First Soundtrack WIPs and brainstorms

This first one is just me brainstorming, throwing a bunch of melodies together that don't really fit each other, but it sounds kinda interesting nevertheless.

The next one followed a similar theme with the atmospheric sounds intro, but then turned into something that sounded too much like some sort of underground techno, not really what i was going for xD

So I've been listening to alot of 90s jungle/rave stuff recently and felt pretty inspired by it.. Some songs sounded so perfect to me that i wanted to just take them and use them for the game, but ofc i can't just rip music without permission, so i tried to remix these tracks somehow, which made me end up creating a little mix of 2 tracks that i basically just cut up to be shorter, like a highlight reel or something.
But afterall in terms of composition I'm still using the tracks as they are, the music isn't really made by me, so it would probably still get me into legal complications.. which means i won't be using this mix, but i wanted to share it anyway.

btw the tracks names used here are:
The House Crew - Euphoria (Nino's Dream Remix)
I Need Your Love (like the sunshine) - N.R.G. Original Mix 1992
----------------
Next i tried to go into a more atmospheric, ambient direction again, but after finding a nice sample i could use i still wasn't super sure how to develop it, so i tried to mix it with the jungle themes and added some breaks xD (I might still come back to this sample later, who knows)

Song sampled here is: Sheep – Hiroshi Yoshimura
----------------
So finally i got a new idea on how to approach the music in the game, which is playing atmospheric music with only few instruments at a time, but adding a radio item to the game that would add another layer on top of the music which would be more beat heavy.
You'd be able to carry the radio around with you or place it somewhere, so you can decide if you feel more chill or groovy
Also i've decided i gotta stop trying to sample all these songs for the core motif, instead i used software instruments to throw down some melodies myself
(Except for the breakbeats, these are still sampled from the New House Crew - Euphoria track)

The first track would be how it sounds without the radio, sometimes it would just be quiet for a bit, which i think will probably work fine for this game, since it'll have environmental ambient sfx too.
The second track would be the radio edit.
