But unfortunately it won't be on NG, I can't believe the site expects me to reach out to a video game company for permission to post a remix. It's not like I took the original song, changed the pitch, and said "yep this is good I'm going to post this". Although it's mostly the notes and chord of the original song, I still put effort.

So, which remix is this?

It's the ambient/dubstep one that I talked about. I decided to spend some time on it, because I really like the project so far. The dubstep part is real snarly too, so I hope you like it. Some might complain it's repetitive, but all I can say is listen to the original song and you'll see the original has not much more variation than my remix. And because it's my first remix I'm actually finishing, I was too scared to throw in some original melody twist. I'll do that risky crap on an original mix.

So, what song did I remix?

This isn't really the song I wanted to remix, but I can't play by ear and vgmusic.com didn't have the midi I wanted so I went with this one. This is a song from a game called Ape Escape, a game I'm slightly sure you never heard of until the 2014 remake of the first game, maybe earlier if you had the PSP spin-off, maybe earlier if you were around for the release of the third main series game in 2006. The first Ape Escape game released in 1999 was the first game I ever touched around the age of 3 (so probably around 2004 or 5). It's still pretty nostalgic to me.

Before I even got into EDM, I spent my time listening to OST. Ape Escape had great OST for it's time. I did not realize until I really became a fanatic for EDM, half of the game's OST is drum and bass. So, for example, Primordial Ooze (alternatively called Raining Lake depending on which country you live in) is 160 BPM, and I'm drastically lowering it to 70 BPM. It's going to be quite interesting. But tbh, 70 BPM isn't as slow as I thought.

I have a feeling I'm going to get very mixed feelings about this track. I'll explain when I release it through SoundCloud (no one really checks my YT).
