OC ReMix presents TimeShift: The OverClocked ReMix 25th Anniversary Album!

ATLANTA, GA... OverClocked ReMix today released its 80th arrangement album, TimeShift: The OverClocked ReMix 25th Anniversary Album. Celebrating the conclusion of VGM arrangement community OC ReMix's 25th year, the album primarily honors game soundtracks released after OC ReMix's creation in 1999. Featuring 19 assorted arrangements created by a myriad of musicians -- including vocals in the opener from 2026 GRAMMY nominee, Mega Ran -- TimeShift is directed by OC ReMixer, lyricist, and statistician Dyluck, and is available for free download at https://timeshift.ocremix.org.

Featuring arrangements in rap, rock, jazz, orchestral, EDM, synthwave, disco, and more, in the effort to embrace a new nostalgia, "the challenge was laid down to make an album that took the focus away from the old, though well-loved, stalwarts of OCR and focused instead on the VGM younger than the site, to rearrange the new classics and to make new discoveries," according to director Dyluck. TimeShift was made by fans, for fans, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any game companies; all original compositions are copyright their respective owners.

TimeShift's focus on modern video game scores includes:

  • Animal Crossing: Wild World
  • The Binding of Isaac
  • Bloodborne
  • Castle Crashers
  • Crypt of the NecroDancer
  • Dark Souls III
  • Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
  • Final Fantasy XIV
  • Final Fantasy XVI
  • Horizon Zero Dawn
  • Kirby & The Amazing Mirror
  • Lisa: The Painful
  • Outer Wilds
  • SimCity 4
  • Slay the Spire
  • Stardew Valley
  • Stellaris; and
  • ValiDate: Struggling Singles in Your Area.

"That's not to say that the old classics haven't made it onto here, because what's a 25th birthday party without some greatest hits?" asked director Dyluck. TimeShift also features older games arranged by a contributor born after OCR was established, with chiptune specialist JSABlixer taking on classic games including:

  • Chrono Trigger
  • Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest; and
  • The Fire Emblem series (Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, Fire Emblem Gaiden, Fire Emblem: Thracia 776).

The album's cover artwork was designed by OC ReMixer and game composer Adrian "gravitygauntlet" Wahrer, and inspired by color schemes of three different site designs in OC ReMix's history: orange, indigo, and silver.

"Whether you take this album as a mere mile-marker or the source of inspiration for the next great work, the arrangers and I hope you enjoy this selection of ReMixes," offered director Dyluck. "Here's to the next 25 years!"
