@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.

They even have Torrents to download ton of stuff: https://ocremix.org/torrents Here direct link to the two major Torrent links:

• OC_ReMix_Collection 1_to_4000_[v20201028]
• OC_ReMix_Collection 4001_to_4384_(Q3_2022_update)

You can even use the music on videos in example, but have to give credit. More about that here: Frequently_Asked_Questions Can_I_use_OC_ReMixes_in_my...

I forget people don't know about OCR.

@wagesj45

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.

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

@wagesj45 So much amazing stuff came out of OCRemix. I absolutely need to look up more.

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.

OC Remix gives me hope for the internet. They’ve been around for years and didn’t succumb to enshittification.

And they still have my one and only remix I did in 2002:

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.

I've stopped using their forums years ago (no reason, just fell out of habit), but I've been following the site since through RSS and YouTube.

I'm so glad they're still kicking around. <3

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.

And I found it! It's Team Gato by Dale North and Mustin! And here's the link to it directly on Youtube.

I've casually followed them on YouTube, but haven't visited the site in ages! Used to be a daily thing. Good call reminding us!

OCR is, and has always been, an incredible source for music.

I remember OCRemix from when TotalBiscuit would promote so much of their music.

I’m usually checking out the site weekly, feature a song at the end of each of my podcast episodes AND stream it every so often from rainwave.cc.

If you are interested, did a great interview Larry Oji and DJ Pretzel last year about the history and future of OCR.
