Kid Koala Releases New Song “Build Your Crew” and Announces Spring 2018 Vinyl Vaudeville: Floor Kids Edition Tour Dates

From his upcoming Floor Kids Original Video Game Soundtrack,  DJ and producer Kid Koala (aka Eric San) released the new track “Build Your Crew”. It’s part of a 42-track project featuring 71 minutes of original instrumental hip-hop and break music from the award-winning video game, Floor Kids. “Build Your Crew” captures the essence of breakdance, weaving an aural history of the music that helped develop an art form.

Floor Kids is a  breakdancing rhythm game for the Nintendo Switch, that received positive reviews for interactive gameplay, innovative control system, and vibrant animation.  Kid Koala’s soundtrack has also been garnering positive attention, most recently earning Best Game Audio at Indie Prize.

The album is set for release on April 27th and Kid Koala has announced the Vinyl Vaudeville: Floor Kids Edition tour, a special expanded version of his prior on-the-road variety show, including a traveling arcade that will hit the road on April 26th (tour dates below).
