OverClocked ReMix is a video game music community with tons of fan-made ReMixes and information on video game music.
I figured since we're currently in a reawakening to decentralized and special purpose forums and websites, now might be a good time to remind people of OCRemix. Or help someone discover it for the first time.
@wagesj45 Great idea! I know and listen to OC Remixes since over a decade I think, when it was relatively small. Its my favorite non commercial music platform ever. They respect the original songs and artists, it's really a place from fans for fans.
@SCmSTR Dang! You are right, if I think about it. Learned about OC Remix in early 2000s. Wow. Forgot how old I am... Literally remember how I bring mp3 files to my friends home to show off how crazy songs there are.
Lol did you do it on cd, some device, or during a lan ^.^
I still have folders on my hdds that have migrated from very old hdds that are like "xxxPersonNames music" that we used to just copy during our small lans around 2003. I gotta check now to see if I have any old ocremix files in there from around that time. I bet I do...
@SCmSTR No we never did Lan parties at home unfortunately. :-( But we played a lot of fighting games back then and the repeating songs got old. So we often just turned down the music and played something from hard drive. :-) So in a sense like LAN parties without LAN. Can we call it WLAN Party? :D
And in the past I experienced the worst thing that could have happened to anyone: Losing all personal data on HDDs! My younger self didn't know that backups was important.
I used to be a frequent poster/commenter on OCR and the lesser known parody site OverLooked Remix way back in the day. It always warms my heart to see that site still going strong and seeing remixes from it used during Speedrun marathons on twitch
There was a remix of Gato's Song from Chrono Trigger where they performed it in several different styles and added in a crowd booing after every performance that strangely stuck with me after all these years.
I remember that one, Gato's Song was such a strong theme for a literally one-scene character, their riffing on him and his original dialog was brilliant.
Oh man, I forgot all about OC Remix! I miss some of the bizarre "techno version" songs people would make there. I remember having some really weird mp3s on my Zune of remixes from Diablo 1 songs.
my god i had an iriver back in college. that thing was the best music player. had that srs wow built in and sounded amazing. i loved that thing so much. that and my zune. i miss my dedicated hardware.
I almost bought an iRiver after one of my best friends at school showed me how he could play music videos on his. This was back in like 2004/2005 or so, so that was super impressive tech at the time.
I haven't thought about OCRemix in like 20 years. Can't believe it's still around! I used to download songs off here and play them through WinAmp while playing EverQuest, which had pretty dire music.
Same!!! I probably used it about 20 years ago and, until this post, had completely forgotten it existed. Holy crap how time flies. I can't believe it's still a thing and going strong.
OMG I haven't been to OC Remixed in years. They've been at it for a long time and I've known some interesting mixes from there. I think I still have them somewhere on a hard drive.
