can i just mention briefly what a fuckin' awesome track this is from Sanctum 2's soundtrack? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfRLAhhYa7U
I dunno what it is but this sorta music just... really gels with me. Futuristic, heavy, pounding basslines and drum tracks like industrial machinery, a simultaneous feeling of claustrophobia and wide open freedom, energy pulsing beneath the surface, waiting to break out.
similar tracks are largely from Ghost in the Shell media of course, unsurprisingly:
key examples:
PS1 GITS Game: Opening cinematic, and Spectre.
PS2 GITS game: Staff Roll, and the stacompos2.DnB sanodg mix of the same track, and Remembrance ~ Multi-Level Car Parking Tower
the GITS:SAC series: We Can't Be Cool, Fish ~ Silent Cruise, Zero Signal, Dear John, Torukia
That said, other examples from other media are:
Noisia - Seven Stitches (Wipeout Pulse)
Hybrid - Until Tomorrow (Stefan Anion Remix), also Cascade
Photek - The Third Sequence (Wipeout 2097) ((also dear god this track is awesome))
M|O|O|N - Dust, and Paris (used in the Hotline Miami games)
Scattle - Remorse and Light Club - Blizzard (also both HLM 2 tracks)
she (lain trzaska) - Exude
