Hey OCRemixers,

I've been a long-time OC Remix...Well, lurker, I guess you'd say. Been visiting it for a while now (One of the first remixes I ever downloaded was AE's Mega Man 2 "Air Man" remix - Good stuff), and wanted to ask the whole lot of you your opinion -

I'd like to put together a good workout/running mix, and was wondering what the best "workout-friendly" mixes on the site were. Something thumpin' with a good, steady rhythm. For a comparison, I used to work out to the Wipeout 3 (Wip3out) soundtrack, which worked great. Would love some suggestions along those lines.

Opinions? Thanks so much for your time/ideas in advance, everyone!

forget OCremix, all you need is Pump up the Jam by Technotronic on a continous loop.

"Catapult" - Beatdrop

'nuff said.

[Black Mage]

If you don't mind diversifying your music origins a bit, I'd recommend Run With Us, from Anime Remix. Not only does it have a suitable beat for working out or running, but the lyrics also work.

[EdgeCrusher]

BLS - 1919 Eternal. Great workout cd.

I don't think thats the kinda workout he had in mind. But, I like the way you think though.

[Audity]

Actraiser_Lord_PROTEKTOR One could say the synths are ear piercing which might have negatory feelings towards working out. But if this was playing I sure as hell would work out. One of my favorite songs.

Bionic_Commando_Bionic_Electronica I'm not really a fan of the string instruments repeating so much, but the breakdowns are nice.

Castlevania_2_Simons_Town It's mixed a bit low, but it might be good on some decent work-out speakers. Might be too melodic and crazy. Who knows.

Castlevania_2_SimonsSymphony This is actually one really decent rap song for the masses.

Castlevania_SotN_TheDevilInside_(ItaloDiscoMix) 'nuff said

Chrono_Trigger_Calamitous_Judgment BEATS plus awesomeness

Chrono_Trigger_DreamofZeal I feel like walking lots and lots and lots and lots when hearing this song. Requires no thinking and sounds good at the same time.

Chrono_Trigger_Lavos_Battle_dnBoss really nice, though a bit rapid-fire-beat-like.

Chrono_Trigger_Revival_Day_Impoetus You WILL work out to this.

Columns_MainTheme(BlueSquareMix) Sort of too melodious, but has some decent pumping parts especially when the synth melody gets the quarter notes along with the beat.

Command_and_Conquer_On_the_Prowl_Redux and
Adventure_Island_Tribal_Warfare I've heard the genres of both these two songs be called the types of song that would be in gay pornos (luckily I haven't experienced this first-hand). Useful for when there's only guys in the gym! Or not...

Dark_Cloud_LaSaiasRestingPlace niiice. Gotta have some variation.

Delta_Space_Grind YES

Diablo_WetGrass_Inspired Just a good piece of music.

Donkey_Kong_Country_2_Assembly_line_Apparitions Anything by Protricity, really.

Donkey_Kong_Country_2_BramblesInTheBreeze Protricity

Donkey_Kong_Country_2_Forest_Birdcussion Protricity

Donkey_Kong_Country_2_Mechanical_Swamp Another Protricity

Donkey_Kong_Country_2_Savage_Seduction MORE PROTRICITY

Donkey_Kong_Country_2_GhostofStHelens Very cool beats and stuff.

Donkey_Kong_Country_Blue_Vision steady beat. would be good teamed up right next to his CT mix which I already mentioned.

Donkey_Kong_Country_Stray_Donkey_Strut Pretty good overall. The ending might throw people off.

Donkey_Kong_Land_Revisiting_the_Ruins Turn your gym into an aquarium instead!

Double_Dragon_2_Mean_Streak_on_Main_Street Doesn't sound too great on headphones, but with speakers it was amazing.

Double_Dragon_2_Twin_Blood The best straight-up rock mix on the site.

Dune_Arrakis_Wormsign Perfect

Earthbound_Dreaming_on_Distant_Shores awesome

Earthworm_Jim_2_Wormaphobic_Disorder Protricity

Final_Doom_Quick_Fix aural bliss and beats

Final_Fantasy_6_Agony_of_Obscuration one of my favorite mixes ever (took a few listens before deciding this since I thought it was just pretty average at first). Good beat, too.

Final_Fantasy_6_EngineerCid(factory) I like this remix way more than many of the high sample quality ones. Straaange. It's the opitome of workout music if you don't have a bias against the sound quality. Also one of the best songs ever.

Final_Fantasy_6_Eres_Des_Points For some reason I am a DJ Crono rap fan.

Final_Fantasy_6_Kefka_Goes_Carnival SALSA

Final_Fantasy_6_modeserpent it's different at least. Still beaty.

Final_Fantasy_7_StringMachine(CorelPrisonMix) yeahbuddy

Final_Fantasy_6_The_Sveldt DO THE DJP and work out.

Final_Fantasy_10_Via Play it unless you don't want to get strange looks from an opera girl singing in the middle of the gym.

Final_Fantasy_Adventure_Willed_Assault Neverending kickass

Fury_of_the_Furries_FurryintheForest Aww yeah.

Fury_of_the_Furries_swimmingfurries ditto.

F-Zero_Voices_Broken a slightly different touch...to any music ever created.

Ghouls'N_Ghosts_Poltergeist_Mix ending is particularly nice.

Guardian_Legend_Ace_of_Space 0:44's section is like...pure blood-pumping.

ICO_Save_Me_(OCR_Edit) yep

Illusion_of_Gaia_Wills_Journey this gets no love...no love...

Jurassic_Park_everythingremainsjurassic gangsta' hood done at the right level

Killer_Instinct_KillerInstinctsEnhanced The type of airy guitar(s) that give this song its atmosphere are really good for energy. I know of a couple more OCRs that are like it, except with vocals.

Last_Ninja_8-Bit_Kamikaze it gets good during the main chorus

Legend_of_the_Mystical_Ninja_Oedo_Hop Nonstop energy

Magical_Drop_3_Enigmatic_Lunacy kind of trebly. I dunno, but I haven't listed anything like it yet. Pure dance music.

Mega_Man_2_Airman_WindShear you should be familiar with this one.

Mega_Man_2_Wily_Meets_Flashman not too sure about this one. Has energy but is kind of loud. Maybe that wouldn't matter with speakers.

Mega_Man_2_WithTheQuickness This one's a bit soft, but nothing speakers can't fix.

Mega_Man_3_Its_Boss_Time This would be so great as a last boss theme. Er, I mean YEAH IT'S WORKOUT MUSIC

Mega_Man_3_SnakeManGetDown one of my old favorites. Trancey.

Mega_Man_X_BrainsickMetal bestsongever

Metroid_Prime_JustaLittleMore_(PrimeEdit) coolness

Ork_Portal yep

Phantasy_Star_2_BurntMota I remember playing this while jobbing monsters on some MMORPG.

Pictionary_Person_Place_or_Groove Yeahp.

Pilotwings_64_Birdman_ClearSkies a classic, and pretty smooth...like jazz. Except with a beat thing.

Revenge_of_Shinobi_Chinatown(BadSushi) Nice dreamy no-thinking workout music.

Revenge_of_Shinobi_Consent_(MakeMeDance)

River_City_Ransom_RiverCityRammstein These last two are a bit synth heavy, if that detracts anything.

Seiken_Densetsu_3_Electric_Fields Constant cool.

Shinobi_3_Whirlwind(GaleForceMix)

Shinobi_Rayza_Shuriken this may sound really generic, but I like it quite a bit, strangely.

Socket_TripTheLightFantastic Trance beat yay cool.

Sonic_2_Reich_Lake mmm repetitive coolness.

Sonic_2_Welcome_to_the_Metropolis another generic techno thing that sounds nice to my ears, regardless.

Sonic_3_Aquatic_Pressure Quite a bit of variation while being beaty.

Sonic_3_Dub_Island_(Bashment_Riddim_Edit) Awesomeness enwrapped within an enchilada.

Sonic_3_Sonik_Azure Sweetness

Sonic_3_Tight_Finale the most energetic song ever

Sonic_3D_Blissful_Eruption This song...gets no love at all. Completely nice sounding.

Sonic_Adventure_2_Knuckles'_Unknown_from_MC more rap

Sonic_CD_ColKaos_Stoned_Future like Blissful Eruption, except less thinking required.

Sonic_LiveattheSpringyard Lounge music, but maybe works as workout music as well. Maybe I'm completely fucked in the brain.

Sonic_Love_Hurts Yeah.

Sonic_sonik_special guitars and analoqqq

Sonic_the_Hedgehog_3_SonikElektronik kraftwerk "genre" done decently well by Rayza.

Soukaigi_Aftershock I'd workout to this.

Speedball_Speedy_Guitar Just as the name implies!

Star_Control_2_Lightyears_Away yes

Starfox_FortunaFavorstheFunk Impressive sound quality.......BEAT INCLUDED; ages 12 and up.

Starfox_Meteorave bLiNd is da boMb

Starfox_Space_Cowboys

Street_Fighter_2_China_Street_Beat

Street_Fighter_2_DhalsimSpicyCurry This song has way more to it than probably half the people who listen to it think.

Streets_of_Rage_2_BadassPosse McVaffe is a good person for this job.

Street_Fighter_3_MakotoJungleJazz piano-y intro, but gets into a perfect groove MCVAFFE

Streets_of_Rage_Drop_and_Roll Experimental, at least.

Streets_of_Rage_Wah-Wah So awesome.

Super_Double_Dragon_No5_(Snapdragon) Another experiment

Super_Mario_64_Fleeting_Ecstasy See how many heads turn when they hear this awesome rendition of the Mario star theme.

Super_Mario_Bros_2_SuperBuckJazz And this one maybe not so many turned heads. Hey, jazz has a constant beat. (This one's very energetic, too.)

Super_Mario_Bros_3_Battle_Rocks constant beat

Super_Mario_Bros_3_Staff_Battle Selecta Novel is great. Most of his stuff is on VGMix, though.

Super_Mario_RPG_Seeking_Heat some variation on mood while still being beaty.

Super_Metroid_Brinstar_Bonsai_Garden wind down time (WITH BEATS)

Super_Metroid_MegaDance_Mix_2002 Supreme.

Super_Street_Fighter_2_CammysLondonDrizzle McVaffe is all I need to say.

Super_Thunder_Blade_Overdrive underappreciated, probably.

Terminal_Velocity_Proxima_Path crazy

Terranigma_Blue_(Shooting_Star_Mix) yum

Terranigma_Reviving_Zue Sweetness. Unique. Refreshing. So insanely good.

TMNT3_Turtle_Wave sogood

TMNT_4_Waste_Water_Wipeout evenbetter

Turbo_Outrun_Slam_the_Gas TOO BAD IT'S NOT ON OCR ANYMORE

Xenogears_IndieRockDajil Spice up your life with some Indie!

Xenogears_Skyline The secret to why Ziwtra is good? No one knows.

Yoshi's_Island_CrystallineCaverns MCVAFFE

Yoshi's_Island_Indian_Ragga MCVAFFE

Zelda_3_Triforce_Majeure the genre is superbadass

Zelda_64_Hyrule_Party_Mix Boom TSH boom TSH. I can imagine people working out with this.

Zelda_Links_Awakening_ClashattheMountains Loudness

Zillion_InsideTheRoadhouse synth madness and beats. It's like a supermatureversion of his MUSHA remix.

That's about 115 songs right theeeerrree.
That was a really fun experience. Brought a new hope in me! Or something cheesy yet important.
