- DJ Qbert, Hip Hop, Oct Release:
- “I’ve always dreamt of creating soundtracks for video games… and now I’m awake, doing music for the #1 game of all time!”
- “Arranging the studio, consolidating the car trunk, etc… everyone’s doing the Tetris! I even apply the phenomena to my skratch combos!”
- Marcopatino, EDM, Oct Release:
- “I am honored to have my song Fall For You included in Tetris Beat! As a lifelong gamer and musician, having my music included in one of gaming’s most legendary franchises is a dream come true!”
- Miyachi, Hip Hop, Oct Release:
- “Shout out to Tetris, the Jay-Z of video games. Don’t ever box yourself in, in Tetris or in life.”
- Katherine Ho, Pop, Oct Release:
- “I played Tetris all the time when I was in college, especially during exam season, when I’d have little study breaks to reward myself with a round of Tetris. Tetris was like a supportive friend that helped get me through stressful times, and it’s such an honor to have my original music be part of a game that I’ve spent so much time playing! It’s even cooler that I get to pay homage to my Asian-American heritage through it being in Mandarin. Much gratitude to Jason Chu for being the best co-writer and translator, and to CHOPS Music for the incredible beat and production.”
