【HD REMIX 리믹스】U-Kiss (유키스) – Round And Round (빙글빙글) (areia remix)

March 52010

I want to start by saying that youtube has been messing up the audio quality of my last 3 videos. You can hear a lot of background noise, distortion and compression on the lower and higher frequencies. It might not sound any strange to you since you haven’t heard the track in full quality yet but after you listen to the mp3, you’ll know what I mean. The kick totally blasts my speakers in the mp3, while on the uploaded video the beat sounds quite distorted – that’s even in 720p. I’m investigating the reason and hopefully will fix it in time for the next videos. You can always download the mp3s and listen the songs in proper quality. For me it’s a very serious matter since I’m putting a lot of time on this and it’s a shame if it doesn’t come out to your ears as intended.

Now onto the song, I believe this is one of my best remixes ever and I think the reasons can be heard throughout the track. Strong beat, sharp bass and sharper flowing gated pads and leads. I don’t know if this satisfies your needs but for me it’s the definition of progressive house/trance as I was introduced to it in the late 90’s through Global Underground series and DJs such as Sasha, John Digweed, Dave Seaman and more.

Back then, along with a few very good friends, it was our absolute obsession. Our food was trance white label vinyls and our drink the various live mp3s of our beloved DJs. Each of us had at least one belt-driven pair of turntables and a cheap mixer. Getting the pitch and the cross patterns right became our second life; our lists of tracks that would mix well where compiled on a weekly basis.

Some of us were eventually able to DJ here and there and gain some stage experience. Middle-high schools would at times host parties inside their school’s gym – of course with formal approval and without alcoholic drinks. I began when I was younger as a secondary DJ then I became the first. Had to make arrangement for the sound systems, the lighting and of course prepare for my DJ set. No, this was not a cute formal party with balloons. 300-500 teenagers (including me) would dance all night to progressive trance magic. That was my magical – but sadly never satisfying – highschool years.

At that time I was trying to produce this kind of music. Software synthesizers back then would be almost non existent – with the few ones like VAZ requiring many seconds of processing before producing a sound. Hardware synths were out of question – try asking your parents for $2000 when you’re 16. Things have changed a lot since then. Software synthesizers are right on my desktop ready to fire on click.

That very unsatisfying feeling of never being able to produce what I wanted was always over my head when I was making music. These 25 remixes I have done throughout the last few months, with all of you guys supporting me and pushing me, were the last pieces in this large emotional puzzle. This track and its sounds are not random clicks here and there till it sounds right. They are exact stereotypes and memories as they emerge from those intense highschool times. That lead/pad sound at 0:52, I couldn’t even dream about making it back then; the beat/bass compilation at 1:10, there was no chance; 1:38 the voice pad, 1:55 the chord lead, 2:46….

This remix for me is a stereotype dream becoming reality. If you have time and you don’t mind leaving U-Kiss alone for a bit, I would suggest you also give a listen to the instrumental (dub) version as it contains all these feelings in their pure form.

That said, I feel U-Kiss have done a good job this time too and they keep raising in the charts. Once one of them (I don’t know their names well) said his dream is that they will become number 1 on some chart. I wish them that they will achieve this soon.

Here’s the download link. PLEASE don’t repost this instrumental on youtube.

Awesome Video Game Music 67: Drawcia

October 102009

Creepy tunes, yet WAY too awesome to make it to DVGM! These are both really wicked battle themes from an underrated game in the Kirby series.

Drawcia Sorceress: The second best witch theme out there, aside from… well, every Gruntilda Theme.

Drawcia Soul: EPIC FINAL BATTLE THEME FTW! This sounds really distorted, kind of like the twisted ball of pure paint that is Drawcia Soul.

Requested by DarthiPanda.
