Hotline Miami and Hotline Miami 2 soundtracks to gain vinyl release

The soundtracks for Hotline Miami and Hotline Miami 2 will be arriving on vinyl.

Announced yesterday, Laced Records will unveil the Hotline Miami 1 & 2: The Complete Collection box set. Three versions of the box set will be available to obtain; Laced Records will have an exclusive limited-edition box set with teal galaxy-effect LPs and a box set featuring standard black discs. The Devolver Digital store will have a limited-edition boxset with neon yellow & pink discs.

Laced Records pre-orders can be made here while Devolver Digital pre-orders can be made here. The vinyl box set is slated for an April 2023 release.

A statement about the vinyl release reads:

Every in-game track from Hotline Miami and Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number is present and correct, including Castanets’ “You Are The Blood” (not previously available via the HM2 Steam soundtrack release.) 76 tracks remastered for vinyl will be pressed to heavyweight LPs that come in spined inner sleeves, contained in a rigid board lift-off lid box with spot UV highlight.

Also included in the box are two 12” art prints of the front and back cover pieces, and a 50 Blessings symbol felt slipmat and metallic sticker.

The box set features brand new eye-exploding artwork by long-time Dennaton collaborator Niklas Åkerblad — aka El Huervo aka Beard — alongside illustrator -IZMA-. El Huervo’s grisly covers depict contradictory accounts of a berserk face-off between Jacket and Biker, replete with entrails. -IZMA-’s disc sleeves explore scenes from the series’ lore, tapping into the violence, psychedelia and nihilism that pervade its characters and themes.

10 years on, neon-soaked indie hit Hotline Miami has become a cultural touchstone in a way that few video games ever achieve — and the electronic soundtracks for both series titles are held up as modern classics that have transcended gaming. At turns brutal and laid-back, pulsating and aimless, coked-up and checked-out, these two ultracool compilations were at the heart of the retro-’80s synthwave scene that swept the Internet over the 2010s.
