This is another one of those ReMixes that I'm not sure if you'll like, but I decided to upload anyway because *I* like it so I figure SOMEONE else will too . . like my ECCO ReMix, it strays pretty far from its source material, which is the cool intro music to SNK's KOF98 . . . if you listen, you'll hear it though. Somewhat experimental, this mix utilizes lots of new sounds I've recently gotten, as well as mastering techniques involving equalizing / compressing that I don't normally employ. If you BLAST this and put on a red hat with a metal plate, you might almost feel like Terry "Lone Wolf" Bogard . . . almost.

8O what the?
..anyways.
I love how insane this mix is. Layers and layers of scratching and samples. Too bad there wasn't an improv solo section.

God bless [URL="http://wherestheflamegrill.com/"]El Pollo Loco[/URL] for inspiring this awful video for their contest. :-D
What the hell? LOL. I was listening to this song thinking what it would sound like with rapping over it...only to find this :mrgreen:
I think this is one of the overlooked remixes among DJP's catalogue and OCR's early history. It sounds unlike anything else on this site produced during that era, and I think it's secretly one of the best hip hop songs here. Great dynamics in this one.

omigod NOOOOOOO!!!!! MY EARS!!!!!
:dstrbd: How is it possible to ruin that good of a ReMix??!?!?!?!?!:-x

Since I got this from the torrents for the first 1000 some-odd
ReMixes, I am unfamiliar with the source material, but still went
"Woah. Another unexpected style for a ReMix. And this one's GOOD. "
:dstrbd: I would not expect this sort of thing to come from djp,
who I know for his jazz-ish elec-piano skills and percussion. This
most definitely gives a ghetto feel. 8-) The percussion is there,
but the jazz-ish stuff? :?: Oh, there it is: out the window picking
itself up off the ground. Awesome mix. :-P

Another of djpretzel's onslaught of crazy mixes during OCR's
infancy, only this one is a big step up, I think.
Simply, it's just a very compelling piece of instrumental hip-hop. There is maybe too much scratching crammed into it, especially since this is a downhill ride all the way, but besides that, this is one of the the earliest power pieces on the site. It's the perfect length, and is busting with suave energy. I'm practically in love with this mix, which is even more surprising when you check out how old and dusty it really is.

I think the scratches get a bit out of hand, and kind of obscure
the rest of the track, but when I can hear the actual music itself
through the sonic assault that is the record scratching, it's
pretty good.

Best mix ever, DJP needs to close down the site because nothing
will top this in forever years

This is definitely one of my favorite remixes. I've been a SNK/KOF
fan for years and this has to be one of the coolest SNK remixes out
there. People seem to have a problem with the scratches, I can't
tell the difference, it all sounds good to me. The beat, just the
overall feel, man it really sounds great. I couldn't say enough
about how good this mix is, thanks DJP for this slick remix.

You know, I've never actually played this game, but this remix is
infinitely likable. I heard this on VGDJ, and I knew I just had to
get it. Up until VGDJ, I only downloaded mixes from games I knew
fairly well.
This mix shows me that maybe I need to get a little more adventurous. :o

Provided there's ever a KOF film adaptation djp feels proud to put
his name to (given past instances of game movies, I bet we will be
waiting a while...), this is undoubtedly the end credit track.
Stylish and a little *too* manufactured, just like the 'street
brawls' in KOF, heh. Very slick.

The scratches are too soft, muffled and not... not.... sharp enough
for this track. The scratching sounds like pulling a bullroar
through the wind... it sounds quite cheap.
However, this way it is orchestrated could have possibly a nice crisp hiphop drums going on here, but it wasn't carried through. Mostly due to the fact that the scratching did hamper the potential of the drums. The synths were well chosen and actually pleasant to listen to, like that often heard in French hiphop (which pwns the English/Ebonic variation.)

Dis song be off da heezey fo' sheezy yo! Umm now that that's over
and done with. I really liked this song. Loved the scratching, nice
touch! Never actually played the game, but this was one awesome set
although it was a bit on the short side, but I don't mind replaying
it over and over again. Love the ghetto-style feel, almost makes me
want to break out my turntables and booty dance for the rest of the
night. Hmm.. Not a bad idea.
