Woohoo!
I finally got the desire to reach out to bLiNd to see if he’d give me permission to publish his MSU, and it only took him a couple of hours to respond with “Absolutely!! Go for it!”. THANK YOU bLiNd!
For those of you who don’t know bLiNd, he makes awesome remixes of old video games from different electronic music genres. Here is an excerpt from his website:
“Nostalgia is a part of my sound, so I remix worthy source tunes from old video games into a variety of electronic genres. Because of that fact, I have produced many original albums in a wide variety of electronic genres as well but one overarching truth to the sound itself is this – It’s high quality, it will lift your mood or energy level, and when it comes to the remixes, they will throw you back to a sunny day in your childhood.”
As mentioned in my DKC OC Remix MSU post, I stumbled upon his Aerofunknamics track, which sent me down this rabbit hole of research into bLiNd, OCRemix and other great remixed tunes. And while starting the OC Remix MSU, I also purchased bLiNd’s Remix Anthology figuring it would be well worth it (it was).
This anthology includes 229 tracks covering “every single remix” he’s ever made. It was only $25 to purchase all of the music, and I highly recommend supporting him if you like this type of music! Here’s the link to the anthology, where you can also see a full track listing of what’s included.
Back to the MSU – if you have ever watched me on stream, you’ve likely seen me using it as its easily one of my favorites and is near the top of my rotation. I love EDM/trance and pairing it with old school video game music is right up my alley. I concur with his assessment “It’s high quality, it will lift your mood or energy level, and when it comes to the remixes, they will throw you back to a sunny day in your childhood.”
EVERY time I play with this MSU, it brings the warm and fuzzies and immediately gets me pumped up to play. Once again – a big thanks goes out to bLiNd himself for graciously giving the thumbs up. Please consider supporting him!
