, hip-hop’s presence in gaming is bold, loud, and unforgettable. Grab your controller, drop the needle, and press start on the ultimate hip-hop video game music mixtape!
