I feel Retro is the best fit for ShieldUp by some margin. Both track 2 and 4 would work great as a theme for the often teased Krupa cooking show.

Alexander Mulhern

Lucid Light sounds the most like what I'd expect an advice podcast's theme tune to be. I like Big, it's got serious funk. Maybe for an After Hours special?

Joe Edwards

Golden Crates sounds too much like an outro only.

Jake Tyler Howry

Agreed it doesn't get me pumped like Retro or Crates but I can easily see it playing over credits

Max Dewyngaert

I love Golden Crates, it’s got such a funky sound with a lot going on. They are all very good though. I like Big but I feel it might be a little too slow, more like love making music

Steve Wood

Gotta be Retro Night Ride or Afternoon Delight.

In 2034, in the wake of the RKG wars, historians and combatants alike see the selection of the new theme for Shield Up being the Spark that literally set the world on fire. No really, 44% of the earth was on fire from 2023 until the autumn of 2024. Sides where chosen and friendships were dissolved over the simple urge to spruce up the best podcast on the internet.

Strapped sounds like the theme for the (every) JRPG beach/resort village.

Austin Roeper

Big and Golden are Lo-fi tunes that absolutely fit the super chill podcast vibe and would match well with Gavs lovely intro, could sound a bit like some NPR. But, Retro Night Ride is a banger so hearing that all the time won't make me upset

Charlotte S

I will miss singing along to the old outro but Retro Night Ride sounds like a lovely replacement.

Lady Vengeance

Where’s Cats and Gameboys? Big missed opportunity.

Karine Bélair

I was all for Lucid Lights but then kept saw the results, honestly and had to make myself listen to every one again and totally changed my mine another 2 times haha. Voted for Retro now. The song as a whole is perfect, whereas Lucid Lights I good and similar to the current song in the middle.

Karine Bélair

Will this also be changing the credits song for videos?

Lucid Lights - an old person's ringtone. Maybe good for Gav but not for the younger lads. Get it out. Golden Crates - Absolutely perfect - if you're making a time lapse of your latest pastel drawing. You don't go from some guy wiping snot on his socks to this tune. Minging. Retro Night Ride - In a sci-fi remake of Rocky, this is the tune they stick on the robot protagonist's training montage. Banger. Big - Maybe it's called Big because picking this over Retro Night Ride would be a big mistake? It's a good tune, but clearly inferior to ROBOT MONTAGE. Strapt - this is what your accountant has on in the background when he's trying to figure out what the hell you lads have been doing with the money. You're not accountants. Get it out. It's a clear victory for #3 - Retro Night Ride. Thank me later.

Ryan Kowdley

Retro night ride is great but it's way more appropriate for a Retry credits scene. Golden crates is best for non cheesy chat. #5 is cool in a tiki lounge kind of way. #1 is hopeful, so that would be my #2 after crates.

rkg

No, we have a new Credits song that the 3 of us chose together and it's a lovely little banger.

rkg

Nice to see the love for Crates!

rkg

Someone described it as the "theme tune to Barry White's podcast". Which we'll absolutely take.

rkg

Nice to see the love for Big aka The Sexy Time Podcast theme.

rkg

This is absolutely bang on.

rkg

We absolutely love how much thought you've put into this. LOVE it.

Jacob

So split between Golden crates and Retro.

Björn Ekstorm

Retro for Shield Up, Big for the Cocktail Hour!

Tim

Lucid Light reminds me of being a kid, with a small AM radio, searching for something mellow to fall asleep to. I love it, but they're all worthy contenders for the RKG brand.

Will Widdi

I loved golden crates but retro night ride just hits the right notes.

MKFreigeist

Haha damn.. I liked the retro one but I thought it's not as timeless as the more jazzy Big :) but there Really are no bad choices.

Kevin Gaddy

I turned "moment in the sunset" into my ring tone, so when I get spam calls at least I can enjoy the ringer. Gonna miss it but I would have to go with...lucid light. My lovely Fiancé prefers Retro.

Lady Vengeance

So busy at work this week I didn’t have a chance to listen to the options. Much less vote. Hope you Slugs chose wisely 😂
