Newcomer Czyszy (Marek Król) debuts with an upbeat rock take on colorful Konami shooter Detana!! TwinBee mixed with some Magical Drop III:

"Originally submitted to Dwelling of Duels. The guitar, bass, ukulele, and balalaika tracks are live."

It's not every day we get a mix with live balalaika; класс. Like the source material, this bubbles with energy & has a rather sunny disposition, but Marek expands the instrumentation & injects some additional oomph with his take, weaving the themes together into a unified & plucky whole. Gario writes:

"Not at all familiar with the sources, but when I listen to them, you do them justice! They blend together seamlessly, with an arrangement that tells its own story. The clapping in the beginning is a little odd (sounds like you were going for a "live" element, there), but it doesn't take from what you present overall. Excellent production and mastering compliment this, which really takes it over the top, for me. Great work!"

Fadeout ending is a *smidge* underwhelming, but the live performances, crisp production, and generally spirited & positive temperament more than make up for it. We don't see a ton of X68K/Neo-Geo or classic Konami SHMUP mixage these days, and it's worth mentioning that prozax covered Detana!! first back in 2014... just so I can write "BUTTS" with a big, bold link. Rock solid rock debut from Czyszy, whose name would be worth 8 million points in Scrabble if proper nouns were Kosher & who turns in an enjoyable, invigorating, Duel-tested TwinBee/Magical Drop debut!

I appreciate the round of applause this remix gave me in the beginning, you're too kind. The percussion was the highlight of this remix for sure, it was fun to follow. That bass was super funky and fun to follow along as well! Great job on this1
