I made this for the Summer of Sega playlist from ‪@GameGrooves‬!!! I was originally gonna do Chemical Plant Zone, but I wanted something even more retro and perhaps even underrated to remix! This one came together really quickly, like 3 days of straight grinding. I really love how well the vocals work with this one, and it just feels like a clean dancy mix overall. Enjoy the rest of the Summer of Sega, and stay tuned for more dank remixes!

[@ProducerPlayer2]

[@h808gaming]

the real song of the summer is here. thank you mr u, u have saved us once again

[@GlitchmanVGM]

Awesome remix! The mixing and instrumentation is so clean and punchy! Love that rhythmic switch-up towards the end too! 🎶

[@Equalyze]

Wow, man, this is fantastic! It has such a fun, atmospheric, and immersive feel. I can't help but get lost in the soundscape, and it feels euphoric, honestly. The instrumentation, percussive elements, and loads of ear candy sprinkled throughout are just incredible. That lead is so bright and spacious, and I love how rich and detailed it is, with the portamento and vibrato effects, among others. I think one of the many things that really sets your music apart is how you use instruments that have dynamic properties - nothing ever sounds flat or repetitive, even if the same instrument is being used for an extended period of time. And every instrument really has a dedicated role in the song, too, so it feels like no sound is ever used simply to fill up the space. In short, your music really pops! As others have mentioned, the inclusion of those vocal phrases is such a cool and creative touch, and it fits perfectly in a song I never expected to hear vocals in! And massive props for the processing on those vocals, and making them really come alive and fit into the instrumentation. They really feel integral to the song, and listening to it several times, I really can't imagine the remix without them now! As always, your percussive elements are next level. Really! Each rhythm is rich with supplementary percussion and subtle one-shots that just make for some sick beats. For example, in the breakdown segment at 1:52, there are little details here and there, like the open hat sweeps, those tambourine shakes (never heard tambourine used like that, by the way, but it's awesome), and the extra stuff used in the fills. It's clear that a lot of work goes into your drums and percussion, and they're always S-level aspects in your remixes. Huge props for the wild arrangement here! The aforementioned breakdown section is my favorite part of this remix, as it really gives room for experimentation, and I love how you've used the B Section with a variant rhythm throughout as a recurring phrase - super creative! And there are subtle motifs here and there, like that peripheral detail at 1:36 where it plays those iconic first 4 notes - I love that! The song has create cohesion, but offers a variety of sound styles and energy levels, and while it's a great anytime listen, I think H808 put it perfectly - you keep one-upping yourself with new songs of the summer! 😎 Great work with the visuals, too, and I like how spinning rings are flying at the screen amidst a backdrop of some seriously stellar artwork. The thematic coloring with the VU logo is a great touch, as well! Once again, _amazing_ work here Vector! 🌟

Sega can't stop putting Green Hill Zone in stuff, when Sonic 1's REAL gem (specifically emerald 😉) was Starlight Zone. 💜 Thank you, Vector! 😊
