Three newcomers in a row! SpaceGhost (Deion W.) debuts with a slick, modern house & trap remix of Undertale, taking "Asgore" + "Bergentrückung" to new places:
"I just really feel like this is a great song for everyone who ever played Undertale. I wanted to make it into a track you can dance to, while still keeping the original feel.
I hope you guys enjoy and add it to your site. I been a long-time fan for over 10 years. I been making video game music for just as long and finally decided to submit something."
I love that we're old enough to have decade-long fans/visitors finally submit something, and glad Deion did - I haven't heard trap & house paired together exactly like this, but it works. The house-styled piano takes most of the melodic spotlight, and has a genre-appropriate punchiness and relatively angular timing to it, and the transitions have some EDM risers going on, so the drum sounds themselves & their sequencing reflect more of the trap influence. Liontamer steps away from the McRib to lend his approval:
"Opens up with the pump in full effect. Definitely liking the sound of this right off the bat. Small criticism, but the bass kick that came in at :34 felt both hollow and too loud; would have liked a thicker sound to give this more punch, but no big deal.
Nice instrumentation at 1:25 and 2:00; I always enjoy hearing Undertale music using sounds I've not heard in other arrangements (given how many of them are out there).
Solid sounds & textures as well as good dynamic contrast throughout to keep things fresh. I see Jivemaster's point on the melodic repetition, but like him wasn't bothered by it enough to feel this wasn't developed enough or wouldn't be a pass here. It could have been more energetic, but that's just a personal preference thing and a contrast with the energy of the source. This is a nice take on it; welcome, Deion!"
The melodic repetition gets me a little bit, to be honest, but as with Joel & Larry, it wasn't a huge issue. Rexy honed in on this particular concern with laser focus & her analysis is ever-insightful:
"What made me go back and forth, however, was the recapitulation at 2:51. For the next 70 seconds, it repeats everything from 0:17 onward, almost note for note. Thankfully, the chill section before the drop at 3:08 had a minor textural variation with the white noise sweep and more further cymbal prominence, and the groove-based variation utilized different transitions. And 3:42 onwards dropped the keyboard part while its counterpart at 1:08 kept it in play. So after combing through, I saw past the repetition and saw some subtle textural adjustments that rightfully justify the writing on display."
Roger that! I guess (?) it can be polarizing (like dubstep) to some listeners, but I'd love to hear more trap VGM takes, as I think it's a genre/sound that's fun & allows for a great deal of sonic flexibility & rhythmic creativity. This still hits me a bit more as a house mix than trap, but the flavors are there, and at the end of the day, everything's a hybrid :) Everyone, too. I dig the production and application of FX, the attention to detail, and of course the groove - looking forward to hearing more from Deion, along with Peter & Jordan - three new mixes from three new mixers, with some amazing, distinct creativity! Enjoy!

This was very nice. Great rendition of the original. Classy and good usage of the original game SFX, and overall a bop! :)
