Let’s start off this year with a remake of the Song of Gods!

I’ve been enjoying a little time without working on music, but now the wait is over and we can officially begin 2018. And we start with a mix featuring Oath to Order, Stone Tower Temple and Deku Palace from The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask.

As mentioned before, it’s a remake of the Song of Gods from 2011, although that version featured the Ballad of the Goddess instead of Deku Palace. Remastering the song was actually pretty difficult, I hope I did a decent job:

And here’s the video as usual:

And this marks the start of another year full of music! According to the usual schedule, the next song is due in 2 weeks.

I have a lot of ideas for this year already, 2 contestants for this year’s special project (Sounds Alike Vol. 2 or VG Arch Rivals Vol. 3) and of course we’ll see some new Clad in Shadow songs as well. I hope you’re excited!

Time for the final mix of the year, inspired by last year’s crazy medley Sonic Boom (although with a rather uninspired name): Expand Nice!

I could not come up with an interesting or descriptive name for this one, so have some memes instead! I included songs I like a lot and (mostly) have worked with before, so no big surprises here (except one).

This mix actually took a while to make (as you might have noticed), although it didn’t take as long as it seemed since I’ve just been playing the Dark Souls series so much the recent month. Anyway, here are the songs in order:

• Grabbag – Duke Nukem 3D
• Bad Boss Boogie – Donkey Kong Land
• Woodman’s Theme – Mega Man 2 >:]
• Death By Glamour – Undertale
• King Dedede’s Theme – Kirby’s Dreamland
• Ken’s Theme – Street Fighter II
• Grabbag (again)
• Bad Boss Boogie (again)
• U. N. Owen was her? – Touhou 6: Embodiment of the Scarlet Devil
• Bad Boss Boogie (one last time)

I also included a little bit of the DK Rap, but merely for transitioning purposes. At two parts they’ll shout “D-K-Kong, huh!” – I’m well aware that the ‘K’ stands for ‘Kong’ already but it just sounded so cool so whatever~

Here’s the song:

And here’s the video, actually got a bit to show this time:

Very nice >:]

So next up is this year’s grand finale, the Best of DJ the S 2017 album which will release on Sunday with a video to go along with it.

Once again the time has come for this year’s X-Mas Mix, so I present to you: Silver Spell!

Long-time fans will probably remember White Magic, which was 2013’s X-Mas Mix. This year’s mix is a reference to that, being another Snowboard Kids medley – this time with more Quicksand Valley (although not perfectly fitting thematically, I just can’t get enough of that tune), Silver Mountain, Night Highway and Dizzy Land. I was debating if I should include Grass Valley as well, but that seemed a bit overkill for an X-Mas Mix – might as well make a remix of that during the summer or something. The game still has a few nice songs to work with after all.

And here’s the video:

If you want more, you can get yourself in the right mood by checking out the X-Mas playlist.

So the other mix I promised STILL doesn’t have a name, but at least it’s almost finished, so I’ll definitely upload it during next week and on Sunday you’ll get the Best of 2017 video of course!

Merry Christmas!
