- This is Midnight Club 2 (PC Game) main menu music. I uploaded this because there is only one upload of this music, and it has problems with sound at the begining. You can find this music in Midnight Club DVD/AutoPlay/Audio/Menu music.wav
I added this music 10 times due to it's short duration (~1min.)
Enjoy :)
This theme made illegal street racing feel underground and dangerous.
Never got that feeling again.
Seriously.
Agreed
yea Idk what it is about this song but they just nailed it
Think need for speed took the market, I mean I'm all for a new midnight club the story mode is what made it, anyone can have a whip even if it's a banger 0-60 three seconds
This comment felt kinda cringy but still got goosebumps loved the games dark feeling
15 plus years later and still no game has ever given me that dark, mysterious yet exciting feel like MC2 did. This game will go down in history as a masterpiece.
i legit can't explain the feelings that i have when i remember playing this game..absolute favourite
Considering the present state of arcade racing, you, me and all of us probably never will experience anything like this again. It’s just a 2000s thing never gonna come back.
Rockstar needs to remaster this
@@SaiKrishna-yq1ho i wish it was cyclical like fashion lol. 90's fashion and early 2000's styles coming back too bad in games its not.
Ik this isnt a new game but I get that feeling too when I play Need For Speed Undercover. Especially have a listen to the map music in the game or garage music. Creepy but kinda cool
This period from the end of the 90s to the beginning of the 2000s was one of the most notable times in this regard, mysterious, industrial and electronic vibe.
Games like Midnight Club 2, GTA 3, FEAR, Metal Gear Solid 2, Halo, Max Payne, Deus EX... Films like: Fight Club, Matrix, Ghost In The Shell had this.
This game's music perfectly represents this vibe, and complementing it even further, the trip hop music genre is what best fits this.
I miss that mysterious vibe in entertainment in general in the late 90s and early 2000s...
I love it too. I know exactly what you're talking about. I just naturally gravitate towards entertainment with this level of atmosphere. I want to bring it back.
The 2000s and 90s was the best video game era of all time nothing can top it I mean yeah we have some cool stuff now for future consoles but back then it was nonstop action of video game fun these days tho companies prioritized themselves rather then care about their customers like they use to back then
Early 2000s atmosphere.
The good old days 👊🏼 now everything is corrupt , they dont make them this badass anymore in this pussy generation
I miss when game menu's atmospheres went this hard for no reason
This is probably the most mesmerizing menu theme ever. Nostalgia hits hard too
I swear
If you have not heard it, a new genre is emerging based on thse kind of sounds. Check out 'Tel aviv' by SKELER

This is funny. I had this song in my library already. I heard it on a radio I listen to. But it's not Midnight Club 2 music, sorry. It's Need for Speed 2016 music.
Midnight Club 2 music is dub techno - type stuff.
The song you mentioned is Future garage - ish.
@@WhirlingMusic its not to do with the sound track but this particular theme menu sound
@@voidlight6006
Okay. Yeah. I just don't hear it. This main menu theme is just TOO original and unique.
To be a kid on a PS2 with a limited scope of the world, and this is all you are immersed in. The serious tone of being a street racer. What an illustration.
The *cartoonish yet dark future* vibe this game had is mesmerising. Ghost in the Shell x Gran Turismo vibes. I can't explain it but miss it terribly.
I know exactly what you mean. Its just something you had to be there to experience.
@@adonyestimon4392 hundred percent. I felt like I was sitting *inside* my console at midnight every time I played
@@btr4yd That would do it.
@@btr4yd wow, beautiful analogy.
Yeah, the millennium was a beautiful time to be alive.
Probably the chillest main menu screen I've ever heard in a video game.
Race driver grid has the chillest but this is ahead of its time
@@killakam123321 Shift 2 was pretty cool too
@@killakam123321 True.
You ever hear Assassins Creed 3 Multiplayer Music?
@@einseinsfunf5159
I just now heard it.. it sounds like you're about to get ready to fight transformers lol
This was it. Zooming into the dark atmosphere of this game by listening to this menu music. seeing the loading screen with the gas station and underneith the turning japanese signs and the MC2 logo - fcking scary for a 10 year old. Also some heartpounding techno songs were scary if you concern that this game had only a restriction for kids under twelve years. R* never achieved this Atmosphere again.
+Hazardiousmatze I miss thoose times too...
we must revive these times it's nothing in 2016
jacob Rand it's impossible, nowadays Devs are just after money, they make a shit game or just milk a franchise (call of duty, battlefield). Very sad.
EnhancedMatrix12 racing games are not fun anymore, they lost their touch
NFS Beast I sort of agree. Rarely can a racing game nowadays feel new and advanced, different from any others. MC2 will never be able to be replicated. It was a huge step ahead for any other racing games at the time, with the amazing gameplay and deep-in-detail character cutscenes. Forza Horizon 1 was a step ahead too, it broke away from the Motorsport games, since they were stuck on the racetrack after street racing started to die off. Open-world racing became more populated. Even though, Horizon 3 doesn't feel special now, because there were so many games that copied it, and so many sequels to the original Horizon. The thing is, nobody can duplicate the work Rockstar put into this artwork of a videogame. It is sort of sad, really. Anything game-related in general. We've found VR for gaming, but where can we go after this? Holograms? Things started with Pong, and now we have virtual reality. Where are racing games going to go? That's the thing- there is really nowhere else to go with this genre. The same type of racing game keeps on being created. Nothing new for a change comes. No new turn in the racing genre has happened in plenty of years. Some developer needs to take a step up, and make a change. Maybe even, that can be Rockstar with Midnight Club 5, which is a necessity for us Midnight Club fans.
Mauro Fiore was the lead designer of the game (who later got oscar for his cinematograpy work in Avatar) and Terry Donovan for the soundtracks (a founder member of rockstar games). Bless them they made a very unique experience.
You got the wrong Mauro Fiore, the Mauro who worked on MC2 (and MC3 and Red Dead Redemption 1) is a different Mauro from the one who got an Oscar.
Lmaoo I’m like wtf is he talking about. A game designer becomes a cinematographer? What lol?
Damn this is timeless. I automatically got the visual of the menu screen in my head like it was yesterday. I was 21 at the time. 20yrs went by like a flash. Enjoy your youth and take full advantage of it youngins!
Oh man! I was 5yrs old when MC2 dropped, I got it for my birthday the year it came out. Blew me away then, still love it now!!
Rockstar smashed it with this one, they were so sick during the early 2000’s era.. i wish they kept Midnight Club going as a rival to NFS.
Good Old Days 👊🏼
@@hiphop90s98 makes me want a PS2 bad
@@187Blondie hell yeah i still got my ps2 slim it is so sad and so pathetic how games are these days like since 2013 games and in general people changed in my opinion like these times of today are so lame and we dont get games like that anymore cause these new school developers of today dont respect their roots basically the old school stuff anymore also most of these people who work at the companys these days have absolutly zero clue on how games should be made even if you just listen to those lame ass soundtracks from games these days its so pathetic and then everything is monotized like gta 5 and red dead 2 i dont even bother playing them anymore rockstar fucked up bigtime with their bullshit that they are doing nowdays i go back to the old school era atleast in those days of the early 2000s game developers had atleast honor and cared about people and not just about money and reputation , what in gods hell happened to this world
Speaking facts
@@hiphop90s98 100% agree with you my friend, so sorry it took me a year to respond, the worlds going to shit, hope you’re still here!
I never even played this game. I always heard my brother playing it and the tune was always so deep and dark in the right way. March of 2018 and I'm still listening.
Venus You have to play it is AWESOME
Yeah, you should play it! its a fun racing game, one of the best midnight clubs imo. i always love the menu theme of this game, i remember as a kid just scrolling through the select car menu just to hear the engine rev with this playing in the background. epic! i still play it to this day, i have it as a ps2 classic on my ps3. :)
Also just to let you know the game is extremely fucking hard
@@mxnibaaka4609 Midnight Club deserves a reboot
@@estevan10189 yes it should definitely
So simple yet so perfect. No racing game ever tops this. The feeling in the 2000s of turning this game on, no feeling can replicate it
20 year anniversary of this game. I still play it every now and then to scratch that nostalgic itch.
When somone visits me, i like to turn on all my rgb room lights to blue and purple and let this music run in a loop. Then i leave to pick someone up at the trainstation, and when we come back, open the door to my appartment and enter, theres is such a cool atmosphere. I just love this tune as background music. I even remember when i was a kid and got the demo of it, i just let the menu run, while i was preparing for school. My top 3 songs of my life are Big Wednesday by Freeland, Cure for the itch by Linkin Park and this gem.
Wow thanks for the inspiration
You sound just like me, I love to create a cool atmosphere/vibe. I'm all about vibes
Very cool. Thank u for sharing. Having a video game menu or song in your top 3 is pretty interesting I’d say lol
If someone were to ask me what my child hood was like, id simply say Midnight Club 2. and well ratchet and clank 1...lol. too much nostalgia, now im the one actually sitting in my real supra driving around listening to this theme song on the stereo...very strange feeling, its as if the game came to life.
ant wow lucky you, congrats man
Omg ratchet and clank 1 was the best one
Is she still moving? 🙈
@@TheN1H1LL good question 🤔
The early 2000's was an odd time to say the least...
Thank you so much you guys… Even after 20 years this music is still giving its vibe ✨😎✨.
Are you the original composer/producer for the BGM?
@@nathanmarlin6498 Yes - I worked with Rockstar here in San Diego to create several versions of the game theme and menu music.
Thank you for creating one of the most memorable pieces of music from my childhood 🙏
@@DavidHelplingOfficial thankyou for a such a beautifully atmospheric and timeless composition 👌
@@starboy.76 You're so welcome!
Best menu design to this day, the music, the gui, the button sounds... I wish this style and flavour would come back in modern games
So bone chilling, driving through the streets of LA, Paris, and Tokyo; all in a race to become the best, whilst cops are on your tail chasing you, the other racers are crashing through the city park and the chapel, or perhaps through a tunnel system, all while traffic is in a panic. Eventually, through a few more seconds of hard execution of racing, you find yourself at the finish line first, left only to watch the other racers fly from a hill down to you as a final charge for second place.
Truly, this is the most intense street racing game ever made, with what must be the greatest atmosphere in a racing game ever. Few games can even come close to the insane pressure that is racing in the streets with other racers facing the harsh environment that is the busy streets of famous cities with traffic at an all time high.
Preach.
Well said. Fantastic game... Those Paris tunnels on a motorbike were the highlight for me
You just made a poem about a racing game...wow,are you fine dude?
@@arthur547 idk, It was just something I did.
@@uccidere1939 bruh,the only thing i know is that i loved it :)
Used to leave the game on menu to let the song play
I still do.

Fucking sick
I wish they did a remake of this game. Quality like this is almost impossible to find now
I remember playing this Game when i was 8 and i know everybody is Connecting something with this Game. The Nostalgic and the early 2000s Techno Songs gave an unforgetable and „dark‘‘ atmosphere.
I’m not crying we’re all crying from this nostalgic menu song.
I have never played Midnight Club II, but I feel like memories of things that never happened resurfaced with this music. I can feel my subwoofer loves this music too 😈❤🔥
Gonna transfer my nostalgia to you my friend enjoy, I’m old don’t how much time I got left 🤣💀
The first two midnight club games had soo much atmosphere and vibe. Dark and mysterious that no other game R* really achieved. This was An amazing game for an amazing era
I wish I could experience something else, a movie, a game, that gives me the feeling this game did. It's like its own genre.
I know exactly what you mean. Games like and several films I've seen really inspired me to draw again. I want to bring this style back.

all the midnightclub clubs games were amazing, but 2 has a dark nostalgia around it, i remember playing that game at 2/3 in the morning when i was younger and man.. something about this game is just so dark and it made it perfect
I got chills the moment it started! You have no idea how nostalgic this is for me! This game was my childhood
I miss being able to hit the pedestrians.
Especially the ones in porter potties, "HEY SOMEONE'S IN HERE!"
@@DaDualityofMan haha Reminds me of a Mission in GTA San Andreas where you bury a man in a porta Potty under concrete (:
@@litgamer0081 Lol, I forgot I made this comment
" *HUMUNA HUMUNA HUMUNA* "

Best racing game ever
Aug 2021, still can't get rid of this music
I don't know how, but I just get an overwhelming sense of loneliness whenever I play Cruise. No matter how much traffic, no matter how many pedestrians, I always feel... alone.
Man this song.....
Good times.
s4mr not really that long 15 years prop
This game is and it will ever be the best racing game that you could ever play. It's a game where everything is perfect! Such a masterpiece. Still waiting till this day for Rockstar to remaster this with the same music and same style. Wonderful game.
Nostalgia even in 2016
Word.
Indeed.
DanteLicious yep
The higher the year, the higher nostalgia.
2017 ✌🏼️
Chilling in a dark room, playing with this on a small magnovox tv screen. Even if it was a load screen, it felt intense. 🕶️
This is a legend
The Good old days 👊🏽 Nowadays Rockstar is a bunch of Snowflakes who only wanna squeeze money out of this new generation of sheeps At the time when they made Midnight Club 2 their were still Men enough to give us what we want but look at them now nothing more but a bunch of pussys also by the way Vito Scaletta The Legend 👊🏽🇮🇹
Where's Joe?
@@LucasHenrique-fu9ok Joe wasn't part of the deal
Ah the memories, the nostalgia and music is so soothing.
2021 this track till this day brings the dark atmosphere and at same time very stylish. Gives me chiils every time, this song represents how undergound street racing scene really is... it is mysterious, sensual, entrancing but dark and dangerous overall... What a game it was and what a song this is...
Rockstar needs to remaster this ASAP.
But then better than the gta triology 🤣
They give a hint to develop another MC. But it's still a rumor.
@@theraiden9631 Hope the menu is like this one.
Soundtrack was ahead of it's time I swear !!
one of the best racing games ever
Crazy which memories i get when i hear music from Midnight Club 2
Nostalgia and i love it
Dude I forget how badass this menu was for this game, Im glad I found this song again I miss these old ps2 vibes
the good old days when rockstar games still used to be badass nowdays they only have wathered down pussys working at that studio who want to make money by using people , pathetic
This song Just hits so much harder when played at night with The windows down
Nostalgia hits so hard even in 2021, this one still remain a purr masterpiece... ☯️

I really love MC2, but this music makes me feel that I'm going through the memory's graveyard, where i was younger and happier. And that feel is so heavy
Man the shift from MC1 to MC2 was done perfectly, the music and style really took center stage in this one. Still awesome all these years later, I still get chills off this theme.
Let me fix your comment. ( THIS SONG SOUNDS LIKE THE WORLD IS PUT IN A STREET RACING GAME THAT ENDS DARK SCARY SAD AND DEADLY
The dark dangerous yet exciting feeling you get from this. There's nothing like it :)
I barely remember this game, I think I only played the first 30-40 minutes of it, but I still remember this song, I want to replay this sometime.
the nostalgia omgg
When i listening this Music... I see how old im... Im crying :'(....
I still play it till this day on my ps2 😌
Same here bro. Despite it being an extremely hard game that makes me rage a lot, it's still a fantastic game.

Midnight club 2 was so nostalgic, each character you meet had their own theme and each city had it's own vibe
I get the chills every time when i hear this song as a PlayStation 2 player, I'll never forget playing midnight club 2 around 5am at 19 years old during quarantine days.
Since 2003, i played and replayed it. THIS THEME IS FREAKING LEGENDARY. Who made it ?
Well, it was released by Electronic Entertainment Expo 3. Composer was David Helpling if I recall. This music was a gift for this game developers.
I played so many demo versions of random games around that time, but very few have freaking MENU MUSIC that hits in the nostalgia as hard as this
You hear it and you know - night time, mysterious, quiet but tense, calm before the storm
Anyone playing this in 2019? Just finished the game again. For the 100th time haha
im playing it now . this game is my favourite
Just did another play through 2023
Menu music was something else. Shit be vibing.
Yea. When i think of those times i always shed a tear.
song gives of major Rom di Prisco vibes
especially from Quantum Singularity
Back when video games had such an allure and aura! It will never be the same again, it was great while it lasted :(
I agree dude. The games now are great but back then they really nailed the atmosphere and tone because the graphics and mechanics were more limited then.
@@AustinDallasPictures it still happens but it's quite rare now. Deus Ex: Human Revolution and the Mirror's Edge games really get their atmospheric angle nailed on. Some of the greatest soundtracks and most perfect vibes in games that I've felt.
But then you get into the gameplay and all that, for the most part, takes a back seat. There's no creepy aura to games that much anymore. Driver 3 had it. Midnight Club had it. I think we're just too advanced now... or we've grown up and we think differently towards it now.
With these older games you always had the feeling of something hidden underneath, a secret or something there. Midnight Club 2 gave you the feeling of a story not being told to you and this main menu theme captures that. The game is ghostly.
@@dave93xthe graphics back then we’re already good enough to make these types of games that everybody wanted to play anyway the best times in gaming forever
@@bryanwolenski205 of course they were great for the time but the depth and polish is just on a whole new level now. Not much is covered up for the sake of technical limitations. You see a mountain, you go and climb it and complete objectives on it.
Back in the day on games of this era you felt way more satisfaction and satisfaction when you jumped on a building or unlocked a secret. Even Tony Hawk's and the secrets in that felt special. It probably lasted for me until halfway through the 360/PS3 era.
@@dave93x I agree but I just feel it was way more special then compared to now
The most atmospheric racing game ever made. LA, Paris & Tokyo being only at dusk/dawn and night, the chill techno tracks, the staggering detail of the maps, the cartoonish cast that each had a soundtrack song as their theme.
As far as street racing games go this was pure *chefs kiss*
Shame MNC3 didn't have a similar style and presentation
Ahh this menu song, was looking for it and finally found it. #nostalgia for 2018.
After i finished the game in April of 2022, Midnight Club 2 turned into one of my favorite and best racing games ever, i enjoyed to this game more than Midnight Club 3, i get addicted to the soundtrack, i loved the dark and serious early 2000s racing atmosphere, the story with every rival cutscene, the cars selection and his sound effects, the sound effects, what a great game! I never managed to finish the game when i played for first time in 2008-2009.
Absolutely still the hardest menu music of any game.
I never played this game and i love this track already
I bought this game day 1 from Circuit City with my Pops. I was 11 years old, RIP Pops
So many memories come up... I played this game during my childhood years and even after that. This was probably one of my favorite games and this song is just brilliant, I used to stay in the menu just to listen to it, the deepness of the song still sends chills. Awesome game and awesome memories, the song is just beautiful.
Best racing game ever made imo and all I usually play is racing games
The best music nice dark pads very atmospheric ;) rockstar for life
Together with GTA IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony probably my favorite title screen/loading screen music!
Nathan Benzo Music Agreed
The chills all over my body. my hair stood up.. this is just E.P.I.C!
This was my first midnight club no lie
jean1999 I miss this game so much.
Oh my god me too! This game has brought me to a car world and became a car guy. So proud of MC2
Ducati 916, such a good looking bike
And the Abflug Supra as well
This song used to pump me up and set my vibe to racing mode. Imagining sitting in a supped up and sick looking race car with nos ready to shift into 6th gear. This game played hard. Best was driving against traffic on the highway mad skillz
What happened to the part that went "ready to race?"
this is an another theme
this is the cutted and looped version from that ost.
Bruh i loved this game so much i remember playing this for the last time 4 years ago😭💔
Last time i played it was like 8 years ago and i miss it
I love this game. Raging and screaming at the final boss race and having fun spending the time using the machine gun and rockets cheat shooting the pedestrians and running them over. So nostalgic
Awww, the memories are flooding back! I remember going around to my brother's when he'd come down from Liverpool and we'd fuck around with the missiles and the machine gun from the rimbuk cheat while thundering around LA.
I miss those times.
i miss this game so much haha im so glad i still have it
Street Racing games are missing this vibe lately.....the whole atmosphere felt under ground and illegal with risks on the line. Get out there do the race then get lost before cops get on you. Miss that tension
I was looking through the soundtrack and completely forgot the hypnotic and nostalgic game menu music. It was like a completely different world
All the hairs on my body just spiked . Music really is a time machine
From the bottom of my universe, thank you for this.

Somewhere in my dvd shelf I have it too :) And I'm still proud to have it :P
I keep coming back to this video, as I now don’t own a copy of it nor a ps2. But damn the fucking memories this theme brings me, I would sometimes just stay at the menu screen to hear this piece! Back when I was kid around 7. gosh do I miss those moments. Now I see myself how I’m growing older.....
The game was on Steam until a while ago. They took it off and now the keys sell for a stupid price. Best to just pirate it
The memories man..
who else thinks the box art for midnight club 1 & 2 is so cool and distinguished
