Back on January 31st 2008, I had no idea OHC would still be running five hundred rounds later. Many of us had joined in several compos over various websites and IRC servers, it was sometimes disappointing to find that you had missed the latest compo or difficult to find out when the next one was. Using ThaSauce's platform, we were able to create OHC - a constant meeting time and place, providing us with that much needed stability. Not only can community members find a constant weekly compo with challenging themes and an instant audience, but others could join in without having to know someone beforehand to "get in," thus removing the exclusivity from such a beneficial exercise. If you've ever seen me talk at a ThaSauce panel, you know the passion I feel for OHC brings me to tears. The music we've created together, the memes we've conquered, the interpretations and albums we've seen brought to light has been a journey, to say the least. And to see us reaching the five hundredth iteration is beyond expectations. For those of you who aren't familiar, OHC is for newbies and veterans alike. It's a place for us all to focus and create for an hour (and twenty minutes), share our creations, learn and grow. I'd love to see faces, old and new, join me in this challenge that is One Hour Compo Round 500 this Thursday, May 10th at 6 PST / 9 EST. Are you up for the challenge? http://compo.thasauce.net/compos/view/OHC Join us for discussion in #thasauce on irc.esper.net Love, ~starla

OC ReMix Presents VROOM: Sega Racing! May 9, 2018 Contact: press@ocremix.org FAIRFAX, VA... Time to hit the track as OverClocked ReMix today releases its 66th free community arrangement album, VROOM: Sega Racing. Featuring 11 tracks from 14 artists, VROOM takes a lap through several Sega racing game titles, and was driven over the finish line by veteran arranger José "Bronx Rican" Felix, who also provided the project's artwork and trailer. The album is available for free download at http://vroom.ocremix.org. VROOM's pit crew of musicians put down a variety of influences and genres including DnB, chiptune, funk, pop, jazz, rock, house, 90s-style R&B, and acoustic guitar. VROOM was made by fans, for fans, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Sega; all original compositions are copyright their respective owners. "The original vision was to showcase the variety of soundscapes a person could drive a vehicle to, from slow-cruisin' tunes to more accelerated, upbeat tracks, to high-powered lead-foot bangers," album director José E. Felix explained. "What our artists and staff have put over the finish line will hopefully provide that sensation for you, even if you're not licensed and out on the road!" The album's selection of games includes: Daytona USA Indy 500 Metropolis Street Racer NASCAR Arcade OutRun Sega Rally Championship; and Virtua Racing Deluxe. VROOM is also OC ReMix's eigth Sega game music tribute album, following several Sonic the Hedgehog series ReMix albums (Sonic 1, 2, 3 & Knuckles, CD + 25th anniversary) as well as albums inspired by NiGHTS and Gunstar Heroes.

Hi! This is probably my best cover out of eight that I have put up on Youtube and Spotify. Having hard time finding any kind of audience/community to share these so I figured this is the place where I can find some video game music fans that give opinions and hints! I try to be pretty faithful to the original arrangements and bulid my own stuff on top of that cos' it brings my piss to a boil when you have a metal remix of some tune and it's just filled with double kick and djent without anything to do with the original arrangment. So there's my modus operandi, enjoy! Original:

If only I could be home for this. I'm so glad that OHC is still alive and well. This is amazing and I hope it's around for another 500 rounds.

thats enough time to whip something up! Even if you dont like the end result much, its still better than nothing. Of course its easier said than done.
