https://youtu.be/1tdyZBwyn5c Believe or not but the main funky groove in this remix is inspired by Bruno Mars' song 24K Magic. This makes my second modern pop inspired remix, but of course there are several other inspirational sources that goes in this remix as well. Yoshi's Island music always trigger a great deal of memories for me since I got this game for christmas 1995 or 1996 when it was more or less new. I was in 5th or 6th grade and jeez, me and my little brother played it for hours and hours that christmas holiday. This is a game I always will come back to and make remixes from. There are some new stuff and instruments I've never did/used before here (I love experimenting with sounds and harmonies): At 2:08 I use a "chiptuney" (sinewave) organ that's similar to an instrument used in the original OST of Yoshi's Island. And I wrote it in a classical/sacral harmony. Speaking of classical, the part starting at 1:03 is very inspired by classical music and sort of requiem. And when the solo comes in at 1:21 it's like a neo classical solo with similarities to the guitar virtuoso Yngwie J Malmsteen. One last thing to mention is at the end of each solo where I used 64th notes juggling one octave and meanwhile playing a melody/scale, I wanted to capture some of the music you can hear on Commodore 64, NES and Game Boy. And there are two sampled sound effects from the game, can you find them? I'm not often do this, but I actually picked up the tempo from the original 100 bpm to 105, it felt too slow for my remix. I tried 110 bpm but that went way too fast instead xD Anyway, I hope you can enjoy this remix and that it brings some sweet memories to you! Cheers, Neon X

Zup humans! Been working on a remix of the underground theme from yoshi's island for the past 5 days. Its a WIP and I feel like my ears have become numb from listening to it for 5 days straight and I really need to hear what other people think about the mix and the arrangement.
