Final Fantasy IV

On with the show! While Echoes isn't as electronic overall as Voices, there's still a great selection of electronica tracks, and - as he's proven time and again - you can't ever go wrong with bLiNd. He writes:

"This is something completely new for me. There isn't enough electro house on OC ReMix so I did an electro house version of Golbez's theme from FF4 for the site project. OA jokingly suggested I remix the song after the final deadline and I figured I'd take the challenge on. I seem to be doing a lot of these 3/4 time signature tracks and making them work somehow for dance music. I changed the chords so its not so evil sounding, to make it work for more of a high energy floorfiller. The bassline really gets people moving and I have video proof of it from MAGFest 7. Mazedude, bustatunez and plenty of others were bustin moves to this in my set, tons of fun. Hope you enjoy this different take on a well known villians theme."

Pretty awesome; love the mix title, too. OA agrees:

"Jordan's work is nothing short of amazing, and his work on the project is easily some of his best work to-date. Golbez 'N Goblins is a pretty cheeky title for the remix about the main villain of the game, but it's an aptly named mix, with some massive bass grooves, insane builds, and a breakdown where I swear I can hear Chun Li. Seems like these crystals are so sought after, even other games are getting in on the action! This is one of three astounding mixes bLiNd contributed to the project, each of them fully capable of letting loose some Red Wings caliber of destruction on the dance floor."

Definitely a dance-oriented track, infectiously designed around getting your groove on. The fading, oscillating intro comes in through a sort of sonic mist until the beat & ridiculously meaty bass drop. When this one kicked on at Otakon through their PA system, our chairs were rumbling. Remember that scene in Jurassic Park where they show the water ripple because the T-Rex is walking nearby? That's the general idea. The synth chirp/thwack used to transition after some bars gives the piece a very reflexive, reactive groove that's hard NOT to move in some fashion to. From the swirling, distant harmonic bells that eerily state one riff to the Bach-ish, Castlevanian motif at 2'00", this is pure quality and an absolute blast to listen to. Score another one for Final Fantasy IV: Echoes of Betrayal, Light of Redemption - badass track!

I can't say this is my favorite bLiNd track on Echoes (that honor goes to the amazing "Path of Deception"), but I will say when this track starts messing with the rhythm of the bass, like at 0:48, I cannot control my head from moving along. It's like a reflex, it happens every time. What a number.

I nude it! I wasnt going to say anything though. But yeah, I definitely heard/saw the reference. By no means a rip-off or anything, but a nice, juicy accompaniment to be heard together.

Just one question though, is the title inspired by a certain Deadmau5 song?

This is really, really good. A tune that stands out. The bass line is extremely well done. I wish I could produce music as well as this :\

Wow that was hella tight. Somethin about the strings though, can't put my finger on it... At any rate this should be downloadable lol xP.

This mix rocks :) . Generally I am a huge fan of your work, bLiNd, and this mix is certainly no exception! Glad to know you are still crafting some great beats.

Good stuff Jordan!, I <3 this track and FFIV. The build up at 1:46 after the transition there, reminds me of some Daft Punk and i <3 it.
The album as a whole is splendid and i couldn't ask for anything more epic.
Long Live the OCR!
Good job, great album release. Good luck in the future.
