Ancient Lake (Player2 Remix) - Diddy Kong Racing

[@AbbieWillett]

Player2 continues to be my favourite VGM remix artist

[@ProducerPlayer2]

You are _too_ kind!!! 🧡 Thank you!!!

[@Jeremo-FD]

Same

[@The_Sofa_King]

I never grew up with this game but I understand why people love it. Great remix as always!

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Oh yeah it was huuuuuuge in the N64 era. It had a remake on the NDS but it didn't live up to the hype of the original! Thank you!! 🙌

[@delanolatupeirissa6380]

Even i didnt play DKR but still the music 🎶👍 sounds really N1CE Keep it up P2

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Rest assured, if it's a song I'm remixing, it's bound to be a banger 😎

[@J0YST1Kmusic]

I've never actually played Diddy Kong Racing, but love the soundtrack of the game! Whenever you pump out a new remix, I listen to the original song first to see how you changed it up to that special Player2 style! What you did here was fantastic! 🔥🔥🔥

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Oh my gosh, you should definitely play it!! Well worth the time put into this fantastic game 🙌 Oooo I like that idea of listening to the original first; especially for a song you haven't heard before! I'm glad you enjoyed the P2 twist 🔥

[@tippy468]

Ah yes! There's that voice sample cueing the beat switchup! You never fail to bring the hype!

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Haha! I'm always keeping the listener on their feet 🕺

[@UncleKatoYT]

Let's freaking go! The nostalgic BOPS dont stop coming 🔥🔥

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Haha you know it!! Always bringing back those hidden gems of classic video game OSTs!! 🔥

[@TheLegendaryyoshi]

Not only was the song great, but the transitions in the video were super clean. They even match with the song well? Hot dang, just wanted to show the video editing some love.

[@ProducerPlayer2]

I’ve actually been paying even more attention to detail over the past few months on video editing; i’m almost enjoying the process of video editing just as much as the music production at this point, haha 😅 Thank you for a wonderful compliment on the video editing; glad I’m heading in the right direction! 🔥

[@Akuma007yt]

God this is so great, thank you so much for making this and making DKR content. You do such incredible mixes, keep up the amazing work !!

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Of course!! DKR music is phenomenal; I’m glad to give it some appreciation! 🙌

[@TheologyVGM]

A BOP INDEED :D

[@ProducerPlayer2]

WE BOPPIN! 🔥

[@JayGrechy]

This is it! This was how I found you all those years ago!!! It's soooo nostalgic hearing a new remix of it again😍 I think your old version is my most listened to track of all time ahahaha! I see Player 2 has uploaded a Diddy Kong Racing or Banjo-Kazooie track and I immediately click!! Thankyou soooo much for this, I agree Ancient Lake by itself is already a banger❤‍🔥

[@ProducerPlayer2]

This is legendary!! Hopefully my skills have improved over the years, haha 🙌 Thank you so much man; i’m honored to have had you as a fan for such a long time! 🔥 Keep an eye out for a solo remix of the DKR Boss Challenge in the near future!! 👀

[@JayGrechy]

@@ProducerPlayer2 OMG YESS the hype is reaaaall!!!😍

[@SteelDragon8]

Heck yeah man! This is awesome! I love your generous use of brass synths, they sound so full and powerful! Especially with the punchy percussion! And the bass on the drops at 1:14 and 3:18 just sounds so dang good! I'm all for beach music bangers in December! :D

[@ProducerPlayer2]

A song like this just screamed “brass!” So I couldn’t say no to implement a variety of horns!! 🙌 pair those with a deep in-your-face bass & WHAMO you’ve got yourself a spicy banger sandwich 🔥 Haha, thank you!!!

[@HANABI_Music]

The minimalist touch 💯❤

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Adding _just_ enough to make it a banger 🔥

[@TheCreepypro]

what a remix! this lake has never sounded so fresh!

[@nebuchadnezzar8683]

I love chilling and relaxing while I watch the race from the highest of views!

[@ProducerPlayer2]

That’s what I like to hear!! 🙌

[@ManishP-kt5po]

Damn Daniel, this remix slaps harder than Will Smith!

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Love the bass in the beginning 😎

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Super glad to hear you liked it!! I appreciate your support!! 🔥

[@SomeGalNamedEve]

I love all the sound effects you used in this one lol

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Yeah I had fun with the chiptuney synths, haha. And the frog sample was too good to pass up 😅

[@gypsy7016]

Yyeeeeessssssss. Sorry I haven't been commenting much! Been busy with life but still listen to your songs everyday while working. I'm gonna have to agree with another comment I saw. "The minimalist touch" is a beautiful thing in your hands.

[@ProducerPlayer2]

HE'S BACK! I've missed you, glad to see you around the comments section! But I totally understand life can get hectic, haha. Yeah I'm good at throwing in _just_ the right amount of pizzazz ✨

[@danielevans7439]

Thank you, P2. It brightens my day every time I see how hard you go on these remixes.

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Haha you're very welcome!! It's a lot easier to produce these *bangers* when all these songs have been stuck in my head for 20 years 🤣

[@GlitchmanVGM]

The sheer quality of your remixes is so good, even when you strip down the song to just the main beat in the outro and the steel drum melodic hook, it still sounds incredible! Super tight beat and bassline, catchy melody, the works! Fantastic stuff, really. I'm running out of adjectives to describe your high quality productions! 😆

[@ProducerPlayer2]

You are _too_ kind, Glitchman!! 🙌 I do take pride in my outros, haha, and it makes them DJ-friendly for whenever somebody performs these songs to a live audience! And believe it or not, it's a lot easier to make music sound good when the root melodies are simple 😎

[@krueger4313]

YES! first banjo, now this. I love the rareware remixessssss

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Haha, Rare games had incredible OSTs 🔥

[@ShionAkasuki]

How dare you whoo me to want this to be added in playlist 🤣 My inner child approves.

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Haha I'm sorry! I can't resist the groove 🕺

[@NostalJackMusic]

Groovy. This game was such a vibe back in the day. Way to spotlight a great tune, and very masterfully remixed!

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Thank you so much NostalJack!! I agree, Diddy Kong Racing was it's own culture of racing game, still very unfortunate that this game never received a sequel!

[@irkandcrew]

OHHH MY GAAAAHHHHD bruh... you are making all the best tracks. Every thing you touch lately turns to platinum! Awesome job man

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Oooo I like that phrase...everything I touch turns to platinum 😎 it's got a good ring to it! hahaha. Thank you!!! 🔥

[@Duhemsounds]

An excellent remix, a lot of childhood memories with this game. I loved launching a lot of missiles

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Thank you sir!! Many childhood memories with this one for me as well! 🙌 especially the battle mode, haha. I loved the ability to upgrade the power-ups if you stacked the same color balloon; I always thought that was a fantastic gimmick!

[@Duhemsounds]

@@ProducerPlayer2 I was spending hours with a friend on that frozen pyramide lurking at a corner with a load of missiles ready to fire

[@ComiCross]

I’ve never played this game, but I’ve heard it’s really good, so I hope it gets on the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pass sometime. Also, nice remix!

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Same! Although highly unlikely since most IPs are owned by microsoft now…UGH! Thank you as always!! 🙌

[@zuskato]

My childhood game🙌😭

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Brings back lots of good memories!! ✨

[@Codex115]

Super eager to hear the character select screen remix

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Oh absolutely, this is in the works!! It's such a banger that I gotta make sure it's flawless!

[@Bash0987]

Ok so this many awesome remixes and not at least 100k subs?!?!?

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Ahh man thank you so much for saying that! Hopefully one day I'll have gained a following of the masses, but I'm super grateful for the 20k that have discovered me so far!! 🙌

[@DeathAngel971785]

This is hype!

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Thank you!! Definitely already amongst my top N64 remixes of all time haha

[@DeathAngel971785]

@@ProducerPlayer2 it's also one of my favorite videogame remixes, so please keep making bangers!!!!! If at all possible, could you look at the soundtrack for Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon for N64 and see if anything catches your interest for a remix? I'd actually sell my kidney for some quality remixes of the tracks from that game!

[@flooidity]

Hey it's Summer here in Australia so this works out for me. Anyways another great remix as always!

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Haha perfect! And just want to say a huge thank you for listening from Australia!!! 🙌

[@tophmidnaYT]

This goes hard

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Thank you sir! Bringing the nostalgia into banger-status 🔥

[@Italian_Rock]

another great track!!

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Thank you so much!!! I appreciate your support!! 🙌

[@helpihavebats6392]

Jammin!

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Untz untz untz 🔊🕺

[@juansebastianduque2907]

Yeah, i love it

[@ProducerPlayer2]

I appreciate your support!!! 😎

[@Eman2246]

🔥🔥🔥🔥 remake bro. Had a feeling this was coming up and thus exceeded my expectations. How the Remix of ridley's theme going?

[@ProducerPlayer2]

This remix even passed the 🔥 test with my parents hahaha 🤣 Ridley's theme is coming along; definitely a lot tougher than I remember, but it'll release 1st quarter of 2023!!

[@SuperFIFIbros]

This is awesome, but what happened to the Ancient Lake x Boss theme remix?

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Surprisingly enough, I received quite a number of comments asking to separate the two because they’re both equally great on their own - also, I’m not 100% sure both songs were in the same key signature 😅 Either way, I do feel like these are no longer chaotic with all the melodic changes, and you can hear the solo boss challenge remix on my channel as well! I released it a few weeks ago. 🙌

[@SuperFIFIbros]

@@ProducerPlayer2 I love both the new remixes. I do hope one day you decide to reupload it though, cause I personally enjoyed it a lot !

[@SomeGalNamedEve]

Wait where did Vector U go?? 😭 Edit: I just looked it up, and on their Twitter they said that their whole Google account got hacked by a fake sponsor...

[@cantstanja]

Sounds like you used some sound effects from Zool

[@ComiCross]

Bad news: VectorU’s account has been hacked. It says he’s “Tesla US”.
