Makke - BMX Kidz (New Jack Swingish)
I was messing around with a new jack swing inspired beat and bassline for a long time, not really sure what to do with it. I looked for SIDs to apply the sound to, trying it out both on Zak McKracken and ACE II, but nothing ever quite came of it.
Then I remembered the BMX Kidz beat and figured there might be something there, and it came together quite quickly. I hope you enjoy it!
Lyrics
I see them looking, with envy in their eyes
It's you they want, I can tell
They say I'm crazy, I really don't care
I know I ring your bell
You know I'd like to take you up to bed
But - you've got to stay in the shed
I wanna ride you day and night
You best believe it, 'cus you're my favourite type of bike
I wanna
I'm gonna
Ride my bike now , 'cus we're the BMX kidz
You wanna
You're gonna
Ride your bike now , 'cus we're the BMX kidz
'Cus I need the type o' cycle that's built to last
And there's nothing better, present or past
I don't wanna run, I don't wanna stroll
And electric bikes ain't got no soul
'Cus I take pride in the way I ride
Don't get in my way, step aside
It's better than drugs, better than sex
I'm telling you brother it's a B-M-X

Overall rating
Wow, where should I begin?
The production is top-notch, it nails that 90s style to the T. The lyrics is sooo clever while it also ties back to the original C64 game. And it's performed flawlessly.
This is an amazingly polished remix through and through.
