WillRock

I've noticed people are doing rather interesting narrative stuff, so you know what? I'm gunna join in!

Before butthurt there must be drama. Before drama, there must be trash talking. On that note, Block Rockmen Beats, teh team of witch I reside, will rock all ur asses, because we r Teh Block Rockmen Beats, and we Beat ur Blocks off, because we r teh Block Rockman Beats. We r, the Beast fucking team, on this plant. Anyone who disagrees, fuck them, ya no. We are hear to put out a message. We r da block rockmen beats. WE ROOOOOO. We dont try to negocate or come 2 terms... FUCK U, ya no. N' we shall win, n' if u dont like it then fuck u! ya no.

I'm assuming thats sarcasm but JUST IN CASE I meant popular sources, not "good". Bad choice of words on my part. And brandon I shall get to your WIP asap... sorry its taken me so long, been pretty busy lately

Here are a few of my personal favs this year http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR02180/ - A mix of LeChucks theme from Heroes vs villains, pretty awesome Stevie Wonder style funk, many people (quite rightly) reckon its the best track on the album. http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR02190/ - Probably the best green hill zone remix EVER, fantastic melodic electro-pop. http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR02242/ - bLiNd did Drum n' Bass and completely hit a home run. One of his best. http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR02254/ - The Overclocked Plaid Muffins need no introduction, they are basically the OCR's ultimate collaboration group. http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR02256/ - Protodome completely jazzed out the Missingno Tracks and this was his best offering on the project imo. http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR02259/ - Level 99 and Akumajobelmont joined forces in one of OCRs best project mixes. http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR02312/ - Awesome piano rendition of a Zelda classic... get this one. This really is the Project year for OCR, there are many that you will have heard before i'm sure but there are some real gems this year. There are many more to come as well, its been a great year for OCR

I'm really loving the creative way the sources are utilized here, and the harmonies are just so lush and beautiful... a fantastic piece of work here, like everything else you do. Yes its rather liberal but I have no trouble making the connections to the sources here. My biggest gripe here is the cut off ending. It just stops dead, sounds very unnatural. Thats the nitpick of nitpicks tho. I'd love to collab with you sometime

For the record, I'm in charge of quality control so its probably more ideal for any newcomers to contact me for that reason. To be safe, it might be worth contacting both of us via PM, that way its more likely one of us will reply to you And GuitahHeroe is on board with LoZ! You guys better claim your tracks quick before all the good ones are gone!

Yeah this is cool. Pretty catchy stuff, and like protodome says, nice chords (for the record, protodome is the chords master so getting that praise from him is a good thing - NICE chords) One small production crit tho - you might want to lessen the automated panning on the Rhodes, nice idea but its a little too strongly panned and its a little distracting. Nice work tho, WillRock Likey!

Yeah these sigs are the shit, thanks!

My team with halc and nutritious is called "Block Rockmen Beats" since names are being mentioned again.

I think the response to this mix shows us that Dubstep isn't really a style you can just make a generic mix for without some form of backlash. Something tells me this had to happen but its a real shame it had to happen on the first post of a newly crowned OCRemixer, who probably is still trying to perfect his style, and is probably going to take these criticisms to heart when he reads the response. Honestly, I'm not really a fan of dubstep. But if you play this to the dubstep crowd, they would probably dig this, and I am sure there are plenty of people who will love this mix. For the record, I think that this was waiting to happen - Dubstep is a fairly limited style of music compared to some others (many same gimmicky ideas that the style relies on + tempo and instrumental similarities some other styles are more lenient with) and the fact its so overground means that the fans will have heard something like this before, and the haters will just hate. This just happened to be the mix that people made an example of. Lastly, a quick message for Teagan Kelk - Don't be discouraged by the response here. Keep on submitting because you'll only get better as time goes on, and we'll love to hear how you progress as an artist.

Can't say i'm digging this. Dubstep for me is a limited style as it is, and while some of it has merit when people really do something creative, this doesn't cut the mustard for me. As it is, this is very generic, the wobble bass gimmick is used quite prominently here, like so much more dubstep, and those drums sound so generic and cheap it hurts. The synths generally seem rather cheap sounding to me, and the arrangement isn't so inspired... for a first mix this is ok, but dubstep is way overground now and I think its time that we heard something different. I feel kinda nasty for picking on this mix, and i'd like to have it known that I mean no disrespect to the mixer of this song. Its just Dubstep is the in thing right now and if you want to stick out from the crowd with dubstep, you really gotta come up with something special. Dubstep fans will be sure to dig this, but for me... I've heard this before, too many times. Sorry

Ok, the stance here is that Pokemon Pinball is a spin off and as long as halc uses original music from that game (which he is doing), the main pokemon series is good to go. Pokemon is now claimed by Dusk. Moomba - nice skills man, who are you and why haven't I heard of you...

Yep that sounds agreeable to me, nice mix Bad 'N Rad Claimed

If you wanna be on a team go and put a team together or ask if you can join a team, rather than expecting people to ask you to join theirs. Your chances of getting on a team are much much higher that way.

Just to add to this list: Fishy, Sixto Sounds and OA. Def get Gecko, Txai and Zircon back in on this cause the having the last 2 people in each compo all competing here would be pretty awesome.

If you're turning down rozo you'd better have a good person in his stead

Hahaha all the guitars here were mine, minus that guitar solo at the end, which was stevo. Thats the solo I was refering to in the write up. He actually contributed the Drum Samples, some drum writing, and Mastering. As for "living up to my name" I certainly intend to do it. Unfortunately, my guitar has a very nasty habit of buzzing whenever I try and record my guitars due to electrical equipment interfering with the guitar signal, which makes doing this style extremely difficult for me. I didn't have the issue when I was at uni, but i'm currently living at home and I haven't found a good place to record my guitar there... So for now, doing rock music is hard. Once i've sorted out these issues tho, I'll be doing alot more rock style remixes... I am called WillRock for a reason

Thank you! My team agrees with you entirely. I was a little concerned that because of not knowing what robot masters we would be, people would go for names relating to the series in general. Reason thats not a great thing is that it's surprisingly limiting... all the names I've seen so far, my group came up with variations of ourselves when trying to name our group.

Ok... er... We are thus called Block Rockmen Beats!

Ok, I've got a team together! Nutritious, halc, and myself. Together, we are.... Halctritious Rock Get exited!

My Five Robot Master Picks. Crash Man Air Man Magnet Man Skull Man Wood Man Nearly got a group together, its only a matter of time

Anyone interested in teaming up with me? Lets rock this Remix Gauntlet!

Before we allow anyone to do a Game Boy game, I think its only fair that in the event of not knowing the games music, we hear the actual music from the game boy version first. Not that we don't trust your judgement or anything, just to be professional Ok you're on. TMNT2 Claimed. Do us proud.
