This sale ONLY happens 365 days a year, so to celebrate we've got a nice Autumnally-titled, high-octane d'n'b + sizzing electric guitar Undertale ReMix from Faseeh (Faseeh Deen), following up a fun EDM Sonic Colors debut from last year & teaming up with newcomer Tiago Rodrigues on guitar:

"Undertale, a game I dearly love and has made me cry and laugh at the same time. Beautiful masterpiece. The music especially blew my mind. Couldn't help but arrange this track.

When I played the game, I probably died at least 9 times on this boss. Toby agrees it's one of the hardest, and I guess that inspired me to go for this chaotic rendition. The energy in drum and bass is great, but rock 'n bass is even better. :P Tiago is an amazing guitarist, and he totally delivered on this track through his guitar solos. Glad to have collaborated with him!

Imagine this whole track as an interactive video game music track. The introduction represents the encounter, the attacks switch every time the track changes sections, Muffet's pet comes out for the guitar solo, and the breakdown is the part where you're genuinely sweating and are scared to death."

Awesome, assertive stuff here, mixing modern EDM production with more traditional d'n'b, then adding Tiago's searing electric git to the mix, THEN even getting a little funky & adding some shuffle towards the end. Judges had some concerns about crowding on the production side & the ending, from an arrangement perspective, but the majority felt that neither was a dealbreaker. Gario writes:

"There's a lot of energy in this - the guitar work is great, and the background drums are filled to the brim with hats, snare and all sorts of knick knacks that makes for a rich sounding drumline. Pretty cruel to leave us hanging on that ending, though - it's begging for a cadence to end it all that you simply don't deliver on. That's just mean. Ending and small crowding aside, I think this is a pretty good track. I love the Spider Dance source, and I enjoyed the style you went with for it. Nice work!"

I dig d'n'b in general, but I always prefer it when things get changed up & there's a bit of genre-bending going on, so this is perfect for me - breakneck speed, agile beats, some face-melting electric guitar, and even a brief swing into funkyland. Creative, passionate, & a cool narrative take on the source from Faseeh & Tiago!
