Sonic Fan Remix

Melodies Zone and fan composer KB release Sonic The Fighters: Redux cover album digitally and on CD

by

Did you know that Sonic the Fighters turned 30 years old this year? Melodies Zone and composer Kamikaze Bitch (Henceforth KB) decided to celebrate the occasion with the release of a whole album covering the game’s entire soundtrack.

Sonic the Fighters was one of Sonic the Hedgehog’s very few arcade games and one of only two fighting games starring our favorite hedgehog (Not counting the Super Smash Bros. series). It was designed by the team at Sega AM2 that worked on Fighting Vipers and is very similar to that game, but with a very different kind of upbeat soundtrack originally composed by Maki Morrow and Takenobu Mitsuyoshi. Now, all 24 of the game’s songs were recently remixed by the talented EDM composer KB and compiled into a whole album now available to stream or purchase called Sonic the Fighters: Redux. As of this writing, there are even physical CDs you can buy if you’re one of the cool kids who collects those today.

The whole album maintains the entire upbeat, cartoonish nature of the game and its soundtrack, with an eclectic variety of instrumentation. As a love letter to Sonic the Fighters, it should please any fan of that game’s music and make clear what a fan KB himself is of the game (As well as a different fighting game series from Sega AM2, which you may be able to guess from the album art.) If you wanna hear this treat to the ears, gather all 8 Chaos Emeralds and take the one-seater rocket past the break to read more.

Melodies Zone debuts massive fan remix album for Sonic the Hedgehog’s 35th anniversary

by

You ask even the most jaded Sonic haters out there if there’s one thing they like about Sonic games, and they’re most likely to say its the music. Sonic seldom has a lacking soundtrack to go with any of the games, and to celebrate the 35th anniversary of this beloved franchise, Melodies Zone has come back with a new album of fan remixes of many of the most memorable songs throughout those 35 years.

Here, you’ll find a staggering 56 remixes from many known Melodies Zone composers like Hotline Sehwani, Lian Fort, Chief Takinawa, and Pixel Boy, as well as many brand new artists. Most of the games from the entire series are represented here, from the original game that started it all up to Sonic Racing: Crossworlds. Most of the remixes are relaxing, downtempo lo-fi, jazzhop, and chillhop, serving as perfect background tunes for relaxing or working with comforting memories of enjoying your favorite Sonic games to get you through the day, but there are a couple from a variety of more high energy music genres such as metal, drum & bass, and future funk to compliment a workout that Sonic himself would find fulfilling.

Sounds like a good listen? Come on in past the break and get ready to juice and jam.
