    Streets of Rage Album

    in Recruit & Collaborate!

    ;)
    And there's a Mokram! Dude, without derailing the thread i wanna say it's good to see you around again. I hope things are getting better for you, man! :)

    Keeping things on topic, i would have to agree with Gar here in the sense that it's probably better to make something fresh for a OCRemix project. If we were to use a track that is already out there online then it kinda weakens our release because, well, people will have already heard the song outside of the album. It takes away that 'brand new' factor that OCR's albums tend to have upon their release, if you catch what we're saying.

    Our Zone Runners remix for the Player Select tune has been 90% completed since over a year ago and i've held off on releasing it on our own if only for the sake of this project having it first, that way keeping it fresh and original for the album.

    Anyway. just my two British pence on that ~

    Anyone looking for Rap Vocals?

    Lol, RageQuit. I can relate to that! I like it, dude. Nice flow too.

    How long have you been rapping, if you don't mind me asking? :)

    As for collabs. I'm a Rapper from London, England. Lead vocalist for the nerdcore/vgm-hiphop trio known as Zone Runners with halc and Sir J. Hit the link to listen to our debut album if you need a audio portfolio of what we're about. Oh, we also done that Pumpkin Hill remix that was released on OCR recently, so there's that too if you wanna hear it.

    I reckon we could work out a collab or two sometime in the near future, for sure.

    You got any projects in the pipeline? Anything i should be looking out for?

    First SA2 ReMix in... 10 years????
    Good god, i didn't even notice that! XD ...seriously, the last person to hit up SA2 was The Bronx himself! That's insane.

    Man, i'm really glad we did cover this song now. It's not only been the ZR's first official posted debut at OCR or halc's first vocal posted debut at OCR but it's also been the first SA2 remex in ten years.

    Awesome!! Totally unintentional, but awesome!

    Everything you just said

    Yeah, Hunnid P is doing time for a gun-charge. Hopefully he'll be a bit more open-minded about our remix than you've been because i feel you're judging us a tiny liiiittle bit unfairly here.

    We kept the original lyrics in the song out of homage and that i know people would want to hear them, otherwise i would have personally liked to have re-written the lyrics entirely. But i'm not a killjoy and recognize some people want the old bars in there, so we left them.

    Why didn't we rap more as Knuckles? Simple. We're not Knuckles. We're the Zone Runners with already established personalities, so we used our own for our own new verses. Knuckles himself, that's reserved to people like Dredd Fox, Hunnid P, The Bronx Rican (who portrayed Knux here at OCR ten years ago), so it wouldn't be right if we built off of the echidna.

    Instead, we decided to build off of the Halloween mood itself by referencing vampires, zombies, frankenstein, werewolves and all that good s**t from our own perspectives visiting Pumpkin Hill.

    That being said, i get the feeling you are a very big fan of the original song and, hey, all the more to you. Enjoy what you enjoy.

    All this boils down to is the fact that you ain't feeling our version more than the source. Done.

    I'm personally really pleased with the response our version has gotten and i thank everybody who has been bumping it, reblogging it on Tumblr, retweeting it on Twitter and sharing it on Facebook. The support has been fantastic and with that i can feel it when i say i think we done a good job here.

    Not ego inflated, not 'trying to out-do anybody or the original', i just feel we've done the song a lot of justice.

    It's all good, either way.

    Hey, thanks for the compliment! I appreciate it muchly!! :)

    As for Sonic R!

    I know for a fact i'd personally love to hit that game soundtrack up for a remix, some of my favourite Sonic songs are in that title.

    I know there was potential for a remix EP of some sort here in the OCR forums that Wildfire started up, so that might still occur.

    Aaaand i know that at some point i'm definitely going to want to have me, halc and Sir J (Zone Runners) make our own little EP of the Sonic R music too. That's a must, i really want to do that if i can convince the other two!

    So, yeah. One way or another i definitely see Sonic R getting a remix release of some kind in the near future!

    Some beats I made. Hip Hop Jazzy

    OH! You're the dude who replied to my Mass Effect topic, haha! I didn't know you made HipHop beats!

    Loving that Space Dandy one you got there.

    Mind if i was to throw some bars on it? Getting a little inspired from the beat right now.

    Let me know the details, holla at me on SoundCloud if it's easier to chat there, man :)

    Peace~

    Jewbei, halc - Icebreaker (Sonic 3 Ice Cap Zone Trap Remix)

    in Post Your Game ReMixes!

    Posted

    Yes, i was saying to the doc himself how unbelievably precise this tune is. Neat and tidy delivery from halc, slick production work from yourself, Jewbei. Quite surprising to hear this from the pair of you, namely since i had known of you for those Trance-y tunes so a hiphop beat was refreshing, and halc has only been rapping for 4 minutes and yet somehow managed to up his speed already, lol.

    Great stuff!

    Sonic R remix album (WIPS due 5-31-14)

    Yeah, i'm still alive too. Just not been very active around here lately, i've had a lot going on.

    Spoke with halc about our track with Tuberz and we're still heading forward with that, so no worries there. Not sure when we're going to have something for you but we're definitely not dropping out or anything, that's for sure.

    SEGA Saturn 20th Anniversary Album is CANCELLED

    in Recruit & Collaborate!

    Ok. Real talk. And no direct offence intended when i say this.

    This project has not been handled well at all and i feel it's already caved in on itself.

    Firstly, communications have been really sparse, there has been no solid drive or focus on getting the mixers here to stay on course with deadlines. Secondly, raising the track-count to 50 is insane and a terrible idea when this project is clearly having trouble getting people to claim even a third of the current sources. You should be trimming down the track list, not adding more to it. You just said so yourself that you think you've bitten off more than you can chew by starting this project.

    You are also now thinking of stepping down as director after just raising the track amount to 50. So .... you're potentially going to leave it to somebody else to try and recruit mixers for 50 different songs? Because nobody is going to want a responsibility like that, people around OCR are busy enough as it is.

    I think this project should be shelved for the minute. Seriously. It's clearly in no state to continue stumbling along like this. Put it to the side and maybe someone can come along, dust it off a year from now and start it again, providing they know what they want to do with it.

    Again, no offence but this was not how i imagined a project of this scope to be handled.

    Really disappointed, quite frankly. Shame :?
