New song(s)

Danger Zone

New year, new song! It took a while, but here it is: Danger Zone!

Fittingly, we start the year of the monkey (which…actually starts in February, but whatever~) with a Donkey Kong remix. Danger Zone features Hot Pursuit (Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie’s Double Trouble), Bad Boss Boogie (Donkey Kong Land) and a bit of Fear Factory (Donkey Kong Country).

A nice, rhythmic song to start off the new year, no? And this was definitely not the last DK remix of this year.

As usual you’ll find the video and download below. Want to show your appreciation? Donate!

And here’s the video:

 

Honestly, I have no idea about the next song yet. Could be anything. Even a Squashini remix, who knows~

New Year stuff

So, it’s 2016 and you still haven’t hear a thing from me XO

Well, the thing is…Xenoblade Chronicles X. It takes up like…all of my free time, but I’ll manage! …eventually! I can only recommend this game btw, it’s more than a worthy sequel.

Back on non-existing topic: 2016 is the year of the monkey. What does that mean? It means we’ll have a lot of DK remixes this year. Boy, am I looking forward to it! I already started on the first mix, which will have DKC3‘s Hot Pursuit:

Just to start it off and warm up a bit, ya know~

Other than that, there’s only one project planned this year (since 2 like last year seemed a bit overkill), although it’s not exactly decided what it will be yet. Unless I can think of something really cool, it’s probably gonna be VG Arch Rivals Vol. 3. Either way, you’ll be notified about the project in-time. Don’t expect it anytime soon though!

And that’s already all I wanted to say, thanks for reading this and I hope you’re looking forward to another year full of…stuff!

Best of 2015

Another year is over. And what a year it was.

There were a few (minor) improvements in terms of music and the website I’d say. We have a music page which is now split into years (so it doesn’t take forever to load) on the one hand and we got some nice tunes this year as well, but I’ll be getting there shortly.

One thing that still bugs me are the SUGGESTIONS. I tried a lot of stuff by now, but nothing really seemed to work. That suggestions page didn’t really work out as expected either (should have seen that coming honestly). I’ll write down some of the interesting suggestions you posted and delete that page afterwards. I think we’ll just handle it old-school style, if you have a suggestion, post it in the YouTube comments (I actually read all the comments I get). Some of you seem to be doing that anyway, so it’s not much of a hassle I guess? I usually have a good idea of what’s hip at the moment, but your input might help as well. But remember there’s always other stuff I’d like to do, so don’t be disappointed, okay? XO

As usual, we celebrate the year by releasing a Best of album with all of the regular songs of the year. Since we had 2 album projects this year (which is…one too much apparently), there are not as many songs on that album as usual, but I think there were more memorable songs than usual. Splat Zone, Unacceptable, On Days Like These, Mask of Madness, Deku Rave…I think those really stand out. One of my personal favorites is Hyper Drive Divinity. That’s 6 songs out of 13, so almost half of them were especially memorable to me, I think that’s a pretty good cut!

Now, the songs on the Best of album have all been re-rendered to grant the listener maximum quality. You can download them in many different file formats, whatever you prefer. However, you’ll notice that some songs may sound a bit different. And that’s because they are. So let me quickly go over the things I changed:

  • Artificial Magic: changed the lead instrument for the Dullahan Under the Willows part to an organ. Fits a lot better in my opinion.
  • Deku Rave: this is actually the Best of Edit, which is a combination of the original Deku Rave and the Scrub Edit with some additional improvements.
  • Unacceptable: changed the distorted guitar during That Person’s Name Is to a synth and changed that part very slightly, so it flows even better.
  • Hard Drive Divinity: actually got some major changes, the bridge includes a pitch shift, the ending is different and I altered the drums at some parts a bit. See it as an upgraded version.
  • 30 Years of Starman: changed the lead instrument for the first Powerful Mario slightly. I removed the Main Theme from SM64 as well as some of Mario’s sounds, which felt unnecessary for the album version. Also includes other minor changes.

These versions of the songs are exclusive to the Best of album, which means you cannot get them anywhere else. Now, for the album itself, you can get it on Bandcamp as usual. There is a limited amount of free downloads per month, but experience shows you gotta be fast to get one. The early bird (…or the Sanic) gets the worm, as they say! After they are gone, you’ll have to throw some money at the screen (…no, wait, don’t do that! I was just trying to be funny…) to get it. Not much though! With that many exclusively upgraded songs it’s definitely worth it, no? Or you could just wait another month…but you don’t want to do that, do you~

At last, ladies and gentlemen, here it is: Best of DJ the S: 2015

Aaaaaaand here’s the related video:

And that’s it! I’m already looking forward to the next year, I wonder what awaits us there? For now, let me wish you a

Happy New Year!
