To the left is Earl, from the cult classic "Toejam and Earl" Genesis game of the mid 1990's. Wow. Dem were de days. This game had funk to spare, and managed to be entertaining and challenging and unique all at once, while remaining positive and groovin'. I hadn't ReMixed anything in a while - not sure if you guys NOTICED or not - and I felt this game badly needed some lovin', so I put together with some new samples this spaced-out funk fusion version of the main TJ&E theme. I'm proud of this and of my most recent ReMixes specifically because there are NO LOOPS involved, all the rhythm programming, which is fairly complex in this case, is done by moi :) check out da bassline, yo! hope yall like it ^^

I like the whiny lead and swept-filter bass; they're sort of cliche, but this an old song, and regardless: I like them.
The hopping rhythm is reminicent of "Fortuna Favors the Funk," and it makes me happy. The drums don't take a very up-front role, with synth percussion and bass driving most of the rhythm. Perhaps a little more development on the drum line could make it better, but it could also make it more cluttered. I like it the way it is, at least.

The beginning gets you listening but the rest sorta just loses your attention

i don't know why, but this remix kinda made me feel like i was cruisin' through the cosmos with the top down, wind whistling through my hair, as i bark at passing asteroids.
i know that doesn't make too much sense, but this remix is mentos cool.

DJP has mixed loud the way I like it. I can't believe how many people don't use the whole range that's available to them while mixing - put it up to the ceiling boyz!! Synths and pads everywhere, with the synth bass keeping the sanity. Synth lead lines come in and out all the time, taking turns at playing the main melody, and the EQ (particularly the mids) make the mix crisp and bright. Now is there a snare in here? Because I can't hear it if there is. It might be the original shining through here, but I really like the overall funky groove of this track. I was a little sad and worried today but after listening to this song it made me happier. Don't know why! Nice one for the big P. I think Lloydster could have done a little more variation in the track though. However, in it's current state it doesn't get boring, which is good.
