Good SID material for psy/goa

Post by GeckoYamori »

It's been a long while since my last C64 remix, and I thought I'd contribute to the scene a little. I'm also in the mood for making some Goatrance, so anything suited for that genre would be nice.

I was thinking Commando might be a good choice.

Tough. Perhaps Driller or Miami Vice.

This is an interesting subject.

I'm a LOT for making psytrance, and nearly every remix I start working on somehow goes psytrance, even times when I really don't want them to. =)

Fast tunes with few chord changes are natural techno/trance-remix material. From that point of view, SIDs are often not helping you with raw material, as they really swing back and forth on the scale... but they do provide interesting sources of inspiration.

In these cases I tend not to reproduce every part of a SID in the remix, but rather choose the parts that "fit". This, i find, is often practiced by remixers of non-SID songs (like Hardfloor, Ferry Corsten, and so on), but I think maybe this results in remixes that swerve away from the original too much to be appreciated by the majority of listeners. But hey... we remix for our own pleasure, right?

Sorry for going OT by the way. Couldn't help myself =)

Robocop 2 - for GOA!!

Post by Condor »

Since I've done a GOA remix of c64 Robocop 2 - tune 10, I can easily say that you should check this tune, trust me it's great, but hard to remix :D
But it was rejected from R:K:O - didn't gave me the reason why :?:

you can hear it at http://www.soundclick.com/brankobalsic

Greets.

I'll check these out... Later. Sadly, just after I considered this I got Half-Life 2, and, well... You know what happens.

OK, hah, it took a while but I'm finally on it. I have gone through a lot of SID but I finally decided for Commando. I'm going to post a WIP later.
