OSTs have always been the thriving element behind every good video game. Some of my favorite OSTs are that of the Zelda series and Final Fantasy series. No surprise there. I’m sure some of you can relate. As fans of video game music, creative mixes are something any hardcore gamer would love to hear.

We posted about this at the end of ‘09, but just a reminder that the Polysics US tour is now underway, and they’ll be coming to NY in just a couple short weeks!  Check out their MySpace page or our previous post for the full set of tour dates, and if you’re here in NY, mark your calendars for February 13th.  Polysics will be playing the Gramercy Theatre, and you can grab your tickets from Live Nation right here. We here at NYT have covered Polysics in the past and are big fans, so make sure you get out to this show. Hit the jump for more info.

Last night was the release party for EAR TO THE GROUND: TOKYO. The party was held at the hip and relaxing LimeWire event space. There was plenty of good food and drinks to make the attendees happy. Many music industry heads were in the building mingling and enjoyed a good time networking. Sounds were provided by Tektite (Vitamin Breaks, NYC), DJ Lyve (BET), and Roxy Cottontail! A diverse mix of electronic, DJ Honda classics, and other sounds complimented the space. Music videos and other visuals of the artists featured on the compilation were projected to give an idea of the artists. Check out the photos from the event after the jump!
