OceansAndrew Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Your ReMixer name: Flexstyle Your real name: Michael Birch Your email address: music@flexstylemusic.com Your website: flexstylemusic.com Your userid: 22246 ReMix URL: Game ReMixed: Donkey Kong Country 3 (GBA) - Brothers Bear Title of ReMix: Thump Brothers Source: ***PROJECT MIX*** This particular tune on the DKC3 album was originally going to be a massive rap collab headed up by Diggi Dis and other OCR artists, but that whole deal kinda fell through toward the end of the project. So, I simply grabbed it, got some great inspiration in the form of an older tune of mine known as Chain Reaction (found at http://flexstyle.bandcamp.com/track/chain-reaction), and voila! Bouncy, happy fun! I sampled the harmonica from the original (all 1.5 seconds of it), since it was kinda what defined the song, hope that's kosher. And yes, I did the beatboxing m'self. Enjoy!
OceansAndrew Posted September 19, 2011 Author Posted September 19, 2011 Pretty cool sound here, and some creative ideas that end up sounding polished and well executed. The ending was a little weak, but overall this had some great beats, varied instrumentation, and stayed true to the source while presenting something new and exciting. Good stuff. Yes
DragonAvenger Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 Jooj-Cat is going nuts...I'm not sure if it's just because he's being weird right now, or the song. Either way. YES
Emunator Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 I think I can feel comfortable enough closing this one out. I'm really satisfied with the killer stadium-rock sound you've got going on, it's very reverb-heavy but still retains a lot of punch. Great use of sampling, both from the original and your custom beatboxing I dig this so hard. YES
