New Featured Artist: Cres.
New Featured Artist: Cres.
Timeless classic Cres. joins the fray as our newest Featured Artist!
Holding the rhythm game spotlight for 15 years and counting, Cres. is the producer responsible for End Time — a stream-heavy song that practically every osu! player is familiar with.
This masterpiece was produced for 2006's BMS OF FIGHTERS event, and while it's been popular since then, it was only featured in rhythm games like maimai and CHUNITHM a couple years ago. Since then Cres. has shifted towards producing background music for non-rhythm games, drawing inspiration from major composers like Uematsu Nobuo and ZUN, while also sticking to his roots by taking notes from KONAMI games between 2000-2010.
We snagged 14 tracks from this producer paragon, End Time included of course.
If you're one of the three osu! players who hasn't heard Cres. yet, worry not! zonelouise and Aistre are here to show off this electro-trance sensation, so check out the video (or any other previews) below:

Play through any of these 4 mapsets:
- osu! mapset hosted by Mirage (the most popular of the bunch!)
- osu! mapset hosted by soulfear (the hardest!)
- osu! mapset hosted by Kyshiro (the newest!)

You know the drill. Everything above and MUCH more can be found on Cres.'s Featured Artist listing. Tedious timing for each song is prepared in advance, so you jump straight into the slightly-less-tedious mapping part!
That's all for now, so where do you go from here? Assuming you've already started mapping your favorite Cres. song, sliding over to the @osugame Twitter and waiting for next Wednesday's new Featured Artist is a pretty solid choice.
Anyway, see you next week!
