Some of you may already know from seeing me stream, but I am working on a pack based on tracks created by bLiNd. Most (or all?) of his music is EDM, and over the years he created a ton of video game music, lots of which is free at braillerecords.com (check out his 101% album here). One of the tracks I am using for that MSU is his track ‘Aerofunknamics (Funky’s Fugue)’, which is featured in 101%.
I did some digging, and it turns out that he created this Donkey Kong Country inspired track waaaay back in 2004, for an album called “Kong in Concert”. An excerpt from the Kong in Concert website about the album reads as follows:
“Kong in Concert is a collaborative arrangement project born from the music of Donkey Kong Country and created for the purposes of reviving, reinterpreting, and rearranging its entire soundtrack with our combined talents; honoring those who originally composed it; and reawakening the nostalgia and love for a landmark videogame.“
It was listed on OC Remix, so I continued to dig further and found 2 more albums: “Serious Monkey Business” based on DKC 2, and then “Donkey Kong Country 3 – Double The Trouble” based on DKC 3.
Altogether between the 3 albums (linked below) there are 134 killer tracks that really highlight the amazing music originally produced by David Wise for the DKC series. I was blown away by how many there were and how much I loved listening to them.
This MSU pack has been a labor of love since discovering these albums late last year – it took a while to find/download all the tracks, filter through them to make the right choices, loops, etc. There were some I just couldn’t decide on, so I have added them as alternatives. Through my research I also found some additional tracks that I really loved, and made sure to get them into the pack (also linked below). Every track is killer, but if I had to pick some of my favorites, they’d be the remixes of Fear Factory (Mire), Flight of the Zinger (Ice Palace), and Disco Train (Thieves).
One final note, there is one track in this pack that is not an OC Remix track, it’s Stickerbush Symphony by an artist named Frozenith, which is used for POD. When you hear that track you’ll see why I included it here. And while I am using their free version of the track (linked below), Frozenith’s stuff is fantastic, and you should immediately go listen/buy some of their albums. Check out their website here.
Enjoy!
