Hey,
You might not be interested as this isn't new territory... but I'm making a VR shooter heavily inspired by Hotline Miami. I literally just posted about it (https://itch.io/t/553985/vr-dr-lucky-duck). In saying that, I'm open to ideas as I'm really struggling to nail down a sound that fits.
I've been looking at various music styles and I know Synth is out - It's draining to hear over and over (unless it's the Terminator theme).
I think the best direction is something like the Max Payne 1 song Byzantine Power Game (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=so3TUeGwMHs). I quite like some of Rezz's work for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oIAQSUt9mo but don't think it'll fit.
I reached out as I think your work with Black Tar (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agefZHl0T98) is quite similar to the Max Payne 1 sound. Even if you're not interested, I'd love to hear some suggestions you may be able to offer.
