OverClocked ReMix is a video game music community with tons of fan-made ReMixes and information on video game music.
I figured since we're currently in a reawakening to decentralized and special purpose forums and websites, now might be a good time to remind people of OCRemix. Or help someone discover it for the first time.

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’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.

@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:
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...

A decade? Isn't ocremix at least another decade older than that? I wanna say like closer to 2000 or 2001ish.
Edit: Wikipedia says December 1999

@SCmSTR Dang! You are right, if I think about it. Learned about OC Remix in early 2000s. Wow. Forgot how old I am... Literally remember how I bring mp3 files to my friends home to show off how crazy songs there are.

Lol did you do it on cd, some device, or during a lan ^.^
I still have folders on my hdds that have migrated from very old hdds that are like "xxxPersonNames music" that we used to just copy during our small lans around 2003. I gotta check now to see if I have any old ocremix files in there from around that time. I bet I do...

@SCmSTR No we never did Lan parties at home unfortunately. :-( But we played a lot of fighting games back then and the repeating songs got old. So we often just turned down the music and played something from hard drive. :-) So in a sense like LAN parties without LAN. Can we call it WLAN Party? :D
And in the past I experienced the worst thing that could have happened to anyone: Losing all personal data on HDDs! My younger self didn't know that backups was important.

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.

Same!!! I probably used it about 20 years ago and, until this post, had completely forgotten it existed. Holy crap how time flies. I can't believe it's still a thing and going strong.

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.

My old iRiver had so many great songs. I remember loving this Zombies Ate My Neighbours remix, I need to go find it again.

I almost bought an iRiver after one of my best friends at school showed me how he could play music videos on his. This was back in like 2004/2005 or so, so that was super impressive tech at the time.
