Vector U

My Rendition of one of the catchiest tunes ever :D

Super Mario World Overworld/Athletic Theme (Vector U Remix)

My rendition of the Dark World theme from The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past! Hope you all enjoy it.

Zelda: Dark World (Vector U Remix)

I know I know… it’s not a SNES remix? I’ve been playing Odyssey and man is it good (with great tunes to boot!), so I figured I would do a remix on the side of my favorite tune from the game. The original features a jazz blues vibe, and I wanted to put my Drum and Bass twist on it. I honestly wasn’t expecting this kind of a song on a level like the Wooded Kingdom, and I wanted to keep that sense of freshness when you hear this in the level. Hope you guys enjoy this little diddle <3

Don’t worry, more SNES remixes to come! I’m thinking FF6 next :D

Super Mario Odyssey: Steam Gardens (Vector U Remix)

Electro Swing is so much FUN!

I know forest maze is a little overdone, but I still had a blast making this one :D The original song is simple yet effective in giving a sense of wonder to the player. There were a lot of great songs to choose from, but I think this one just had to reign number 1 for me. A highly under rated RPG, play it if you haven't!


Enjoy this jazzy remix of one of the best final fantasy games ever :P (lol jk)

Super Mario RPG: Forest Maze (Vector U Remix)

So... I was working on another project and I accidentally made a Lost Woods remix? I know it looks like I'm just jumping on the bandwagon of Lost Woods remixes but it was unintentional I swear ! It started off as just trying it out for fun but it turned out to be kinda catchy so I had to finish it xD

I wanted to catch the fun spirit of Lost Woods, but make it extra s t y l i s h :D Hope you like it!

Zelda: Lost Woods (Vector U Remix)

SHORRRRRRRRRYUUUKEN :D

This feels like a nice stopping point to the SNES album. Street fighter music always gets me pumped up, and Ryu's theme is no exception. I wanted this remix to be as pumpy and hype as possible, so I hope you feel the same. I tried to keep each song in the album a different style, and it's interesting to see where I've come since I took so long xD Enjoy this bonus track on the album that I hope to get online at some point!

TBH I prefer him in Smash more than in street fighter but no one has to know that.

Also sorry, I'm not gonna make this one free to download. It's a bonus track after all!

Street Fighter II: Ryu's Theme (Vector U Remix)

Get your nostalgia goggles on, cuz this funky happy song will blast you all the way back to 2003! This is still one of my favorite Mario Karts to date, because it was so unique and fun with friends :D

I wanted to keep the racing level vibe and the overall structure rather simple. I focused on mixing, sound quality and maximizing b u m p. The melody speaks for itself, so I didn't really want to change it too much here. 

Hope you enjoy this funky fresh goodness!

Mario Kart Double Dash: Rainbow Road (Vector U Remix)

This is one of my first times collaborating with others to make an album, and it was with none other than Qumu and Noteblock! Make sure to check out their channels for their amazing Link's Reawakening pieces:

Qumu's "Sword Search"!

Noteblock's "Ballad of the Wind Fish"!
https://youtu.be/VghCxS460Z0

"Tal Tal Heights" is my addition to the album, and it was just so much fun to remix. I remember going to the mountain range as a kid just to hear this melody! I thought it would be nice to speed things up a bit with a DnB/Ska type groove. I also managed to accidentally drop the bass pretty hard in the middle lol. This is also my first loopable piece, make sure to put this one on repeat to try it out ;D

Thanks for listening! Keep your eyes peeled for the album when that comes out :D

Zelda - Link's Awakening: Tal Tal Heights (Vector U Remix)

Needs more Super Luigi Sunshine, amirite?

Yup, once again this one has taken me quite some time... I was in the midst of a move and starting my new job, so I'm sorry for the wait! 

This one just screamed electro swing to me, so I tried to spice it up with some chopped samples and my very own drum solo :D (Yes I play drums). I also wanted some fresh 8-bit elements and in-game samples cuz it wouldn't be a Vector U remix without those! I loved making this one, and I think it'll be a nice upbeat entry to the Gamecube album. 

Thanks for watching! I think Metroid Prime is gonna be next~

Super Mario Sunshine: Delfino Plaza (Vector U Remix)

Imagine waking up on a tropical island…

There it is, that’s the song haha. I went with that premise and thought “let’s make Mabe Village into a Tropical house piece!”. This all just ended up working pretty well right off the bat so it came out rather quickly. This will be my second entry in the Link's Awakening album. Be sure to check out Qumu and Noteblock's second entries as well! 

The Original album cover/background was created by Noteblock! What a boss :D

Thanks for listening! Keep your eyes peeled for the album when that comes out :D

Zelda - Link's Awakening: Mabe Village (Vector U Remix)

The "U" is a little more subtle this time around but it's there...

Hey i'm back! Ever wonder what Hyrule would sound like with some hot trap beats? This remix is definitely one of my spicier ones and I'm sure you'll agree :3 I really focused a lot of energy into the build ups and the drops, and I think it paid off! I also tried to keep some of the instrumentation from the original song (like the brass and the clarinet) but mix it with synths to get some cool layering. Do you think Epona would dig this one?

Zelda - Twilight Princess: Hyrule Field (Vector U Remix)

I know I held on to this one for a while, but I think it'l be worth it! Luigi's Mansion 3 looks dope as well. It's short and sweet, straight to the funk. Just think of Luigi's mansion but all the ghosts are having a dance party instead! I focused a lot on mixing and mastering on this one, hopefully it panned out :D Do you think Gooigi would like this?

Luigi's Mansion Theme (Vector U Remix)

What a fun song to mix! It might be pretty obvious that I was torn between two ideas for this one, so I kinda just mashed them together into one xD
At first I was going for a synthwave sort of feel, but then I kept speeding it up until it felt energetic enough compared to the original. I think it turned out kinda cool, and I made sure that K.K's voice shines nicely in this one :)

Animal Crossing: Go K.K. Rider! (Vector U Remix)

Wind Waker is probably the most nostalgic Zelda game for me. I have fond memories of sailing the seas, collecting treasure, fighting moblins, and of course, listening to the great music! This is another game that my dad played a lot too, he even made a map of the sea :D This is my favorite song from the game, and it just so happens that it might be one of my favorite remixes I've made so far. 

The original song can be counted in a 6/8 time signature or in 4/4. I really wanted to play with that since I'm a drummer and stuff so there's a few time changes in this one. As always, I tried to preserve the great original melody, but I added a few twists here in there! I think my music gets better when there's more nostalgia in the mix ;D

Zelda - The Wind Waker: Dragon Roost Island (Vector U Remix)

Paper Mario TTYD is one of my favorite games of all time, and as I was remixing it I kept wanting to play it again! (So I did lol) Such nostalgia and papery graphics deserves a LoFi remix in my mind, so I went with that. I think it turned out better than expected actually. The melody of Rogueport really lent itself to being chill, and then dark/evil. I tried to put a lot of detail and atmosphere into this one, so I definitely recommend using headphones or good speakers to hear all the good stuff :D

Paper Mario TTYD: Rogueport (Vector U Remix)

WOOOOO we're starting off the N64 album with a BANG fam :D

The lady picked this song since it's her favorite childhood game, and I think it was a great choice. When I was picking a genre for Koopa's Road, I wanted something energetic but also epic/evil sounding.  This is my first Complextro song, (a wubby sub-genre of Electro House) and I really like how it turned out! I tried to sort of tell a story with the in game sound effects, starting with the evil foreboding Bowser laugh and ending with the triumphant defeat. The intrinsic nature of complextro lent itself to the choppy syncopation of the lead and chords. In short, feelsgoodman.

Super Mario 64: Koopa's Road (Vector U Remix)

Let's get those Summer vibes rollin everybody! This is my first official collab remix, and it's with none other than NoteBlock! He was great to work with, and I think we came up with some hot tropical house beats for you all. Since we use different DAWs, it was an interesting process passing the project back and forth. I think it ended up being the best of both worlds. With NoteBlock's impeccable improvisational skills and my sicc beats, we're a force to be reckoned with ;D

Mario Kart 64: Koopa Troopa Beach (Vector U and Noteblock Remix)

I'm SO hyped about this one folks! Initially I started out thinking I was gonna made a drum and bass tune, but it kinda ended up sounding like Brainpower lmao! To be honest, I'm loving this remix more than I thought I would, the original tune is just so catchy :D I wanted a brass drum and bass feel mixed with power dance music, and I hope this one really makes you FEEL like batman.

Zelda - Majora's Mask: Milk Bar (Vector U Remix)

Hey I'm back! The move took a bit more out of me than I expected, but I am revvin up for more remixing :D This one was actually a commission from Sculpted Nostalgia (Check out their cool video game themed sculptures on YouTube!) , and what good timing it was since 3D All Stars just came out! Pianta Village was kinda difficult since it doesn't really have a chorus and the song is in 3/4. I tried to capitalize on it's happy sounding melodies and improvised on them for a drop. This is definitely a slept on song, as I don't really see many remixes for it. Hope you enjoy my rendition!

Super Mario Sunshine: Pianta Village (Vector U Remix)

Just in time for Halloweenie. It's your favorite cackling witch, Gruntilda! I wanted to have a spoopy electro swing remix for this one, and that meant ditching the triplet feel which was kind of challenging at times. The piano and pizzacato strings are the primary focus with some bouncy electronic goodness. I'll be honest, I've been really busy as of late, so I'm kinda glad this one turned out as good as it did!
