Jivemaster chimes in with a Christmas ReMix of his own, representin' the Sonic camp. This cover of the Diamond Dust Zone music from Sonic 3D is peppy, with some bouncy alternating-octave pizzicato strings, the gratuitous holiday bell sound, a nice bass that stays on the offbeat most of the time but also moves around a bit as well, piano underpinnings, Jivemaster's always-quality drum work (the man has yet to produce an un-funky groove), cool break at 1'02" that forms a nice segue into a key change (transitions, folks!), and an overall clean, open mix. Not much else to say - appropriately not as hardcore as some of JM's other submissions, but every bit as danceable, driving, and well-produced, and more intricate as well. Yeah.
Discussion: Latest 12 comments/reviews; view the Definitely a winter mix. Some really cool key changes here, dunno
if it's from source or a remix addition, but I like them.
Production ain't shiny, but the mix's got a groove and a nice
sound. And key changes. :D

The production sounds pretty rough here. :-(
Also, definitely not a fan of how short it is. It ends before anything more nifty can happen.

very fun times! I like this mix a lot, reminds me of when it snows
on campus and everyone sleds down the hills on stolen diner trays
:)

I can almost see snowflakes falling when I listen to this.
The first part reminds me so much of a modern revisioning of The Christmas Song by Bing Crosby. Especially that "falling" bells motif throughout the first part.
Ultimately, a very nice remix.

DEFINATLY a "Wake up on Christmas day and see what presents you
have" mix.
Total fun, more people need to check this one out and review it.

Fun and energetic, I really like the feel of this mix; like it is
freshly scrubbed and all clean. The bells and pizzicato strings
match together very well with the light electronic beats, and even
though it is somewhat repetitive, it doesn't get old to me.
Very fun, i like it a lot. :-)

Christmas, eh? I sure can feel it. Or at least hear it. The bell
pad being used sure makes you think of it, and as other already
have pointed out, it's very cheerful and happy, so it's very hard
not to smile while listening to it.
Favorite part must be at the end, right at 1:54, when some piano joined in together with the bells to create a far more better effect. My only problem is that he should've brought it in sooner, just when you're starting to like it starts to fade away and leaves you unsatisfied.
Oh well, can't have anything I guess. What I did get was a tough, trippy and apparently dusty remix of a game I really should checking out. Very nice remix indeed.
It could've been worse. It could have been nearly 5 years and only 5 reviews.
Oh wait....

You got that right.
This remix is just awesome. A cheerful Christmasy song! It will always make you feel great, like the Jedi Knight stated above.

there's only been two reviews!!! WHY?
This mix is beautiful. There isn't any other way for me to describe it. Absolutely beautiful. And not in the slow, calm way. I'm talking in the upbeat, cheery way. It really makes you feel great when you listen to it, it really does. It's one of the best, if not the best, of its type. And that's saying something. I'll be listening to this for a long time to come.
Definite keeper. For those of you that haven't yet downloaded this, do so. [i]Now.[/i] You won't regret it.
Great job, Jivemaster. This piece of music is awesome.

snare edge tap should be centered instead of one being on the left
and the other on the right

Well this is something interesting. Somebody should go play this in a mall on the eve of Christmas while everyone’s shopping. That ought to get some heads bobbing in the heat of the Christmas rush, especially with that little interlude at about 1:03. Great work, Jivemaster, keep it up.
