New Featured Artist: meganeko

meganeko joins our lineup as the latest Featured Artist!

Another name dashing in from geometric beginnings, meganeko is a Swedish producer most known in the rhythm gaming scene from people going absolutely wild with his track Milkshake in the Geometry Dash community. Beyond that, he's also created tracks for games like Slime-San and Project Arrhythmia.

We've assembled a collection of 26 tracks from across his entire discography for your mapping adventures, spanning chiptune, EDM and even more cyberpunk-inspired progressive marvels. The more perceptive among us may have even heard some of these tracks featured as BGM in the osu!taiko World Cup streams recently!

This includes a selection from his latest album Eclipse, which we were extremely privileged to get a sneak peek of many months back.

On top of that, the Mappers' Guild has been hard at work producing a few osu!catch preview sets for his work, all ready for you to sink your teeth into in preparation for the osu!catch World Cup. If you've never given osu!catch a try, there's no better time!

Congratulations to tweeters @Duskyui, @Amateurre45, @Fknea and @ent_twit for correctly guessing this week's hint! @Duskyui in particular was extra close - astronomic refers both to his latest album (Eclipse) and is also synonym for 'mega', whilst feline refers to cat, which is 'neko' in Japanese. It wasn't a hugely difficult one granted, but there were considerably less people going for the name of a certain top player than we thought there'd be.

This week was a little bit special with our "double" release, but we'll be back to normal next week with another new artist for you to enlighten your ears with. Keep tabs on the @osugame Twitter for more details!
