[Saunders]

Wizards & Warriors 'DJ Jake'

YES! I absolutely loved this tune as soon as I heard it. Great bass, great, well, everything. I don't think I ever found anything about this mix that I didn't like. Maybe length. I would've loved to hear it a bit longer. Especially the ending part.
This mix made it's way onto my 2nd or 3rd OCR CD. It's just that cool.

kicks off pretty well, but i wonder if it woulda been better to switch the synth and percussion entrances... but only cause i like hearing the beat down quick. neway, i dont think i enjoyed it as much as saunders, but it was pretty solid. djjake has a thing for driving bass, and this one nails it perfectly. percussion break at ~1:00 is nice ;) triangle + woodblocks all the way baby, thats what im talking about.

Cool, I just came across this while listening to Winamp on shuffle. Surprised me for a rather old mix. The bass and drums are the highlight, but as djp said, the expansion of the main melody should have come in sooner. Nevertheless, a pretty cool song.

Super basic and midi-sounding, I can't say that this will win any awards for sound design. Though basic, it does have a certain charm, especially when the extra percussion comes in. When the extra material comes in, it starts getting really good. This mix would be really good with several changes, most notably a synth update, a little less repetition early on, and maybe an extra section. As is, it's a bit dated, however nice.

My first thought when hearing this was "Wow, this sounds very midi-ish." It's very rigidly sequenced, but somehow the percussion makes up for it. I like the part at 1:04 when the extra percussion comes in. I think I recognize most of it from a soundfont that I have.

Anyway, I didn't really care for the sequencing of the musical parts, but the percussion is indeed pretty cool. Also, the strings that came in around 1:54 weren't bad, and did serve to give the mix a feeling of closure.

That extra percussion definitely wins me over. It's just ..fun.

Gotta agree with OA on this one, would definitely need a sound update. But damn, it's a fun romp..

Too repetative for my taste. More change-up sooner would have done this a world of good.

The percussion carries the piece, most certainly. The extra stuff really catches your attention, though I wish it had just been something extra to bring me in rather than the only thing.

The sounds didn't bother me that much, but I wouldn't mind an update, ceratinly. Overall a kinda fun piece.

yeah... the samples could be better. i like the arrangement at 2:00 when it starts rocking out. ending was pretty abrupt and the drop-out at 1:15 really killed the flow for me.

No matter how hard I try, I can never live down my shame that I confused it with a D12 beat.

I like the sample, it would be a good beat to rap to. The mixture of other instruments that go over the main line are cool little portions, but I never really think anything fleshes itself out as a lead until 1:52. At that point the mix is almost over and it feels like wasted potential. That last 30 seconds is really cool, but I think that the rest of the mix could have a lot more done with it.

There's not really enough going on here, imho.
and it's pretty repetitive.

More could have been done with it, but ...
well, it's O.K.
More or less...
