What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix.

[Pyromuffin]

I think you're on top of the world now. =P

[Sinewav]

Ya know, I don't listen to much techno or rap, but I always figured they'd work well together. Guess I was right. Not much more to say.

A little off topic, I noticed that MC Mouse the Mighty isn't listed as a Remixer on the information page for this song. Was that accidental, or is there some obscure submission rule that I missed?

[big giant circles]

this is cool as hell. makes me wish i was slightly good at ddr so i could dance steps to it. the EQ is indeed very treble-ish. but that doesn't really take away from anything. i just needed to tweak my EQ on my speakers a fraction. great work nonetheless,

[Xelebes]

The techno acid-bass needs more bass, other than that just a simple bass boost for the track would suffice in the club. Sounds like something that my friend Matt Hatter might spin in his hardcore dnb sets. An eq update would be nice though.

Otherwise pretty nice.

[the biz]

I have come to really love Beatdrop's stuff, mainly because it's so unashemedly in your face. This and Cy-amp and Clash of the Titans I always play in my car at top volume going very fast. :) Reccomended if you like loud, agressive dance music. Now, if Dain could make good on his promise to post LYRICS that would be great...

[PancakeHero]

HOLY CRAP IN A PITA! This mix fucking rocks. The treatment on the vocals sounds really cool. drum loops are cool as hell. Beatdrop was rockin' out with his cock out.

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

:nicework:
Anybody know what song this was originally?

EDIT: 90% sure it's Hysteria.

It's in the writeup, you know.

(yes, it's Hysteria)

[ILLiterate]

I think im the only person that really doesnt like beatdrop that much...other than that this is a really soild track but my biggest complaint is that the vocals that the girl would originaly is not sung by a man, which makes it werid since I love the original Hysteria, the new lyrics kick hard ass though very nicely done

[zillford]

heya heya, MC Mouse here, thanks for the positive response, I just thought I'd help you out, biz, and post the lyrics:

-----------------------------
BEATDROP:
I was the teacher and I made you learn
I was the flame, and you just got burned
By me, the one and only, Chaos is here
To preach havoc and destruction and
TO STRIKE FEAR

Wastin' my foes, just like that
I see the fools, and they want to combat
So I pull out the same rhyme, don't waste time
Brushin' them off with the freshest of lines
So we could see who is the best of the best
Well I've won, and they've flunked the test
Stopping for no one just like a shogun
blade's my rhymes, whip it out then I'm done


Picture me, I'm on top of the world now
Picture me, I'm ahead of the game
Never stop, not for anyone, not now
Gonna take you out all the same

Picture me, I'm on top of the world now
Picture me, I'm ahead of my game
Can't stop, not for anyone, not now
Gonna take you out all the same

MC MOUSE:
In a second, you're gonna have to hit rewind
Lyrics flyin' with trajectory to blow your mind
Now, keep in time while I melt the line
Between perfection and these damn words of mine
When was the last time you thought someone could match this?
I detonate and sucka MCs splinter like matchsticks
Or ravers on acid, your throwbacks to past hits
Drop me on your track to get immediate classics

I swear now straight from the soul
As long as I can manage to plan on holdin' control
I promise to hold cold to any beats I'm rolled
Compressin' your old coal to synthisize new gold
[mc mouse!] I'm six foot four and a third
I run the gamut from insane to absurd
Supplyin' superb verbs, Bangkok to the 'burbs
50% energy 60% words.
------------------------------------------------

be on the lookout for my first solo submission, just as soon as I can sneak something past the judges without the aid of a so-called "musician".

[Fieari]

MC Mouse, dang man... you can RAP. Those are some phat rhymes, ya hear? Love the intensity of your voice, the rapidness of your rhthym, that awesome tonguetwister quality that makes a rap fun... you know a good rap when it doesn't NEED a drumloop to support it, and this don't.

Beatdrop... could use a teensy bit of work. Or maybe it was just the luck of the draw which lyric set he was stuck with. It felt a little faltering, it wasn't as forceful, not as rhthmic. I also found the really hard core background noise a bit offsetting. Of course, I'm not a real fan of really hardcore stuff, so take that with a grain of salt. And to this day I've never actually heard someone perform my favorite rap: Tolkien's Troll Song (http://www.cs.rice.edu/~ssiyer/minstrels/poems/370.html)... yes, I'm a geek.

At any rate, the whole of this is quite enjoyable, and I hope someone more talented than me makes a DWI stepfile for it. Would be fun to dance to. (As long as said DWI file has a standard mode setting... can't do the heavy difficulty level yet)

[Beatdrop]

"Stuck with"? :whatevaa:

[zillford]

I think he's saying that even the worlds greatest rapper would sound odd with those stilted, asian born rap lyrics. I think you did as good of a job as possible with such basic rhyme schemes.

[Beatdrop]

Oh, right. I read it wrong. Well, I wanted them to be different, since I was rerecording them anyway, and since I discluded the heavy swing that was in the original (except during the chorus section, there is some of that swing), I decided to throw in a little KMFDM flavoring, which djp hit right on the head.

And I'll agree that it's mastered a little funky, but after I finished it and heard it in my car and finally decided that it was a little high frequency heavy, I was just too tired from working on it to even bother fixing it.

[Ramenking]

Sorry but i really don't like this one. I love the original and think that the remix just doesn't live up to it. Maybe next time guys. A swing and a miss.

[Azure Haights]

It's like the bastard child of Hysteria and Schlagwerk. With 90% less "Oh, this is bad..."

Great work as always. Much props to MCMtM too, that was a solid rap.

[Beatdrop]

It's like the bastard child of Hysteria and Schlagwerk. With 90% less "Oh, this is bad..."

"This is FUCKED UP!"

I love how the Bemani fans come out of nowhere when a new DDR/Beatmania remix goes up.

[Azure Haights]

Well, you wouldn't expect the Mega Man / Mario / Final Fantasy / Sonic / $HIGHLYREMIXEDGAME fans to come out of the woodwork, would you? :wink:

[xsoft]

Finaly one DDR remix. This is not a typical DDR music, but it never mind .. post MOOORE ;)

DDR fan
Xsoft (ddr.pocitac.com)

PS: Thing about Dive (by Be 4 U) - 5th DDR album .. and make next remix.

[Vega Boralis]

I hate rap. I need to start off saying that to show just how much I like this song. The intro (the first 9 seconds) struck me first off, and that's one of the best intros to any song I've ever heard. It's really cool. I usually hate rap 'cause I can't tell for the life of me what the hell they're saying, but in this the lyrics are pretty clear. Also, MC Mouse's voice is pretty cool. Anyhow, great job on this song. I really enjoyed it.

[Mr. Bottle Rocket]

Impressive, i didn't mind it being on the high side at all, enjoyed it really. too many things with too much bass in 'em

[zillford]

verdammen! I seem to have lost my microphone. so the Halo2 remix is gonna have to wait till I buy a new one... so, uh... enjoy this tiny bit of rappage doubley, for it may be all for awhile.

[Sefy]

Whoa !! Finally Another DDR mix ^_^

First of all, I'm gunna say again that this mix freaking rocks. And I can't wait to hear more from MCMtM. Again, usually hate rap, and don't listen to electronica, but they both work extremely well here.

And now some other comments.

Halo 2 mix with rapping? That's exactly what I was thinking through the whole game, 'cept I can't rap. :D

And Sefy, you triple posted and spammed at the same time. That's gotta be some kind of non-unmod record. Really, this whole post was just to get your comment off of the "Recent Comments" on the remix's page. That's just not cool, man.

[Brim]

Great song. Also happens to be one of my favorite songs from the game. My favorite part is when the lyrics from the original song are used.

[Red Light District]

WOOT.

:D This is my running music.

[Kiyobi]

Awesome song!
(Stepmania anyone?)

[Sega.]

I never really appreciated hysteria till i heard this :)
I like the agressive nature of it and the fact that it sounds good loud.. the louder the better imo.

[zillford]

hey, yeah, someone needs to make a stepfile for this!

I'm a big SM fan, so if someone does a good job on syncing, I'd love it!

I'd be so appreciative I'd even, I dunno, perform it live for your highschool...or batchelor party...

[Debonaire]

Good job Beatdrop, yet another awesome track created. You did one of my favorite OCR releases- House Hornet (MMX3). Yes, yes, yes.

This remix of Hysteria is a welcome thing to return to- one of my most disliked DDR tracks turned into a nicely mixed piece of audio that I would be honoured to have grace my $20 speakers and subwoofer. (They were a backup set that never got replaced by expensive ones.)

This song differed from most of your songs though in the fact that it didn't have too much bass. In fact, it had too little. It really could use a bass boost. Not that I don't have Winamp EQ set up to cover that error.

According to my "friend", I can't critique your music because I can't read music. Man, she's so arrogant and conceited. Heh. I'll leave now.

[Kiyobi]

hey Beatdrop, if you're reading this, what's the BPM? I could use it for Stepmania simfile making

[Beatdrop]

The tempo is 121 beats per minute. Have at it :)

[Kiyobi]

thanks!
(check out BemaniStyle.com in the coming week. If I do finish it up, it should be there!)

[xtishereb]

Ok, I'm pretty sure Hysteria is from DDR Solo and NOT DDR 4th Mix. That being said I think that this mix is totally AWXOME with a captital X! It's way better than the remix Naoki did, Hysteria 2001. And DJ Kiyobi K., I hope the steps are better too. :wink: I love the rapping parts, and the interpritation of the melody. Great usage of filtering in some parts, makes it seem like some parts are coming out of a DDR machine with broken speakers, but with extra subwoofers added! Or maybe a low-fi AM broadcast. So yeah, it's really loud. Not "I'm-Pumping-It-At-Max-Volume" loud, more like "My-Mix-Is-Louder-Than-Yours" loud, just like how the producers in pop studios compress their mixes. Anyway, it's still the best Hysteria mix on the site! :P

[Azure Haights]

Ok, I'm pretty sure Hysteria is from DDR Solo and NOT DDR 4th Mix.

Agreed. Then again, if we moved Dazed from 4th Mix to DDR Solo, 4F73R M3 could take its place. Maybe all the songs in one Bemani series should be put under the same game? Has this been discussed?

[Kiyobi]

just a lil' sneak peek at the simfile, the steps are practically insane. It progresses to a stream of half-beat steps into freezes into quarter combos. only for the pro's! ;)
I do plan to make easier steps to go along with this, but for the moment, when I finish the hard steps, I'll upload it.

[Beatdrop]

Ok, I'm pretty sure Hysteria is from DDR Solo and NOT DDR 4th Mix.

Agreed.

Yeah, I goofed on this one for some reason. Sorry 'bout that. I have no idea why I made the mistake. Simfiles probably aren't sorted properly.

No worries. We fixed it. Mouse has a co-credit now as well.

[DragonAvenger]

Good lyrics, nicely performed. I'm not crazy about the production on the first verse, it's much harder to make out. I'm not sure why it changed from one verse to the next, anyways. The 'robot' voice for the few words works, however.

I agree with it being mixed too high. I'm expecting a lot more bass out of this, but perhaps I'm too used to the 'typical' setup for a rap song?

Anyways, good job by Beatdrop and MC Mouse.

[OA]

A really creative take on the source, I've DDRed to this track a ton, but never would have imagined it like this. Nice production, and MC Mouse the Mighty is excellent. Great diction and flow, and the original stuff he did at the end was incredible. Interesting take on EQing the track to sound like the OST stuff, this'd sound perfect on the actual machine.

Excellent work. :-)
