I really like it when these OSTs have environment building tracks, like Aw Man! and Oi Scotty!, really helps build the world around the menu and gameplay tracks. Also really like the low health part in DIE BY ME!, all around really great stuff!

Description
Cyberpunk
Message from the artist:
This is my first time mastering and all my audio equipment isn't exactly top-of-the-line, so any constructive criticism on the mastering specifically would be highly appreciated!
How does it fit the theme?
In this hypothetical arcade shooter, you are an assassin in the alleys of Night City, music blasting and bouncing all over the place and cheering you on. These are four of those songs.
1. Ready N' Loaded!
This track is the menu theme. A tight bassline and simple drum pattern invite you to mow down some targets!
2. DIE BY ME!
This track is the main gameplay loop. whistles whine and drums get their faces beat in as you take out one of your new target's lackeys after the other. Towards the end, an alternate mix kicks in when health is low. the track becomes muffled, slower, and lower pitched, as a fast, heavy beat helps the player feel the same panic and adrenaline as their character.
3. Aw Man!
This track is a game-over theme—a spartan, dreary beat races in your head before you hit Retry.
4. Oi Scotty!
This is the body mod shop's theme. As this game's upgrade system, this mod shop is the perfect place to increase the cyber in cyberpunk. A calm set of pads and a strong bass riff calm you just enough to help you stomach getting more metal and circuitry get jammed into you, but not enough for your heart to slow down enough to kill you!
