Giovanni La Licata It's a quote by Derrick May I think, about DJ's who never get the recognition, money or fame they deserved. It's in the original song.

OH GOD I WAS LIKE 4... played this on my Playstation when I knew fuck-all about driving. And this menu theme sounds just as awesome as it did back then!
I think half the time I used to play this game just because I loved the music. As a sax player, ?I might actually try a cover version of it with my jazz-fusion band.
Hugh Mann really?! It was hard for me too in 1998 when i was 12 and relative new to racing. After some time you get experience and you overtake the most of them in a race.
As a kid in 2000 (age 11), I indeed found the game very hard. I couldn't win the championship on Medium difficulty. I tried again in 2018, and this time won the season on Hard with relatively little difficulties (a few exciting races, to be sure). I guess the game's handling model gets easier with age and patience, as being too greedy on the power often leads to oversteer spins (and what are children if not brash and greedy).
O man the memories I can remember the first time I hear the song my Playstation I turned up the volume on my hifi just to listen it louder I think I listened to hit I couple times before I started to play the game Toca 2 classic ps1 game
I literally started listening to EZ Rollers about a week ago and this exact song from this game popped up in a video and I thought I was tripping. What are the fucking chances
@@TeckGeck I believe it is often referred to as liquid drum and bass. Like drum and bass with all the sharp edges smoothed over or a sped up version of trip-hop.
@@slonky821 well it depends whom you ask as I have it on good authority that it is. I'm no expert on drum and bass so I'll just be over here listening to some jazz-funk, on which I am an expert.
This literally gave me goosebumps listening to it for the first time after all these years....
not the only one with that feeling... ;)
I have that exact moment right now
One of the chillest pieces of music ever made. Period. Full stop.
remembrance of my childhood
Same here :)
Same here.
same
Same
The amount of nostalgia this gives me blows my head off.
If you read this my son! This is Music!!!!! xD
I remember playing this at about 5 or 6 years old on my dads computer. So many memories with this song... :) thanks
Racing game Music didn't have the authority to be THIS good and yet they continued to blow us away! EVERYTHING
For anybody thinking this is too short,
This is just an short edit of E-Z Rollers - Retro
they did TOCA 2 OST
The opening video to this game also had a banger soundtrack.
Nostalgia goal accomplished today
Only coming back to this now years later and realising that this is basically a Jungle song, which I love :D
It's amazing.... Adam F- circles is also good one. What happend to dnb :,(

Hansen Sebastian what does it means?

25 years later, many digital championships in many different motorsports won and lost, but I'll always be "the newcomer" in TOCA 2
Love it so much... Christmas 1998... 12 years old boy... happiness :)
Yeah, I have 6 years old and i'm playing this game in my PS1 at afternoon, drinking a glass of orange juice.
Nostalgia
For anyone that likes this song as much as I do, this is a real song :) "Retro" by E-Z Rollers
you are a hero! thank you very much
Always come back to this banger - Nostalgia aswell 🥺

This is the interview.
remembrance of my childhood aswell because I was always playing this game and i preferred this to gran turismo
James Downes Same : (
Quite a chilled tune, makes you feel relaxed until the green light and chaos of the BTCC race begins. The first two TOCA games were awesome.
OH GOD I WAS LIKE 4... played this on my Playstation when I knew fuck-all about driving. And this menu theme sounds just as awesome as it did back then!
the beginning is so relaxing to vibe along
Love me some D&B
So nostalgic, there's always been something magical about this song for me. Shame the rest of the game didn't have a soundtrack.
bro no way
@@SammehMate Lmao what're the chances! Didn't get a noti for this but decided to come back for a re-listen lol

Man i miss drum and bass like this
an absolute masterpiece!
Got this game for my 15th birthday. Was still racing karts at that stage so was massively into this!!
O man the memories I can remember the first time I hear the song my Playstation I turned up the volume on my hifi just to listen it louder I think I listened to hit I couple times before I started to play the game Toca 2 classic ps1 game
Exelent drum and bass
The way this loops is amazing
The nostalgia.. it almost hurts man
First video game I’ve ever played and also first drum n bass. Love this game
I remember if you explored the files on the PC version you could find a load of outtakes from Tiff Nedell doing the voiceover.
Aaaah the nostalgia. I could never win with the Vectra in championship mode but accomplished it with just about every other car
The vectra was hard use to always break from the rear and slide
2021 great sound.
LTJ Bunkem (moodswings) brought me back
love this song

Racing the Primera because my family owned a R31 back in the day.
Such an underrated gem 💛

Why does this sound like a song from a sonic game.

Ohhhh this game was one amazing game, and in-fact the only menu music i like from any game...
Croc 2
you obviously haven't played the original Formula 1 game (1995 season), some proper Joe Satriani eargasms there
Midtown Madness has a nice theme IMO as well
so you don't like gran turismo menu themes?
@@demogaming8895 never played a GT game 🤔🤔
At about 0:08 I usually started reloading my save after once again being taken out by the AI on the first lap.
Tune !
oh fioii
Reminds me Of Sim City 4
This track is on sims city?
LOL your reply only just showed up. No i was saying the music is close to music in sim city 4
Reminds me of cowboy bebop
back then i dont know what a genre is! but now i call this jazzbreak
Nu Jazz, or Future Jazz
Ninja Tune Label is full of it
intelligent drum n bass
#nostalgia
What genre of music is this? What would I search for if I want to listen to more like it?
@Zombi350 Thanks, I'll give it a listen.
@Zombi350 I really like it, thanks!
Nu Jazz, check out Traffic by Cujo
@@pentexsucks43 Thanks, I'll check it out.
@@pentexsucks43 Wow, that's really cool. I love the energy. Thanks.
Genre? Chillout or what?
Jazzy DnB/Jungle or Jazzstep
@@TeckGeck I believe it is often referred to as liquid drum and bass. Like drum and bass with all the sharp edges smoothed over or a sped up version of trip-hop.
@@jazzzzdude This is the correct answer.
@@jazzzzdude this isn't liquid drum n bass
@@slonky821 well it depends whom you ask as I have it on good authority that it is. I'm no expert on drum and bass so I'll just be over here listening to some jazz-funk, on which I am an expert.

what kind of music is this? any other example?
The songs called Retro by E-Z Rollers, jungle music. Any Jungle tune with a sax in it sounds like sex, google a few jungle forums and enjoy
Check Adam F- Circles ;)
Try Jazzy Jungle/DnB or Jazzstep
This is an early example of liquid drum 'n bass.
Intelligent drum and bass?
My childhood
what kind of music is this? any other example?
The only thing I know the beat ressembles Drum and bass, but I would like it to be more inspirational and racing like this too. I loved the game.
Jazz, maybe?
Yeah its like drum and bass or you could sort of say jungle, theres plenty of similar tunes to them :)
