Samus & Chill

If Metroid’s soundtrack was lofi hip-hop.
Support the album ▸ vgm.fm/samuschill
Samus & Chill is a tribute to the music of Metroid, Nintendo’s beloved sci fi video game series. Producer Tune in with Chewie transforms the dark, atmospheric Metroid soundtrack into laid back lofi hip hop, featuring soft piano chords, smooth vintage synths, and expressive guitar.
Samus & Chill is a carefully crafted homage to the music of Metroid.
Samus & Chill marks Tune in with Chewie’s first release with video game record label GameChops. Exploring a wide array of tracks from the Metroid series, Chewie remixes tunes ranging all the way from the series’ debut on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1986, through Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion, and the Metroid Prime trilogy.
Chewie, real name Nestor Estrada, is a guitarist and music producer native to Los Angeles, California. Producing and composing music for over a decade, he’s also the lead sound designer at Output, a software instrument company. Chewie produced Samus & Chill with Logic Pro using custom-built synthesizers, orchestral sound libraries, and vast textures created from his eurorack and guitar. While Chewie’s been a guitarist most of his life, his piano chops also shine through across the album.
Samus & Chill features 12 tracks from the Metroid game series, including tracks from Metroid, Super Metroid, Fusion, Prime, Prime 3, Other M, and Samus Returns. Compositions by Hirokazu Tanaka, Kouichi Kyuma, Kenji Yamamoto, Minako Hamano, Masaru Tajima, and Akira Fujiwara. Compositions are licensed and used with permission.

Hey, everyone! I'm the producer Chewie who wrote the album. Just wanted to say thank you for checking out the music! As a Metroid fan myself, I had a blast writing all the tracks. Thanks to GameChops (and DJ Cutman) for pushing me to make the album be what it is. Appreciate you all!

[@gitjeg3655]

Super Metroid got me hooked back in the late 90's. Loved the series since then, went to play all the other games available and I must say that it warms my heart to finally see more hoomans becoming fans.. The sound tracks were definitely one of the things I love most (got 'em on my phone for the commutes) and Samus & Chill adds a new dimension to the OST experience. So mr Chewie, you are an amazing sound wizard! Thank you for sharing musical talents with us. I wish there was a counter on the videos, I'm pretty sure I already played this video from beginning to end at least 30 times 😊 and that's not others in the "& Chill" library! Soooooo, what's next? 👊😎

I would love a synth version of these songs, just to emphasize the eeriness and mystery of the franchise (also, lofi and synth is the best study tunes, you cant change my mind)

[@angelojimenez9081]

this has been all i've listened to for the past 3 days. for studying, relaxing, and overall getting hype as hell for dread in 3 days! love the album, beautifully done!

[@NUGGet-3562]

This isn't really the kind of stuff I listen to, but I really enjoyed this. I was impressed with all the different ways you made otherwise tense action themes and dark foreboding themes sound peaceful and relaxing. I got especially excited when my boy Ridley made an appearance, because I had thought "There's no way they can make Ridley sound chill..." but you did. The chords sounded super cool, and the writing was very well done. The variations on these classic tracks were nice, and honestly the only bad thing I can say is that Ridley's theme was attributed to that disgusting excuse for a game Other M. Great job. I'll be coming back to this one.
