Beatdrop earns spot on Dance Dance Revolution SuperNOVA 2

[zircon]

You heard it, folks. Our very own Beatdrop will be on the next DDR title from Konami, with his song "Until Forever". He did this through a Broadjam (http://www.broadjam.com) contest and snagged $1,000 in the process... as well as some extra attention from Konami for future work, I'm sure!!! Anyway, CONGRATULATIONS and major props to him and y'all DDR players can look forward to hearing some goodness from our favorite industrial remixer/former judge. Movin' on up! :)

PS. Check the song out on Beatdrop's new album "In the Dark", available here:

oh heck freaking YES
I knew when I posted that someone from here could do it!

[Blake]

Oh my god. This is the fourth thread of someone's success. I HATE YOU ALL. Really though, congrats so much Beatdrop. I can't wait to get owned by your song.

[Skrypnyk]

wtg beatdrop :)

[big giant circles]

congrats! :)

[analoq]

great news! you deserve it, dain!

[Chickenwarlord]

If only we could work Heterodyne Principle in there...

[The Joker]

WOOOOOOOO! Can't wait to tell people, "I heard him, before he sold out." Which basically means, heck yes, mainstream-ism. Home of the big bucks (one day, I'll get there... one day).

[Bigfoot]

Awesome, congrats.

I'm assuming a home version of DDR?

[DragonFireKai]

Dammitt, now I need to pick up DDR out of Internet Loyalty.

[The Xyco]

Say wooooord.

[linkspast]

Say wooooord.
wooooord



Dude sweet, way sweet... Have you seen the steps for it yet?... Now I can play it and say I knew him before he was famous...

Say here is one of those buttons for your sig...

[ProjectSpam]

Congrats Beatdrop.

Everyone's being incredible lately.

[Brushfire]

OMG!! Much love from two huge fans here in Misawa! Congrats Beatdrop!!

[HalcyonSpirit]

Congrats, Beatdrop!!! I'm gonna have to make it a point to pick up this DDR game when it comes out!

And I'm surprised no one has posted this yet:

:nicework:

[watkinzez]

Nice work indeed.
That reminds me of some similar mentionings on VG Frequency. Wasn't Beatdrop involved in the production of a DDR clone? Did that ever come to fruition?

[Bundeslang]

Great, for OCR and for Beatdrop.
Nice work.

[Beatdrop]

Actually, from what I've been told, it's to be used in the next arcade version of the game (Supernova 2) as well as home versions, likely PS2 and Xbox 360. I'm as excited as everyone else. Looking forward to finally having a reason to memorize a song.

As for the DDR clone which was mentioned, it's still in the works, but almost certainly going to be finished, and that features a whole bunch of my stuff, including some songs from 'In The Dark.'

I'm starting to get used to receiving envelopes in the mail from Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. Got one today that returned my copy of the contract with the CEO of Konami's signature on it. Pretty surreal.

Thanks, everyone.

[The Instrument of GAWD]

WOW, this is alot cooler than pixietricks thing! J/k... kinda XD

Guess this means OCR is growing up then.

[Liontamer]

Lorenzos on Yokohama tires, bling bling

I've seen Dain's future!

[chthonic]

I can definitely see myself failing to play this song

gg

[Broken]

Well done, man. Hope they make good steps to go with the song (that is if you aren't allowed to do it yourself.)

[TCK]

That's freaking awesome. I can't wait for Dance Dance Revolution: Beatdrop Edition.

[The Orichalcon]

Very nice work, Beatdrop. That time in the brig did you well. Hopefully this is only the beginning of a successful career in music.

[The wingless]

Which one you bitches doubted the phat beetz of my boy, Beatty?

Well, I still run OverClocked ReMix.

So there.

Ah, sweet. I'm really hoping Supernova 2 is a lot better than Supernova, and I really hope they at least make your song a 9 footer :P

[chrono26]

thats frickin sweet man. congrats! you gon' be gettin the BIG bucks now.....BALLIN'!!!!

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Oh my god. This is the fourth thread of someone's success. I HATE YOU ALL. Really though, congrats so much Beatdrop.

Pretty much sums it up.

[Fishy]

Thats some crazy shizzle, eveyones getting famous. They will sell out and abandon us...

:(

But yeah, congratsumalations dude.

[richter]

Congratulations! This is super huge.

[atmuh]

oh its gonna be in an arcade version?
FREAKING SWEET, since I'll actually be able to play the song

[RealFolkBlues]

This is freakin' awesome. OCR is blowing up like a Firestone tire. I bet DJP's all misty-eyed right now.

[Maco70]

Bout damn time that boy got some cred. =D

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

Hot damn.

OCR just keeps getting cooler.

[PlastikBag]

Dude, that's awesome. "In The Dark" is a freakin awesome album. I've been listening to it a lot in the past week and it really deserves this kind of recognition.

[atmuh]

oh man, looks like supernova 2 was set to be field tested in the US as early as the end of this month (although it got canceled, but still that's pretty soon) so it looks like we'll be seeing this song in an arcade fairly soon

rockin

[Katsurugi]

Wow. DDR and OCR. They both end with an R. The connection has been made.

Freakin' awesome, Beatdrop! =)

(I'll try to AA your song first time through... on standard...)

[Dark Chocobo]

That's awesome, Beatdrop, congrats. I'll get my DDR playing friend to do your song an tell me how badly she failed it because she just can't keep up.

Or whatever.

[Effector]

Oh my god. This is the fourth thread of someone's success. I HATE YOU ALL. Really though, congrats so much Beatdrop. I can't wait to get owned by your song.

Who's representing us out in the real world?

1.) Beatdrop (DDR Supernova 2)
2.) Pixietricks (Civ4 expansion)
3.) ???
4.) Profit?

(No, really, who?)

Seriously, OCR is going to become a factory for music masters of the gaming industry.

[SwordBreaker]

Congrats, Beatrdrop man!!! It seems that more and more OC Remixers are getting recognized these days.

I've a huge fan of "House Hornet" it's really nice to see you step up to to featuring a track in a game.

[bouncerboy15]

Congrats beatdrop!

[[\(-_-)/]]

Its about time.

Once I heard the quality of his recent tracks I knew it was only a matter of time before he got some recognition.

gg man

[A-RoN]

Awesome! More people from OCR need to be featured on secular video game soudtracks; better yet, any kind of soundtrack feature in general. More OC Remixer love!

[Dhsu]

Awesome! More people from OCR need to be featured on secular video game soudtracks
As opposed to the people from OCR featured on spiritual video game soundtracks?

[Liontamer]

[sonicbhoc]

I hope this shows up in DDR Hottest Party for the Wii, because the Wii is the only system that will fit in my dorm in College. ;)

[djpretzel]

Truly awesome news.

[wormguy]

HOLY SHIT

Nice work, dude. You deserved it.

[Beatdrop]

http://ps2.gamezone.com/news/05_22_07_11_54AM.htm

Interview with me is available on GameZone.com in regards to the DDR contest win. Enjoy or something.

[Evilhead]

Nice interview. Congrats again on your success!

[Liontamer]

Nice work, Dain. Great plugs for that crappy remix site. :tomatoface:

Onward and upward from here, bro!

[Broken]

Great interview, Dain. Best of luck with your future endeavors. I can't wait to play your song on the next DDR!

[JJT]

Nice success! Congrats on your interview.

[big giant circles]

very nice! (i wonder how many people can use the word nice in their response)

[Theory of N]

Nice job! Keep up the nice work!

[John Revoredo]

whoa... lucky you! :-D
congratulations, and good luck :-D

[Effef]

Freakin awesome. Congratulations again, you really deserve it. "In The Dark" is one of the best releases I've heard in a while, along with some other fantastic releases from artists on this site.

[Bummerdude]

He casually remarked, after doing a re-edit, that he had to remove a couple more measures for the sake of the arcade version's memory capacity, and I freaked.
haha oh wow

Seriously man, great job. You definitly deserves it.

[Mr. Bottle Rocket]

woah, awesome. :D

[linkspast]

Nice your interview was much more interesting that that other guy... I still think its gonna be awesome to Play ddr and say "I kinda know this guy"

[The Mutericator]

Kickass, dude.

[zillford]

Freakin'. Sweet!

I can't wait to show all my local buddies your track, they'll go apeshiz!

I'm sure this will only open new doors for your musical career. Just don't forget about us small folk when you're riding in your Konami stretch limo.

P.S.
If you ever need some more vocals/lyrics I know a little mouse who's been practicing hard. ;)

[The Joker]

Niiiiice!!

[amvteknoboy]

I, like everyone else, enjoy your music and I think you deserve the spotlight!

Congrats! I hope more comes your way.

[Kefjkarp]

Wow. Nice work, man. :P

[Kiyobi]

All the more reason to chase after SuperNova2 for me.

Congrats!

[Equinox]

So now i can tell people "yeah i know who that guy is".

[Orange Pylon]

*sniff* They grow up so fast ;_;

im too dumb to think of a fourth even though i know i'll get real angry that i forgot whoever it was once someone mentions it

I'm trying to imagine the nice work guy playing DDR, its not working though :)

[DJ Skratch 'n' Sniff]

This is especially awesome news and the song in question, "Until Forever", is flippin' amazing.

I'm sure by now plenty of folks have gone and downloaded Beatdrop's albums, especially given the fact that kook has made them audible for free! Sucker!

[Khrystoph]

Wouldn't it be weird if someone ReMixed "Until Forever" as a submission to OCR?

[The Author]

Who's Beatdrop? Sum Noob?

Congratulation. Now if only I played DDR...

[Beatdrop]

There's always time to start. It isn't showing any signs of dying out at this point, unlike a couple of years ago when everyone suspected Konami was through with it.

[DJ Skratch 'n' Sniff]

That's funny cause I kinda thought DDR was dead (or that it was on its last leg at least). None of the malls around here have one in their arcades anymore; there were quite a few up until about 2 or 3 years ago.

[Tenucha]

You heard it, folks. Our very own Beatdrop will be on the next DDR title from Konami, with his song "Until Forever".

How awesome!
Congrats Beatdrop!! I'll definatly give your song a go once I can get healed and back to dancing!!

Really? Its in, like, every arcade around here including movie theaters
The most fun I had in public was going to see Snakes on a Plane in random cosplay.
I was Spike Speigel and my two friends were 1930s Leon and Claire from Resident Evil 4 and Code Veronica.
Alex (Leon) and I decided to go a few rounds on DDR in our nice suit cosplay. We got very funny looks.

:shock: URL?

haha well its completly doable isnt it?!

[Dhsu]

Drat, now you're giving me ideas...

[atmuh]

Really? Its in, like, every arcade around here including movie theaters

that doesnt mean it isnt dead
dead would mean that they over time release versions over lower and lower quality
basically they had better make supernova 2 really really good and not the utter garbage that supernova was to save it

otherwise extreme will only be the version anyone ever wants

[Red Shadow]

Wouldn't it be weird if someone ReMixed "Until Forever" as a submission to OCR?
wouldnt work, unfortunately
commercial songs that happened to be used in game soundtracks are not valid ReMix material. The music has to have been composed for the game, not simply used within it.

[Lord.Roderick.i]

YAY!!!
Beatdrop FTW!!!!!
Woot!!!
CONGRATZ!!!!!!!!!!

[Kadosho]

congrats BeatDrop! DDR man, some world we live in.

[Flaillen]

Amazing stuff!
Beatdrop was the first remixer I ever listened to and is still one of my favourites, I'm gonna have to go hunt down the game now just to try dance to it. From the sounds of the song, it'll be one of the more difficult ones. =D

Be great to see more games using your music, could easily picture some of it in these futuristic RTS games or some FPS ones.

[CC Ricers]

Skrypnyk's sig says it all.

http://djskrypnyk.googlepages.com/I_Quit.jpg

But congrats on your first big break, Beatdrop! Now who wants to place bets on the next OCRemixer to make it big?

[Omatic]

Congrats, man! I remember you told me about working on a DDR back in 2004/2005. I'm glad it came through!

[jacfalcon]

There will come a day when OCR is as big of a name as PlayStation, XBOX, and Nintendo!!!

[leandrahime]

WTG BeatDrop! I've always been a big fan of your work, and now others will be too! KAMPAI!

[DJ_Aquagenesis]

WTG BEATDROP!!!! they better step out that song right or imma raise heck. =D

[DarkFrog]

Congratulations Dain!

EDIT: And thank you for In The Dark! I think I've listened to it about four times now, and it got me to refresh my iPod for driving music.

Any of you guys who use the Audio application on Facebook can pimp Beatdrop's winning entry by going here and adding the song to your profile.

http://apps.facebook.com/audio/file?id=189563

[Beatdrop]

I really appreciate the overwhelming support, guys and gals. I've already begun working on material for my next album. I'm hoping to collaborate a bit more this time around and work in some more of the lyrics I've been writing, since I didn't get to as originally planned with In The Dark. But you can't force something like that, so it was for the best. Anyway, thanks again.

[The Joker]

Dude, if you're in the collabing mood, we should totally do lunch, figuratively speaking, of course.

[Wiz]

Super-congratulations ^^ i will keep an eye on your work :D impressive

[jacfalcon]

I got DDR SuperNova 2 just for the sake of having a OCReMixer song on it.

I WAS NOT DISSAPOINTED
