Press release:
July 9th, Los Angeles, USA.
The US-based indie games developer Kluge Interactive today announced with great delight and excitement that they have just released the “Caravan Palace Music Pack” DLC for their freestyle dancing VR rhythm game’s “Synth Riders” and “OhShape“.
The Caravan Palace Music Pack aims to be a delight for fans who enjoyed Electro Swing Essentials in Synth Riders and all the swingy songs in OhShape. Be sure to put on your dancing shoes for some of Caravan Palace’s best known, high energy hits, such as “Lone Digger” and “Rock it For Me” – hugely influential for the electro swing genre they helped define – and finish the night with the dreamy, optimistic pop chaser that is “Miracle.”
“We hope that players will fall in love with the Experience that comes with this pack. It’s a great introduction to the Caravan Palace’s world, with a retro-futuristic universe, many references to swing, and even our signature robot!” said Caravan Palace band members.
Synth Riders supplies the Music Pack with a brand new “Experience” for the song “Wonderland.” It’s a hand-crafted animation inspired by and matched perfectly to the track that creates a truly unique, immersive way to experience music. OhShape will welcome players with a new Stage inspired by the signature visuals of the band.
The Caravan Palace Music Pack is now available for purchase for each game separately on Steam, Oculus Quest, and Viveport, priced at $1.99 per song or $7.99 for the whole bundle. Gamers can also buy a bundle of both base games in a week-long Duo Pack on the Oculus Store with a 25% discount.
To celebrate the new DLC launch, the developers have also teamed up with LIV and organized a contest for the Mixed Reality creators. Simply create a video that showcases the new music pack in both games and submit it in one of three categories on the contest’s page.

ABOUT SYNTH RIDERS
Synth Riders is a freestyle dancing VR rhythm game that takes place inside 13 retro-future-inspired worlds, each with its own artistic character. The game features 55 free, licensed songs and more than 20 tracks available as purchasable Music Packs, including Muse, The Offspring, Parov Stelar, and more. Let the music move you as you catch notes, ride the rails, and dodge obstacles in a unique combination of freestyle dancing and enjoyable fitness workout that’ll allow you to burn those calories while having tons of fun at the same time.
The game will allow you to experience incredible, licensed music of various genres in a whole new, immersive way. Dancing here is not optional but crucial for those willing to climb to the top of the leaderboard. Catch the orbs with your hands, follow the rails of long notes, avoid the walls, activate your entire body, move to the beat, and break a sweat in the process!
Choose from plenty of “Stages” filled with spinning mechanisms, futuristic cities, giant synthesizers, synthwave sunsets, and many more. On top of that, enjoy “Experiences” that come with selected DLC songs – unique, artistically driven visuals created to match perfectly with songs, providing a special blend of sight, sound, and physical actions.
Test your dancing skills in one of the two game modes – “Rhythm” and “Force,” with each focusing on a completely different playstyle. And if you love to compete with friends and family, then the “Party” mode, where you’re able to pass the headset to them, should be right up your alley.
The possibilities for enjoying the game are endless, with five difficulty levels and a wide selection of additional modifiers to spice up the experience. Such as the “Spin Mode,” where notes come from different directions, requiring you to concentrate and move even more.
