ReMix:Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest "Dance of the Zinger" 5:09

So good I had to review twice. The buildup at 3:18 is pure ear candy and the drop at 3:44 is what dreams are made of. This is music. This is art.

One of my top 5 favorite songs of all time. Awesome buildup and evolution over time. The bridge at 2:00 and the kick at 3:40 are great. You work in a lot of different styles, but I like this quality of this sound best, with the levels being more mainstream and less chiptune/indy. Thank you for making such amazing music for free.

Great take! I love how you've structured the mix. Not staying in any one place for too long while still moving throughout the original structure of the theme, and still maintaining a very nice buildup, leaving room for imagery. I love the segment that begins at 3:13.

Jake struck hot with this mix, bringing a trance assault to Flight of the Zinger. There are layers of attention present in the song, with a nice filled out soundscape and little aspects that add like the background synths. Jake has evolved somehow since the making of this song, but that this song is just a small part of his excellent repertoire just speaks volumes as to how prolific he has been as a composer/songwriter - here's to hoping that there is many more better songs!

Awesome dance music indeed. Although to be frank the original mix sounded like a dance mix as well. I love how you deconstructed and reconstructed it to sound more modern. So, I'm sure everyone can agree with me as I say... "UNCE UNCE UNCE UNCE!" and dance along

There's no denying the insane quality of this mix. While it pretty much deconstructs everything the source tune stood for, what it rebuilds with the same materials is pretty astonishing. I suppose I'd expect nothing less than professional sounding music from a professional musician.

You've just got to love those awesome orchestral elements fighting through the barrage of synths and rapid trance. Everything acts as a very fine tapestry; I really love Kaufman's attention to layered detail.

Even though I think Baal Bhaagna showcases more of his technical prowess, you can't go past this one for that pure, adrenalised buzz. /badpun.

I want to say I really love this one. I found it very emotional when I listened to it last evening.

I was gonna post about how warm and fuzzy this mix made me feel but I was beaten to the punch.

But I can definitely say that this was my favorite track from the album and I lovez it so much.

I like this one. Its much better than the source and feels more urgent. This is one of those ones that is really fun to Audiosurf for those that do that.

...but virt somehow managed to make this my favorite track on this whole soundtrack. The breakdown at 3:43 gives me chills every time. Such a sick track.

I hope he's back on ocremix for good.

Intro grand. Transitions stellar. Virt manages to bring new thematic material n fx without sacrificing unity. I dig

Check out Contra 4; he did the soundtrack for it. He's a fairly talented person, ya know. Also, this track is epic!

But I think I already said that in the review of the album.

The original source was never one of my favorites, though I liked it, nonetheless. It had a lot of competition in DKC2. Practically the entire soundtrack was epic and fun to listen to.

But I think this remix, out of all the ones on the album, did the best work taking a source and making it 100x more enjoyable. It accents the best parts of the melody instead of switching it up and, imho, making it sound worse like in other mixes.

Great job, Virt. I gotta check out your other mixes.

I don't know why, but from 3:45 until the end, I always feel like I'm going somewhere really intense, with the wind blowing through my hair. I love that feeling, and I love this remix. I'm really happy it was realized for Serious Monkey Business.

Glad to see Virt is back on OC ReMix after all these years! Love ya Virt!
