(idea) Video Game Dance Beat

[CC Ricers]

It shall be a website. But the title should give away what it should be about. And maybe with a less corny name.

Good idea? Stupid idea?

I see a lot of remixers putting out some catchy dance mixes that for various reasons are not qualified to make it on the OCR front page. Perhaps we could use a site that puts the emphasis on "groovy choons" over interpretation. In other words, video game dance covers. But we would still need a way to keep quality in check. That I can be certain of.

And high-bitrate tracks for DJ use, dammit!

One of my favorite Remixes of all time was Donkey Kong Country "Strolling the Mines" by Rapture. Very danceable, but got removed from OCR due to usage of the source material.

I think that'd make a lot of people happy.

The tag system isn't quite perfect yet, but it should net you a decent amount of search results.

I'm responding to this kinda late. Just wanted to say that the idea is good, but I feel most VG remixes I hear aren't suited (or good enough) for club play.

They don't have to be good enough for club play...just good enough to groove at home.

The rating system might be done like VGMix, where it's totally up to the users to judge. Uploading the tracks might be the biggest challenge for me because bandwidth for music (especially if we'll use higher quality like FLAC) doesn't come cheap.

But for now, this concept is still kinda on the backburner until I come up with mor ideas (from myself and others).
