I won Something

The wonderfully named Robinson Mason of the great c64walkabout podcast held a Holiday Remixing Contest, with a prize going to the winner.

I entered this tune;

Despite it not been good, and only taking 15 minutes to create, this tune won. Mainly because it was the only tune entered into the competition, but that’s just a minor detail. My prize was a PC version of the Defender of the Crown Remake.

Clean up Time (Subtune 1)

My third remix was based on Karl Hörnell’s Clean Up Time (Subtune 1). I was inspired to remix this track after hearing Boz playing this on his BBB show on SlayRadio and as I’d promised Anna Black another crappy remix for her Anorak show the following Monday, I quickly knocked this one up.


I usually like to change the notes about in a crappy remix, so it sounds comically out of tune, that was difficult to do with this remix, as when a changed the notes it was almost impossible to notice. So I added some really basic slightly of time drums (inspired by many a poor Amiga MOD using ST-01 sounds) and that strange vocal sample, which again was found on the internet.

Ok, you are now fully up to date with my crappy back catalogue.
