~ ABOUT ME
Just a boy and his vaporwave lab.
I reimagine great hits to design soundtracks.
Almost everything here is plundered.
I take some credit but keep in mind
nothing here is totally original.
#vaporwave #vaporjazz #soundtrack - Hudba
Here's the gameplay:
You have to select the right tool from your side menu (buzzer, scissors, ect) while trying to make the hair you are cutting match a picture of your customer's desired haircut. You are scored based on the speed and precision of how well you can make your client's hair match the photo. As you progress, your client's desired haircut gets more and more challenging, requiring you to do things like curl the hair or dye it different colors.
These aren't just ANY clients off the street though. Your shop is the very popular with the city's crime syndicate members!
You'll go from giving the syndicate's lowest ranking goons haircuts to giving the boss himself a haircut (final boss). These gangsters love chatting you up and being able to recount certain elements of their stories will give you trust points that add to your final score per round.
So you're both trying to give your client a haircut AND answer short, multiple choice questions that will appear while you're cutting the client's hair.
As the barber, YOU get to decide when you are done cutting the client's hair but if you mess it up too badly or take too long, you can kiss that money goodbye and it will negatively affect your reputation which is what you need to progress from level to level and improve your equipment and store.
This would totally work as a game!
It would fit very well as a yakuza minigame
That sounds so good I would play that
@@Tenebrax22my thoughts but as it's own, unique thing
I should have been a plumber!
so like papas barbershoperia?
"Came for the cover art, stayed for the ost"
IGN 1992
Such a beautiful comment in every way
ost ?
@@chadgarganta7989 This is an abbreviation for "original soundtrack"
The game really makes you FEEL like a barber. 7/10
@@chadgarganta7989Official soundtrack?
The game your parents got you thinking it was just only about cutting hair. When in reality the story involved hearing tales of the seedy underworld, suspicious characters, and criminal organizations, all from the view of one Barbershop owner in the late 70's early 80's.
When I told my mom GTA was a car game
haha that was exactly my thoughts. The game is getting repeat customers and you do it by being a good listener and know what and what not to tell to whom
@@trevjaywill387I love that
Id buy the shit out that game lol
Would have inspired an upcoming game designer that we'll never get to know.
It reminds me when i told my parents GTA 3 was only a "taxi game", because I wanted the game so bad but was too young for it.
I finally got the game, and when my parents were taking a look at me playing I was just driving slowly and carefully with good music on the radio and we all thought it was a cool game
lmao I tried the same trick but my parents didn't fall for it, I would regularly go to my best friend's house to play GTA3/Vice City/San Andreas on his PS2 and my parents didn't like that we played GTA, so we got the idea to show them GTA3 and make them think it was just a taxi game so they would allow me to have the game at home on my Xbox
Same 😂 we did anything to get what we wanted as kids
Im so glad my parents didnt give a fuc. My dad had Vice City on PC and he told me all the cheat codes when I was like 8
haha great move
@@dmwanderer9454your parents didnt love you all that much then. Just a heads up for that life shattering epiphany, whenever it shows up.
This is Borges level art: making music for a game that never even existed yet that creates an atmosphere that no 90s video game ever could.
Magical Realism!
Did not expect to find Borges connoisseurs in the comment section.
@@KGBT-PLUSMe neither haha, totally unexpected
idk about that, 90s games had some amazing atmospheres
You mean because this clearly sounds like nothing that a YM2612 could generate? This sounds like PS1 era music and technology.
The soundtrack to a game you rented like 50 times as a kid, then try to find when you grow up. But nothing even remotely matches the description of what you played back then. It was Barbershop Simulator.
🫶
what do you mean by rented?
Oooh hell ! that Block Buster must have linked to a *Parallel Universe* were this game existed 😮
@@td1751 oh I forgor
@@td1751 they were rented on redbox vendors at the Walmart until the 2010s
"High fades, high stakes." That line is burned into my brain after reading it over an over again trying to get past one of the bosses.
i remember that level
i, also remember that level
you better not fuck his shit up fam
I must have "High Fades, High Stakes" on a shirt, the afro community needs it!
That line is so catchy as hell, it needs to be on some merch promoting this for physical releases of some sorts
"No more standing in the bread line James. With your skills, we're riding these clippers straight to the top."
Fav part of the game
For some reason I'm utterly fascinated by the idea of this game that never existed. I'm imagining something like VA-11 HALL-A where you chat up your customers while giving them their regular haircut, all while a jazzy soundtrack plays in the background.
Hey I’ve never played that game or even seen gameplay but I love love love the soundtrack
And it takes place in early 80s New York
I'm sure a game like this exists
Won’t lie I clicked hoping to see some gameplay 👀
Is this a copypast just seen the exact thing from another account
Man I loved this game as a kid, even though I sucked at it. Could never get past the Jheri Curl boss.
LMAO
Some indie developer has to get on this ish NOW
same
And that one part when you’re shaving the mob boss and you cut him accidentally
now THIS made it sound like a videogame that has a right to exist LOL
the cover art totally convinced me this was a real game
lol i went looking for the "actual game" the moment i listened to the whole thing
Yeah ok LOL. The censors would've had a FIELD Day with the concept behind the cover art alone back then let alone the content it suggests😂😂😂😂. That being said I am BEYOND happy I stumbled upon this gem LOL
the music doesn't sound remotely like the sounds a sega genesis could make so that's a dead giveaway. this doesn't sound at all like a genesis soundtrack. should have said this was on sega cd, since that could use live instrument samples.
“Why dis shrimp bitin me?”
Loved that part of the game 🦐
just bought this guys entire discography on band camp for $3 what a steal
I like to think this game isn't about being a barber. It's more about trying to convince the police that you're just a barbershop while trafficking cocaine, putting hits on rivals bosses, hiring pilots to smuggle drugs and laundering the money into barbershops in the city.
All the dialogue in the game uses barbershop lingo because you never know when the DEA is listening. Maybe giving someone a fade means you're making a payment. When you're giving someone the works that means they owe money and you gotta collect.
What is the link between barbers and cocaine? Knew so many hair dressers that were into blow
@@matteightytwovery true, it fits well into the lifestyle. cash in hand, 30 minutes working and chatting, then take a break in back for a bit of talcum powder, rinse, repeat. unlike booze the barber is not likely to get sloppy and might actually have better focus, and the environment isn't too far off a pub or bar if the music is loud.
I typically don't listen to Barber Beats, but when I do, I listen to Barbershop Simulator™
You don't?
@@tartgreenapple I'm more into ambient/non-percussive stuff like Signalwave/Slushwave/Dreamy stuff.
@@thezachlambertA man of sophisticated tastes. Barber beats makes me optimistic though, I love that it’s solidifying itself and cutting its own artistic niche beneath broader vaporwave.
If we’re being honest, barber beats is just an excuse to make some sick ass cover arts. And I’m 110% all for it.
😅
And some funky tunes
all the songs here and in all barbershop beats are just copy and pasted and slowed down. Its cool tho cus it serves as a collection of those types of songs that people arent usually exposed to@@kiwisoup1
as a graphic designer, i've been tempted to make a barber beats album for exactly this reason lol
@@deal_4_real Go for it, I believe in you!
"All you had to do was follow the damn natural part, JD!" That line will always be engraved in my brain with how many times I failed that mission!
If I ever own a barbershop in downtown New York in the mid 80s I’d make sure to play this on repeat
What decade are you in now?
@@matteightytwohold on... 2053 ADZ, after the death of lord Zorganite.
Maaaannnnn...you had me on google for a solid 30 mins looking for this game. Just for me find out it's not real lol. The artwork is beautiful and very time relevant. I want to buy this in poster form and hang it up in my office. Oh and the music is sublime. Track 04 - working hard...has me in a chokehold. Thank you for the share and awesome work!!!
Hey, I really love the artwork and was wondering who made it or where we can view/buy it.
Dude same,
Did you end up finding it?
All of the barber beats makers generate their own album covers as some of them have shared.
Yeah bud, that track 4 has me locked in good ambient nostalgia
It's real in a different universe lol
@@scootabean
I wouldn't doubt it
I legit thought this was a real obscure game, good job lol
a bit worrying
Point and click adventure game where you’re the owner of a 70s barber shop in the Bronx? Somebody make this a reality, please. 😹
New York City 1981:
Still recovering from a failed, foreclosed, small business you sunk all your money into. You find yourself with a wife and newborn child unable to afford rent. Your last dollar spent buying a razor to cut your hair for an interview at a barber shop. Cigarette in mouth, you put on your black shirt and look in the mirror head tilted. You admire your once thought useless talent now turned career.
The first month goes by with a breeze. You over hear various conversations until one strikes your ear about a stash of stolen TV’s that’s going to be resold. Another about a dealer selling luxury cars you could start with a spoon.
You’re 25. You decide it’s time to stop being poor. Forever. You turn to a life of crime using the conversations you hear. Shift ends in 5 and Rozzy said there was an unlocked black caddy down the street.
Welcome to the barber shop.
My wife’s name is Roslyn but I call her Rozzy❤
"A new Day" invokes a special feeling. I love it.
This puerto-rican girl in high school was really cute but also really shy. Somehow we ended up speaking about video games and we became really good friends. She came over after a few months and I told her I had a Genesis, so she bought some games with her. It was a friday afternoon. In the stack of games she had, she picks 'Barber Shop Simulator'. I fell in love with the game, we played for at least 5 hours but we wanted to beat the game in one night, so I asked my parents if she could stay over and they said yes. We paused the game around midnight to listen to the song at 5:22. We were both bopping our heads with our eyes closed. I had such a crush on her. So I decided to be brave for once in my life, and reached for her hand. She looked at me, got closer, and I was kissing a woman for the first time. We kissed until the sun rised with the music looping in the background. We saved the game, shut down the console and ate the breakfast with my parents downstairs. She left with the cartridge. And with a smirk she says that she would come back to 'finish what we started'. I thought about her the whole week-end.
Next Monday, she's nowhere to be seen at school. I ask the principal about her. And he simply tells me that her and her family had to leave the city.
I never heard about her or about the game ever since.
delulu
Wonderful 😮
bro thats incel psycho shit
You forgot to put “in the Twilight zone”
DAM THAT SUCKS...I KNOW U THINK ABOUT HER ALOT BRO
This, ladies and gentlemen, is what they call a vibe.
Track 3 for sure 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Helllll yeah
d@@kuey_v The first time the trumpet entered, it made me make a little shout. Real nice track!
giving fades while faded
The artistic concept behind this is tight man
This would be more Sega CD than Genesis, cool music 🙂
Only on the 32X haha
I need a developer teaming up with slowerpace and creating this game in a retro visual style. It'll be a masterpiece.
after this they will definitely be working on a game sound track soon
Exclusively on PS1/Emulator
Sega CD style with early polygonal 3d.
No
Remember that mission Johnny asks for a drawing on the side, probably one of the hardest missions ever, like the plane one in gta
I remember playing this as a kid, never got tired of giving buzzcuts!
The story, animation, and music were way ahead of its time. I loved the vacation special stages personally.
this game doesnt exist, twat
i loved giving people horrible haircuts and watching them demand to see the manager
We had the limited run arcade stall in my town arcade as a kid. Only got to play it a couple of times before it got decommissioned. At the time I didn’t think much of it but the music stuck with me to this day. Found out how they only made a few of em when I got older and wished I’d played it more. Underrated classic!
🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
I just purchased your entire discography, sir. You are one of my favorite vaporwave artists. And the only vaporwave artist I've ever seen who lets the listeners know which artists you sample from. Not only do we get to enjoy your wonderful taste in music, but you lead us to the originals so we can hear even more from them. Truly one of a kind, and you have my deepest gratitude and respect for that. Thank you for sharing your music with us. :)
Thank you very much 🙏
@AlfredMorganAllen on youtube itself.. in description
@AlfredMorganAllen He doesn't give a one for one tracklisting, but he does give in the description who he samples from.
"Credits for Sound For Production, Man in a Room, Timewarp Inc, Tosca, Down To The Bone, Audio Lotion, Adani, Moodorama, Francesco Demegni"
Those are all the people these tracks are from. You'll have to look through each artist's work to find the originals, but at least he shows you where to look. His Bandcamp pages are the same way.
I love when people do that, cuz then I can see how well they've used the sample
Oh he credits sampled artists too?? Instant W, I might buy some stuff off of his discography myself
I remember after playing this game I started using hair gel and wearing a black leather jacket to school. At one point I even tried to give all my friends at school haircuts during recess. Me and my friend Andre would relive our barbershop fantasy and smoke candy ciggarettes and talk about which girls we wanted to date and what guys we were gonna jump after school. Wow this really brought back a lot of memories thanks so much. I think I am gonna get the sega genesis out for my son tonight and show him a truly magical game.
You are so corny ngl
we've got the soundtrack, now we just need the game
Cracks me up everytime i hear my favorite old LTJ Bukem Earth tracks in barber beats form
Honestly it's such a cool concept of a game. Sega genesis styled 2d side-scroller with a little world exploration that is interrupted by haircut minigames where you can talk to characters for some world exposition all while this music plays in the background...
That would be so great if someone could make it
Ice Cube could make a cameo.
Sounds boring af
@@richterbelmont5506😂😂😂😂
This & Madden '92 are the two best Sega Genesis games ever
Could imagin' this both as a movie, a series, but of course also as a click-and-point-adventure. Especially like the "Special Client" track, very evocative, could be a track for the slickest cat in town or the mobster kingpin - the stakes are high!
CZcams algorithm just keeps getting better and better. Thanks for uploading this!
Yeah, we fucked.
I vividly remember in the later stages of the game you'd have lines out of the door, and that inevitable anxiety you'd feel when the working day ended and they'd all leave the shop with the angry emote bubble above their heads.
This is so wonderfully old school internet radio downtempo vibes. Top Tier dood.
I work in a large town hall, where the offices date back to the 70s and resemble the liminal aesthetics of back rooms. There, I sometimes get the impression that time takes longer to pass. And listening to this album in this environment, I promise you, is really something mystical!
I believe u
I am oddly jealous you get to experience that aesthetic
I put this on and then started to draw, and forgot what I was listening to, then at about 25 minutes in I said, yo this is a banger what the heck is this?! then I changed tabs and realized I was jamming to BARRBERSHOP SIMULATOR
I’m hearing vaporwave meets Boards of Canada …and a really unique concept . Diggin’ it.
hahaha wtf I just spent 15 minutes trying to figure out where the hell I could find gameplay footage or info on this game only to realize it doesn't exist. Well done!
And it has a million views. Is this an alternate universe?
Don’t get tripped up on the level that Gene’s calls out sick and you have to cut his VIP client’s hair. Do not cut his hair! Use the pick and fluff out his fro. He’ll leave a crazy tip💰🫶🏾 lol love this mix
That's one of the coolest covers I've seen in a while. And the music is just as good. Well done!
Who made that shit?
AI fed with 70s movie posters and a Grace Jones portrait, probably @@tartgreenapple
Myself in photoshop, with some illustrations found on Pinterest
@@slowerpacegoat
@@donnieka696 If it was AI, it would've been terrible and very noticeable.
Frizzy, yet smooth.
Heavy Hotline Miami with a mixture of VA-11 HALL-A vibes, truly a masterpiece.
This takes me back. Memories of my little brother pointing and clicking over and over again. We had the plug in scissors like in the arcade version.
Billy Idol must be a boss/hard customer in this game
That album cover really captures the imagination.
I started listening to this, after getting home from work, while it's POURING rain outside and for some reason......this 'soundtrack' music perfectly encapsulates that feeling
Apparently this is one of Kojima's top ten favourite games
Everytime I listen to this amazing album, I notice the view count has gone up by thousands and its only been out a short while. This is a real modern day classic.
This soundtrack is dope af! Only thing I would say is that Sega Genesis wouldn't be capable of producing tunes like this. If Barbershop Simulator were a real game, it would have definitely been on the Sega CD.
'Special Client' is such a damn good tune. I love the fuzz and grime of it, it's almost like a funk song but just made slow and dirty
This soundtrack made me want to shave. Great art!
these tunes are perfect for suave times with your favorite lover; maybe too sensual for a barbershop, maybe perfect for the most sensual barbershop ever
Barbershop simulator 2: sensual lover
uuh you add the spanish in there
real hand music
this game and music changed my life, ever since I completed my first mission as a little boy, I've wanted to open a barbershop one day. and last year i finally did it guys! thank u so much for uploading this, now I can live the game in real life. the dream comes true!!!
I dunno if anyone has mentioned it yet, but the cover art for this is perfect and fits the time.
It's time for some REAL hairdressing rad madness! Blast your way through 18 high intensity 16-bit levels with all the raw power you could ever imagine in the palm of your hands! Play on, and play with style, from crimp to mullet, only on the Sega Genesis! SEGA!!!
Wish this was on spotify
Just use CZcams to mp3 converter. You can download it that way. It will all be one track most likely.
I wish this came out on Super Nintendo. I was only able to play this at my friends house because he had a Sega. Every Saturday this was my jam
This absolutely feels like a game ATLUS would have made.
I'm working at an office, and I play this mix like a mantra to stay cool
Living the dream my man.
This is not a real game soundtrack but entirely made by slowerpace? wow this is incredible, what a blessing to find this channel.
The best YT recommendation I've received this year. I know it's only March, but still.
This album is groovy as hell. As someone who’s big into plunderphonics and Vaporwave and old videogames, this itches my ears, eyes, and brain in a way that I cannot describe yet that is oh so sublime. This feels like something out of that obscure game category- always something pre-2000 that was extremely obscure and tough to find, and yet when you do, it’s like striking gold. It’s not finding a cheapy game with no soul in it that sold how it did because it played like ass and was poorly made; it’s finding a game that, despite being a virtual treasure, just never made it off the shelves very much, even with the love, passion, and soul of a small team of developers who wanted to make art. The essence of rediscovering a game like that is how this album feels.
Damn fine work, slowerpace. You earned yourself a subscriber. Cheers 🍻

This really does have that old video game background feel to it
One of the greatest games on the Genesis!
What people don't know about this game is that there was an unlock for the maintenance closet near mid-game which was the inspiration for Silent Hill; it was almost like two games in one even though the combat in that area didn't really work with the Barber Engine
One of your most creative covers & thorough productions.
Definitely vinyl worthy.
special client just does it for me. The track just screams "BIG BUSINESS." I even looked up the original, but it absolutely kills in this form
This music just takes you there… it’s unexplainable, it’s like it separates you from this chaotic world we living in. If social media never existed I would wana find this music randomly in the middle of nowhere 🔥
Those screenshoots are so cute!
I've listened to this more times than I can count. I NEED this on vinyl.

a new day ❤
As it happens... this album also works really well in the "build your deck" section of literally ANY Yugioh game. Genius work
This is legitimately the only perfect piece of music I have ever heard.
When I saw this link in my feed last year, I was immediately roped in by the art, seeing that it had the Sega logo on the bottom right. Then came the search engine forays to see when this game came out, only to find out from a college radio station site that this was a concept album with a confluence of jazz, hip-hop, and other styles of music. As other comments below summarize, this "non-existing game" music album has been a great vehicle of musical enjoyment. Not only it is a fun album to listen to, but I as the listener can imagine the various scenes/modes of the videogame that are tied with each track.
BarberShop Simulator... I love the concept 😂😂😂
😎
It's awesome that this masterpiece has passed one million views. Here's to another million 👏😎🎧🎶
thank you
you're actually a musical genius. The quality of the sounds is unreal. Amazing work
It's all music by other artists slowed down lol
@@St_Rizla 👍
@@St_Rizla it's 2023...at least he slowed it down
The OST is phenomenal! Although, it gives off a more late 90’s/ Millenial game sound imo but I would love to be in a universe where Sega Genesis titles had this kind of music played on their consoles.
This fake game has had a complete hold on my mind as of recent. It’s really fascinating to think of the era you based it on and how you scored it. I can truly envision the entire game. It’s scary almost. Lol amazing job.
I would describe the longer less jazzy tracks on this album as 'Trip Hop' Has a distinct Massive Attack vibe especially Haircut Experts. New Day and Vacation Mode On are pure beach sunset tracks, and evoke the likes of Zero 7, bliss level stuff.
And as for the engineered nostalgia this is god level. My world becomes a 'blusescale' pixel art rainy night drive every time I put this on and let it play and I thank slowerpace for nailing that so hard it's embarrassing.
Can't stop coming back to this, so damn smooth. It just fits with the summer heat
Special Client is unreal, what a great track 😮
This makes me imagine the scenery of 90s city at night, full of people with the cool afro hairstyle, with their cool cars, just wander around and hanging out with this music being played. Really cool stuff. I hope you get more recognition in the future, this is amazing art from the cover itself and of course the music.
This gives on par nostalgia vibes to me thinking about when I would watch Cowboy Bebop over and over when I was 21 lol
literally me
johnny slick knows the dew, three flowers on top, a splash of coolwater and keys to continental. The inner city night is hungry for skin in the game...
I love this. Every time I listen, I try to imagine what might be happening in game. ✂️
No barber for bald men.
As a barber I can confirm that this album accurately conveys how my workday feels
So glad I clicked on this hidden gem 🎼💎🌃
If you’re wondering the car in the pic is a MKV Continental Town Coupe, one of the flyest looking rides of all time..✌️
This truly is a masterpiece. "staff meeting" is an awesome beat.
