Description
The concept of Club Hopper is to help an aging party animal navigate the hardships of time travel, partying hard enough in each era to open up the warp to the next one. Each track represents a stage for the player to complete.

To coincide with the element of time travel, a number of different genres and tech was used, elaborated more in the theme section.

Theme:

Tick Tock...

Picture theme

How does it fit the theme?
While there are some arguably derivative connections to the theme (e.g. clock noises), there are some more meaningful ties throughout. Namely, every track tackles a different genre from an era when it was at its peak, imagined as a related stage theme the player lands in. Moreover, each one utilized a different means of creation, as listed below:

1. "No Cover at the Warehouse" (electronic dance party stage) - a heavy electronic track made with Renoise, using a variety of samples and effects. Also envisioned it as the title theme.

2. "From the Top" (jazz club) - a swinging jazz number with two different tempos, made in Furnace using the Sega X setup like a number of arcade titles in the 16-bit era.

3. "Torn Denim" (rock club) - a rock track bordering between the end of glam rock and the start of grunge. Made in Cubase with some synths and real guitar.

4. "Crashin' on the Couch" (house party) - an homage to 90s hip-hop, made in Furnace on the N163, a modified chip for the NES giving a more classic 8-bit crunch and fuzz. Would serve additionally as the staff roll theme.
