Techno Syndrome was created by The Immortals, a project of Belgian producers Olivier Adams and Maurice Engelen, and released in 1993 in connection with the Mortal Kombat fighting games. It gained wider fame on the soundtrack to the 1995 Mortal Kombat film, where its shouted character names and relentless beat became inseparable from the franchise. While the games continued with different composers and styles, this track remained the version fans quote and remix most, spreading through arcades, trailers, dance mixes and online edits as the defining Mortal Kombat anthem.
