I have been fan of game music arrangement/remixes for quite a while, since around the early 2000s, and back then (and still now) one of the best was virt. A lot of you may know or have at least heard of OCRemix, as they're still active putting out remixes and albums today, but right in the same timeframe that site started was VGMix, a site virt co-founded. I generally found more that I was interested in from VGMix, and the later Dwelling of Duels (a monthly remix voting competition that RULES): dwellingofduels.net/index.php virt is no stranger to Castlevania: This is one of my favorite arrangements of his. The sense of humor is immediately evident. My other favorite, non-Castlevania, being Blood of Ganon: Quite good. If you like these, do check out the sites I've mentioned, there's so much more. To come to know and appreciate these communities will help you to go enthused about his involvement, and the great way that real fans of games are becoming involved in the works they love. Anyway, virt has worked on a lot of commercial projects since all of this as a freelance composer, being on recently for the hit we all know as Shovel Knight. That may be the most visible title for him, but he's actually had a LOT of gigs in the business. You can just check out the Wikipedia page. If you've found that you like virt's still of music and these sites, other favorite remixer/freelance composers for me would be Sixto Sounds, M-H, Ailsean, Ashane, WillRock, a bunch of others, and on the Japanese front, SSH.

I'm thinking I/we may post strong 'vania remixes or songs along those lines here, just miscellaneous stuff that doesn't need it's own topic but definitely deserves a post. One such remix: Fans of Dracula's Curse, please enjoy that. I think we can celebrate virt's involvement by sharing remixes from his community like this

Virt is a great musician. Actually a shame he's only doing two songs for this game.

Virt is a great musician. Actually a shame he's only doing two songs for this game. After reading the update very carefully, I'm pretty sure Jake Kaufman is joining the team as a full-time musician with contribution equal to Michiru Yamane and Ippo- Yamada. The bonus songs are just that, a bonus.

The bonus songs are just that, a bonus. I agree with this. The update says: Just because Virt is doing 8 bit bonus tracks, it doesn't say he is limited to them.

Quite possibly. Him and this community I've spoken of are certainly no strangers to forums.
Another classic remix, coincidentally a comprehensive Castlevania 1 medley by goat:
As you might notice from the playlist, he also did the entire Castlevania 3 soundtrack in his album Unchosen Paths. Everything here is pretty good.

I sure hope we're reading that right in that Jake is doing more than 8-bit remixes for the prequel game. The dude has chops that rival Bruce Lee's.

Ah... so glad to see another Dwelling of Duels... dweller (sorry) here! To me the most beautiful thing about video game music is the remix scene. virt, Snappleman, goat, Ashane, Prince of Darkness, ansgaros... so many talented people there! Thank you for the Unchosen Paths album, I wasn't aware of it! *runs back to Prosecutor Office to listen to it*
Have some more Snappleman and Ashane goodness!
Also, if anyone has yet not listened to this, then please do:

These are some great covers / medleys, thanks. For the ones interested, there are a few others medleys that were brought to attention on one of my earlier (and probably my only) post. Castlevania Medleys
Cheers, Burpomatic
