World Factory 2026

Sometimes you look at the date, but sometimes the date looks at you and calls you a fool. Today is such a day. And because of that, we revisit a song that was originally meant for this day (13 years ago), but uploaded too late. World Factory is back, and it’s on the correct date this time:

World Factory 2026 (2097 downloads )

It’s not particularly funny or silly, but it’s rather random – although I don’t usually need a special day to make a medley like this, throwing such different sources together. A few parts changed compared to the original, so here’s what we got:

  • Last BattleCave Story
  • Abandoned FactoryPersona 2: Innocent Sin
  • U.N. Owen was her?Touhou 6: Embodiment of Scarlet Devil
  • Song of StormsThe Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
  • Bad Boss BoogieDonkey Kong Land
  • Stone Tower TempleThe Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask

For the video, I tried some different things this time, although the background is the same as in the original video:

I worked quite a while on this, updating the mixing and everything, but in the end after some back and forth, it ended up sounding rather similar to the original – makes me wonder if it was worth putting that much time into it…

Minimal Bogus 2026

In 2023, I released an April Fools song called Minimal Bogus. It was a remix of the Minor Circuit theme from Punch Out!! (or Mike Tyson’s Punch Out!!). The special thing about it is, that I followed a tutorial for Minimal Techno to make it, and put my usual spin on it (and also added a bunch of Super Macho Man’s lines from the Wii game of the same name). And today I finally release the full and somewhat revised version of it.

The end result is neither this nor that, you could even call it bogus. But with that song name, what did you expect. 😉

Here it is:

And here’s the video:

And so I continue my journey to remake some older songs, and the next one will be no exception.

A Formidable Foe Emerges 2026

After spending weeks of figuring out what to do for the end of the year until it’s too late to make anything, I already had some plans for what to do for 2026. I plan to remake some of my older mixes, from a time where I was still making music in a creative way, not caring too much about mixing and mastering – which is something I’m struggling with to this day (and it’s not getting better).

The one I was originally going for isn’t quite working out so far though, so we’re starting with something else: A Formidable Foe Emerges – an original tune loosely inspired by the Mini Boss Theme from Super Paper Mario, originally made for an animated series by TamagoSoup as a kind of boss/mini boss theme a bunch of years ago.

The song now has one loop in it, and a different bridge that connects the loops, alongside some instrumental adjustments compared to the original. Here it is:

And here’s a video for it, featuring my avatar Joe by TamagoSoup which you’ve seen as my logo for many years now:

I’d love to remake some songs from my Touhou Remix Projects, but so far I’ve been struggling a lot to update them while keeping their original essence – it feels like they lose their charm in the progress. I’ll just have to keep trying I guess…
