Astralwerks + Ninja = Ninjawerks
• In what is being touted as a first for the music and gaming worlds, Astralwerks has joined forces with Tyler “Ninja” Blevins, acknowledged as “the world’s biggest gamer,” on a groundbreaking new music project — Ninjawerks, which will be populated with the music of some of today’s most acclaimed electronic artists. Ninja announced the album project Friday morning at TwitchCon in San Jose, CA.
“I’m stoked about this project, first because I truly love the music, but also because I think this is another big step towards bridging the gap between music artists and gamers,” said Ninja. “Our worlds keep getting more and more connected, and this feels like the next step — hopefully this can become the soundtrack to gaming. It’s also amazing to partner with Astralwerks and Capitol Music Group, because they bring so much credibility to the album. I mean. Come on. Get your ears ready.”
Astralwerks GM Toby Andrews added, “Partnering with Ninja and taking our first step into the gaming world simultaneously as a label is an extremely exciting proposition, and we couldn’t be happier to be announcing Ninjawerks. Working with Ninja and his team at Loaded to curate and conceptualize the album and the coming campaign has been remarkable. Through the hard work and dedication of a lot of people, it’s great to see this project come to life and expand the possibilities of what we can offer artists.”
Ninjawerks will be available in digital, CD and vinyl formats. Look for songs and other content to be launched in the weeks ahead, including a wide range of merchandise, Ninjawerks accessories and original artwork. [Photo Credit: Ryan Taylor/Red Bull Content Pool]
