Rozovian Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I'm gonna DJ a ballroom event next week, thought I'd inject some vgm culture into it. The emphasis seems to be on waltz and tango according to the request list I've got. You guys know any good vgm or remixes along those lines? Chiptunes are cool, but they tend to not have quite the same grandeur as orchestral stuff. Then again, I'd be fine with electronica too, as long as it fits the ballroom rhythms. The ideal would be a waltz in about 114 bpm, but I'll consider anything and everything. And if anyone knows of a version of Uematsu's Waltz Suomi (FFV) that doesn't lose tempo in the breaks like the Dear Friends version, that'd be awesome. Other than the chip original, thatis. So, ballroom vgm or arrange/remix suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 This mix instantly comes to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperion5182 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Second that. Let me look over my library and i know there are some more. However if you can go PURE VGM instead of remix. Get the full length ff8 graduation party music. *checks library* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteo Xavier Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 You want a waltz and you didn't ask me? I'm shocked Rozovian. You're sleeping on the couch tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozovian Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 Valse Aeris is the first that came to mind for me as well, but it's a tad too fast. It's on my list, tho. Waltz for the Moon, eh? Good call. Added to the list. Any cool versions of it besides the original? Meteo... shuddup. It's on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontamer Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Waltz time. http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01459/ The tempo here is too fast to dance to, unless you time your moves for every 6 beats rather than every 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 The Comet Observatory from Super Mario Galaxy is straight up waltz. It is basically Tchaikovsky's Waltz for Flowers for video games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleJCrb Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Tango, you say? This one would probably go over pretty funnily: http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01457/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozovian Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 Nice, folks. I've already been through SMG and SMG2 for tracks, so that one was already on the list. Moar. MOAR. MOOOOAAAR!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteo Xavier Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 It's on the list. I'll give YOU a list! ...wait, let's try that again. I'll list YOU! There we go, thats the one I want. Send him in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I beg to differ. This isn't a chiptune and it uses only 2 instrument tracks. You would have to put in effort to find a song sparser than that.

Native Jovian Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 First thing I thought of was FFVIII's . I mean, come on guys: it's used during an actual ballroom dance scene, and it's got "waltz" right in the title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizyr Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 The orchestral version of Fragments of Memories (FF8) is fantastic for this: KF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drugbird Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Hi everybody, I'm a DJ at a student ballroom dancing association and I'm looking for some video game music that is also suitable for ballroom dancing. I was wondering if anyone here has experience with both ballroom dancing and VG music that could point me to some good, danceable music (original or remixed is both fine). Thanks in advance!

ZealPath Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 from FF8 comes to mind, how appropriate it "actually is" for ballroom dancing, I have no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
