DiscoCactus is a collective of composers, performers, and arrangers. They play video game music. Sort of. They use video game soundtracks as a jumping off point for a party, a nonstop display of kinetic musicianship that blends contemporary art music with dozens of pop styles, steeped in the language of the Internet. Established in 2014, the band’s core is made up of experienced game audio professionals, and each member is a world-class performer in their own right. You’ve heard some of them in games like Celeste, Destiny 2, Mortal Kombat 11, and Helldivers 2.
When it’s time to play as DiscoCactus, these six performers form like Voltron, bringing all of their experience and power down on one purpose: To make you shake your ass. They combine their unique perspectives to make a show that transcends genre and transforms the music in fresh, exciting ways. You don’t have to know a thing about video game music to enjoy DiscoCactus – just strap in for a rollicking, avant-garde nerd carnival.
