Though it's (finally) gotten warmer 'round these parts, a slick, icy Slalom ReMix of the fashion Mazedude gives us is welcome irregardless of the weather. Mixing synth-pop with some jungle/d'n'b style percussion, this mix starts off with synth bells and the familiar sixteenth-note melodic pattern, with rapid hi-hats coming in and bass hits and additional percussion gradually being layered in until the unexpected drop-out at 0'31", with everything turning down a notch and lead synth doing a little solo/duet harmony thing. There's some more aggressive percussion then brought in and some choral work as well, and a very cool quiet section towards the end. There's also all manner of goofy, weird sound effects - maybe Chris was playing around feeding his tracker .EXE and .TXT files again, not sure :) The repetition towards the end did get on my nerves a little bit, as here the choral sample isn't used as subtlely as previously in the mix and the same couple measures repeat themselves several times. I suppose that's the "slalomicide" part, perhaps... Regardless of some of the last bits, this takes a peppy downhill racing theme and reworks it, in particular adding mucho action and goings-on in the rhythm department, into something not entirely serious but nevertheless fun. Not Chris's best work, but a solid arrangement that even pulls some nice, unexpected changes in dynamics at points. Good stuff.
