I feel like I've posted this before, but if so, it bears repeating. Fuckers.

Anyone who's a fan of video game music has probably heard of OCRemix.com, short for Over Clocked Remix... whatever. It's a collaborative site for music remixers and so-called DJs to upload their shit and share it. And it's awesome.

Anyways, they had a collaborative project in 2004 to remix the Donkey Kong music. Because it fucking rocks.

What is Kong in Concert?

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.

How was this album produced?

The project began April, 2004 when artists were brought together to chose whichever track they wished to arrange, regardless of how many had chosen it. Once all arrangements were complete, contentions were resolved by a peer review in which everyone involved in the project was included. The two competing arrangements deemed by majority vote to be superior were selected for those two tracks (Theme and The Credits Concerto) on the album. After the album was finalized and the project was complete, Kong in Concert was released on September 12th, 2004. This album is in no way commercial and is free to download.

We hope you enjoy.


I highly suggest you download and enjoy it. It spreads from very techno-esque to jazz and even love-funk (which, oops, I forgot to skip when I played it over my store's speakers the other day.) "Josh, what the fuck are we listening to?" (blood drains from my face.)
