ToeJam & Earl

To the left is Earl, from the cult classic "Toejam and Earl" Genesis game of the mid 1990's. Wow. Dem were de days. This game had funk to spare, and managed to be entertaining and challenging and unique all at once, while remaining positive and groovin'. I hadn't ReMixed anything in a while - not sure if you guys NOTICED or not - and I felt this game badly needed some lovin', so I put together with some new samples this spaced-out funk fusion version of the main TJ&E theme. I'm proud of this and of my most recent ReMixes specifically because there are NO LOOPS involved, all the rhythm programming, which is fairly complex in this case, is done by moi :) check out da bassline, yo! hope yall like it ^^

The bassline is pretty awesome, and the percussion is great; i can't figure out what is doing all the rolls and stuff, but it sounds like a super super filtered snare? I seriously have no idea, but I really like it. Some of the sounds could a bit separation, but the melodic progression is nice, and it keeps it interesting for the mix's duration.
The subtle synth "blast off" effects at the beginning and end were a nice touch. :-)

This just might be the funkiest bit from DJP that I've heard. However, my opinions might be swayed by that absolutely juicy bassline.
I like the whiny lead and swept-filter bass; they're sort of cliche, but this an old song, and regardless: I like them.
The hopping rhythm is reminicent of "Fortuna Favors the Funk," and it makes me happy. The drums don't take a very up-front role, with synth percussion and bass driving most of the rhythm. Perhaps a little more development on the drum line could make it better, but it could also make it more cluttered. I like it the way it is, at least.

Why doesn't this tune get the respect I think it deserves? For me, it rocks the house.

Eventhough this remix doesn't give me those Toejam & Earl vibes, it's still a pretty nice remix. Experimental and cool, but a bit too far from the original's funkyness for my taste. Then again this tune rocks so I'm not complaining.

This is a great Djpretzel remix.
Good performance, good melody.

Dang this is catchy!
The beginning gets you listening but the rest sorta just loses your attention

Daaaang! This remix is excellent! I've been frequenting ocremix for some time, now, but I only bothered to register after hearing THIS remix! I had almost completely forgotten this game- which, by the way, was probably one of the most wacky-fun games I've ever played, but I digress. Wow... I can't find a single thing wrong with this! At all! I dunno, maybe it's a matter of taste, but I find this remix to be absolutely perfect. An INSTANT favorite. Kudos, man. Maaaaajor kudos. :D

Great! The title is also excellent, as the mental image of James Brown certainly made listening more enjoyable.

lotta dig that funky bass. i might have preferred a harder beat like with a snare in there as jivemaster mentioned, however i love that tickitta-tickitta drum beat too.
i don't know why, but this remix kinda made me feel like i was cruisin' through the cosmos with the top down, wind whistling through my hair, as i bark at passing asteroids.
i know that doesn't make too much sense, but this remix is mentos cool.

One of my Faves, so upbeat and quick with a lot of style thrown in to make it one of a kind with the pretzel touch, possibly one of the best i've heard

ToeJam and Earl 'James Brown in Space'
DJP has mixed loud the way I like it. I can't believe how many people don't use the whole range that's available to them while mixing - put it up to the ceiling boyz!! Synths and pads everywhere, with the synth bass keeping the sanity. Synth lead lines come in and out all the time, taking turns at playing the main melody, and the EQ (particularly the mids) make the mix crisp and bright. Now is there a snare in here? Because I can't hear it if there is. It might be the original shining through here, but I really like the overall funky groove of this track. I was a little sad and worried today but after listening to this song it made me happier. Don't know why! Nice one for the big P. I think Lloydster could have done a little more variation in the track though. However, in it's current state it doesn't get boring, which is good.
