This is awesome. I have been waiting for Disco Dan to return - and with style too! Plus one to him and all.

Nice mix - piano is well placed and the arp works well.

I like.

There isn't much to say that hasn't been said in the Remix section of the website, but I approve of this remix deeply. The first 30 seconds or so felt very atmospheric, and the way it flows into the actual underwater theme is enough to make me replay this remix endlessly. One thing I love more than anything, however, is the way it seemingly emulates some of the original track's sounds to perfection. As said, this remix is very engaging and is one of my favorite Donkey Kong Country remixes.

Keep up the good work, Disco Dan. Hopefully you will produce more gaming remixes in the near future.

Beautiful piano..though notationally simple, it really carries the sweet, dreamy tone of the original alongside the hard driving electronica. And I love the gradual build up over the course of the song, culminating into an explosive, jam-packed soundscape. Excellent.

Man, the front page surprised me today. This was a great track and reminded me quite a bit of the style that I used to really love about the songs on this site (and that I haven't heard a lot of recently). This really brings me back, in addition to just being an atmospheric, enveloping, and generally kickass track. Great work.

It's Disco Freakin' Dan doing Aquatic Freakin' Ambience. How can it be anything but awesome?

Good to see a mix from Disco Dan again! Very atmospheric. And this is, indeed, just what you expect from DD remixing 'Aquatic Ambience'.

Very nice.

Disco Dan returns!
He's one of my favorite artists, I love his general style. This song drips with his classic style, reminding me greatly of his older work. This indeed reminds me of older days of Overclocked, great stuff.

First off, love the lead. I'm usually not fond of sound effects, but you actually established what the music was referencing, then literally made it feel like I dove underwater. Very nice. There's a lot of energy here, but it's also subdued and chilled out. In light of the original theme I think that was an important aspect of the music to hold on to. I also really liked the timpani and slap sticks (I think they were slap sticks :P) in the chorus. It was a nice accent. Overall the mix does exactly what electronica should do: carries me smoothly from one variation to another, and feels like a cohesive whole. Nice work Dan, and welcome back!

When I saw Disco Dan up on the bulletin I had to check my calender to see if it was April.

This guy said it best. Sound effects helped establish the feeling of the track really well.

Great work.
