I post raw tracks, loops, and other such sundry goodness from my songs, and you remix them and send them to me.

The only rules are:

  • The raw tracks are licensed Creative Commons Attribution, meaning that whatever you do with the tracks, you must credit me with the source material.
  • Otherwise you can do whatever you want with the tracks. Commercial releases are fine and dandy.

I do ask that if you use these tracks to do something cool, you send an mp3 (or a link to one) to me (fluffy[at]beesbuzz[dot]biz) and let me post it on the site. I hope to aggregate peoples' mixes next to the original sources.

The preparation is a little bit different on this one, as they are split out based on the basis of a theoretical classic synthesizer's oscillator setup instead of on a per-instrument basis.

There is also a zip of high-quality WAV files (76.9 MB).

Tempo: 175 BPM
