Update (Thu 18th Jun, 2020 13:00 BST): Sonic the Hedgehog DJ Style Party, a new official album featuring remixes from a number of the blue blur's games, is now available to stream online. You'll find it on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Google Play and more.
Original Article (Wed 15th Apr, 2020 14:30 BST): Firmly securing itself a spot on our list of things we never knew we needed is this brand new, upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog album from Sega.
Called 'Sonic the Hedgehog DJ Style Party' - we imagine you're sold already - the album will contain a number of pieces remixed by Sonic series sound director, Tomoya Ohtani. It has a pretty striking cover, which we genuinely wouldn't mind putting on our office shelves.
As spotted by Sonic Stadium, a hasty Google translation of the product's description suggests that the album is based on the SONIC DJ project which took place at SEGA FES 2018. It seems that you'll be able to listen to songs from a number of different Sonic games, from different styles and genres, all remixed into a non-stop stream of party anthems. What a concept.
If you're interested, you can pre-order it as we speak from Amazon Japan (international shipping is available). It's expected to release this June.
Looking forward to driving your loved ones mad this summer by playing this non-stop at full volume? We sure are.

I got excited for a second there that Sonic was getting a music based game.
that art look goooood
The art looks like dreamcast era Sonic so that's cool
Finally I can party like a hog.
Stargazer (Rosalina) liked this. 1h
Seriously though, love that color. Starting to wonder how Sonic as a franchise would have gone if he sported a respectable shade of cyan instead of blue? I'll have to give the tracks a listen.
The colours make me think of Jet Set Radio.
Dreamcast Sonic needs to return. His current design is so bland.
Sonic has been that hey fellow kids meme since he was first dreamt up by some board of executives in the 90s.
Pumpkin Hill had better be on there or I'm not buying.
Sonic, you need specially designed headphones for your forward facing animal ears. You might get some vibrations through your skull but just resting them on your dome is far from ideal. How can you expect to be a pro DJ?
I would like to hear a sample first but the artwork is great.
Would need to hear a bit of it to decide. Back in the days of Napster, I learned that "remix" can either mean amazing, popping dance version of a song... or a stripped down version with a beat added that only resembles the song when they thrown in a few notes from the chorus.
Wow, this actually sounds pretty amazing.
Sonic nusic is usually terrible. I liked the fact they had Powerman 5000, also featured on Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 (remake confirmed yet?), on Shadow the Hedgehog, but the other rock band I recall was cheesy and cringe worthy. Hopefully they mostly feature Hyper Potions, they're a decent act with hxc trance/glitch hop and 8 bit influences, often featured on MonsterCat.
Sweet! I call it now, a Beats version that is Sonic Themed. Maybe it will have cross-fade to K.K. as a guest mix.
Aaaawww YIIiiiiissss
Regal Ruin: Back In Time!!!
They should just make Sonic a mascot for music and film. This clearly is his biggest strength! Even Sonic fans would agree with this. No joke. If you talk to some Sonic fans, they will tell you that they love Sonic because of the stories and the characters. Gameplay seems to be always secondary with this franchise.
Ooh... Spotify.... I’ll listen!
Who cares just give us sonic mania 2
Is the album mediocre like the games?
Sonic music is forever timeless and awesome. This is pretty cool!
