Streets Of Rage - Round 4 "Keep The Groovin'" (Iceferno Remix)

[@Iceferno]

(Feb 2019) For the "voices ruin it" whiners: When I first posted this comment I was fairly sensitive about such feedback, but I don't take things to heart as much anymore. That said, I still think it's harsh to claim a 9min track is ruined by a 40sec Let's Play sample.

[@nonchalantstu54]

I was loving them because they are everyones reactions who plays the games. How many of us have said "Die Dammit!" right?

[@AlecIceferno]

^ This guy gets it.

[@ElexyReyah]

You give it free here yet want people to pay to listen to your full instrumental track?.. Yes I am glad you created this but either way this is originally from the Street Of Rage series, you shouldn't be making any money out of this.

[@AlecIceferno]

+Elexy Reyah You don't get it. The pay would be for the extra work. If people want to complain for another version, they can have it at a price. The download would still be free.

[@puns01]

Elexy Reyah Yeah this remix came out of thin air. there was no work involved in producing this at all. no time and effort went into making this track. Get off KZbin with your bullshit

[@craigmcvay1]

The Voices start on 4:48 skip em 5:34 go from there. boom sorted

[@HatLovingGamer]

I can't play this stage anymore without hearing those voice samples XD great remix!

[@Iceferno]

Much appreciated, man. I've got some SoR fan albums (Streets Of Wrath 1 & 2) on my Bandcamp too, if you'd like to check em out and share if you enjoy. 👍

[@HatLovingGamer]

@@Iceferno Will do! I like the other SoR remix you've done, this, the ending, and Stage 1 are my favourites I think

[@eternal3279]

I was watching a video of someone playing this game and I started singing the "Streets of Rage" song in this video... for some reason, it just fits perfectly :D

El Loco Damián El Loco Damián Ahora será Loco Damián

[@CL-Filmz]

Nooooooooo, it doesn't. It's funny though but ruined it.

[@Axel-Dreemurr]

Really don't see how people complain about the voices usually I don't like it when remixer's put voices in their tracks but this showed me that voices can enhance the track even if I think it can't get better. the voices are a nice addition and I love them. if this didn't have voices it just wouldn't be the same keep it up...and the groovin' lol

[@jvsonic2468]

People like myself love instrumentals tho I don't dislike them singing. It's just not the best singing and has background talking that messes it up even more.

[@the9-5ranter]

Man do I feel invigorated, ready to take on the world when I listen to this. The original soundtracks are amazing but this mix definitely does it justice.

[@Axel-Dreemurr]

Love it! The voice samples do nothing but make me love it even more. especially the "die dammit" haha pretty much what I say everytime I fight Mona and Lisa

[@nickgarner1790]

Awesome remix, and for the vocal thing if you don't like the vocals any musician can appreciate the fact the vocals are off tempo but match the song perfectly. Old topic but 11 years later this thing still circulates, you got talent bro

[@Iceferno]

Thanks, I appreciate the input. Sometimes I look at the pinned comment and think I should delete it, and at some stage I probably will. But I want listeners to be clear of my intentions. It wasn't to "ruin" a song, but to provide an easter egg. A bonus experience. Whether or not people are familiar with the voices is irrelevant. I hope that more people can find humour in it.

[@FENZIMANIA]

[@brianburrage6382]

DUDE YOU KILLED THIS. All the way back in 1991 and 1992 when both streets of rage and streets of rage2 came out there was always tight music. this stage 4 remake of part 1 was tight, but I like how you added stage 5' s Slow Moon, from streets of rage 2. I aways thought stage5 from part 2 was dort of like a follow up to part 1 stage 4. I'm glad that you knew that. AWESOME DUDE!!!!

[@AlecIceferno]

Yeah I think it was intentional on Yuzo's part. The first 2 games have a few connections here and there. SOR1's Round 6 is a lot like the first part of SOR2's Stage 7, you've got the returning bosses, and the final fight with Mr X. Thanks :)

[@SuperEltincho]

Thanks for sharing these issues sega genesis for those who still feel children excellent remix

[@AlecIceferno]

No problem. Thanks for your comment. Glad you enjoyed.

[@Zorlance]

Haha, awesome song Icey. Was enjoying the beats then all of a sudden hear my voice and had to pause and read the description! Very nice.

[@waynebarton1633]

This is a tune that I could get my groove on and that's how I keep The Grooving.

[@SilverboltPony91]

The voice samples surprised me and made me giggle a little. Reminded me of myself when I was younger. An amazing mix that brought back memories of when my mother and I beat the game in coop mode when I was a wee lad. It came down to just me and Mr. X, one life in reserve and I emerged victorious!

[@Axel-Dreemurr]

Good job must have been hard to pull that off XD

@@dionysosalters-cj5nr Sorry 😅. When it comes to music with me, I don't get involved with the comedic side of things often. I always focus on twists, unique sounds, beat and/or rhythm patterns that are not often used and/or applied in beauty or in great form with the twists and sounds you make or develop, etc. Stuff of that nature.

I loved that stage music. Awesome track guys.

[@andre.salvador2]

Years later and I still come back to this for nostalgia. I honestly believe that the voices themselves make the music itself so much better by adding that touch of comedy and funnyness to the table. That being said, this is one of my favorite pieces by you, along with wave 131. I hope to see you producing more content as good as this. Keep up the good work. :)

I don't think that the voices ruin it. The entire remix is nice!

Thank you!

[@javzworld3739]

I really like that you put voices and a little harmony signing. Not too many Streets of Rage songs have vocals.

[@segagenesis7708]

Taking us to a stand up comedy like atmosphere works, if that's where you take us from beginning to end. Not when you are originally taking us to a beautiful atmospheric city sky line, and then teleporting us to some stand up comedy stage for forty seconds, and then back to the sky line.

I wonder why you were not called to create SOR4 tracks. I have been years hearing remixes of the original tracks and no one surpass you. In fact I would have bought the new game if you were who make the soundtracks.

[@Iceferno]

Thanks. I was hoping they'd pick me up and I inquired about composing shortly after announcement, but they'd already decided on composers at the time. The silver lining is that I get to work on my alternative soundtrack Streets Of Wrath 4. You should check out SOW 1-3 sometime, if you haven't before. I think you'd like 'em.

[@Trid3nt861]

I hope your channel doesn't get terminated like DJyuzo's did. He didn't even use his content for profit but for enjoyment and for those to hear it and they still killed off his channel due to his "Remixes".

[@Iceferno]

mechaart I've always been a bit cautious as to what I put up (I've been suspended before). I recently had my Christina Aquilera - Your Body remix removed from Soundcloud and the Bob Marley - Is It Love one is probably next to go. It's the major artists creating problems for underground musicians who want to get known. I've even considered remixing One Direction for marketing purposes. That probably won't be possible with all the audio-scanning bullshit on here.

Are those samples of something you're using dude, cause honestly you'd have been way better off editing them out. One or two of the other tracks i've heard worked out fine with a quick sound from the actual games. If the voices in this track are you, why not just make that one a personal one to keep for yourself and upload the strictly instrumental version on here?

[@bluebull399]

This is one of my favourite tracks in the game. However about half way through there is some guy singing "on the streets of rage" into what sounds like a dictaphone, it sounds really out of time, did you leave your mic on when you was recording it by accident? Sorry to ask but it just seems really out of place as everything else was so well produced. I make music myself and am not too bad at it by my singing voice is terrible!

[@AlecIceferno]

Someone didn't read the description, or even my "ATTENTION" disclaimer. He sings out of time at points because it's a JOKE. I sampled a SoR Let's Play.

[@bluebull399]

I don't get the joke but fair enough, it's just I remember we used to sing "on the streets of rage, never be afraid" when we used to play this level and I thought maybe the song actually had some lyrics, i can't remember why we used to sing this maybe we heard it somewhere.
