You.. You get it completely. The glistening clear water graphics, the minimal but vibrant plants, the squeaky clean architecture and a bright blue sky in the back... That's what heaven is for me, early 2000's tropical videogame landscapes lol
Not even joking. I love this kind of stuff also. So the first thing that came to mind was “Damn…any place like this existing in the real world? I would go there in a heartbeat!”
@@DONKEYKONG260 ... vaporwave aims for a more cyber, 80's aesthetic. This is a more advanced 90's aesthetic with more solid graphics and lots of water. Nice try though, i guess
@@DONKEYKONG260 This stuff is also more akin to Frutiger Aero and y2k than it would with Vaporwave, just so you can be a bit more educated before babbling in comment sections! You seem to be all over the place here LOL
@@jello5508 I just saw this guy legit say something like “As a Connoisseur of all music, you make me upset at your writing.” I laughed hard. If this dude is a professional with a legitimate career, then I feel embarrassed at their behavior. People who really are experts in their fields are surely not this asshole-ish. As we can see at some of the other comments they made.
True, same here. When you don't want to people and need to forget useless things, here this comes to relax your mind and bring you back to the good ol days. Makes me want to dig in a closet and find a VMU from the Dreamcast, yees.
those are always annoying because they try to ride off of eccojams and floral shoppe, not understanding that theyre very heavily chopped and screwed looped samples beinf constantly fucked with or sometimes just left playing at the right length, never the entire song unedited
Not only is this faithful to original melodies from the Sonic games, it also masterfully interpolates the rhythms, instruments, and other sounds from '90s hip-hop, dance, and R&B, but also modern vaporwave. As a connoisseur of music from the '90s, I approve of this playlist a lot. Like... Oil Ocean Zone is so reminiscent of G-funk lowrider music that I thought it was an actual Snoop Dogg song for a second.
Yeah, very BattleCat in production; I remember first playing this level at my cousins house in Long Beach, Ca while the radio played 92.3 (a popular LA 90s hip hop station) in the background so this blend is blowing my mind. 👌🏾
Not really. This sorta music wasn't actually popular, just good for video games etc... you know what was popular in 1989-1992? Uh yeah Michael Jackson and r&b ....you can even hear the r&b influence on these video game vaporwave songs. We really did just create our own version of a nostalgic feeling that we liked better than the disgusting stale ugly sweater drug sweat smelly itchy asbestos cancer crack cocaome flourescent light hellish 80s or 90s that they were... rose colored glasses my friends
@AckzaTV Agreed there's some nostalgia in play, but they're not totally off base. Like the last half of Green Hill Zone. A good amount of this album has that warm (and rnb like you said) tonality that wasn't just present in games but in films and commercials, especially film credits Lol. Id say it's a fair statement.
These are literally the best Sonic fan tracks I've ever heard! Whoever's made all of these has really understood the old-school hip hop, funk, and other 90's music trends that would've been the inspiration for the game tracks. Huge old throwback to back in the day with the Sega Mega Drive!
Can You Feel the Sunshine is one of my favorite Sonic tracks, and this remix goes extremely hard - especially when the lead synth comes in. To anyone who is thinking of skipping over this while listening: you'll regret it.
My god, dude… The S3 MJ-“inspired” mini-boss integration into Angel Island Act 2 was the moment I knew you meant business ( 17:20 ). And the following xylo note is a serious “EyeWitness” intro throwback to us 90’s kids. Just brilliant: An absolute joy to soak in. And the background is so on point for all of it. Truly, only an artist, Sonic fan, and aficionado of 90’s culture could put all this together in one package. You have my ear, my thanks, and hopefully a wellspring of heartfelt recognition from anyone lucky enough to cross paths with this work. Sublime!
This is insane Edit: 9 days later I came back and this sh*t make me wanna cry. Aint no way you needed to go this hard! Sonic vibing to this sh*t right now I promise you!
"hey... the train, the one headed for the mystic ruins? yeah, that one, it will be departing fairly soon, so if you're going that way, be sure not to miss it... or do, whatever you want..."
No joke I just woke up from a dream I had that was literally just me standing next to a radio that was playing the spring yard zone remix and I was like “DAMN THIS SLAPS” Best dream ever
Can't tell you how beautiful Green Hill Zone is. Sounds just like the cassette tape tracks from when I was a kid. I smell the inside of the VHS player. It sounds like the credit roll on my childhood, in a way that feels happy and open-ended.
Yooo as a Sonic fan for over 30 years, this is such a nostalgic trip and It really feels like a masterpiece!! I'm glad I found this, thank you for this love letter!! If you are ever in the mood to do a sequel in the near future, we won't complain 😎
I hopped to Green Hill Zone, thinking "there's no way he can make this sound chilled and funky..." I was wrong. Gloriously wrong. This whole thing is a banger.
Really one of the best green hill covers ive ever heard. Its hard for alot of people to escape the original’s undeniable aesthetic but you really made it sound different while still being Green Hill Zone
Ah man. I have been procrastinating working on my project for hours. I accidentally ended up here after being buried in the recommendeds and reloading more than a COD player. Now I'm finally getting back to work, vibing. Much appreciation.
In the old days I scoured OCremix for Sonic remixes every week. This album makes me reminiscent of those days, great tracks Funk! Will enjoy for years to come, added to my Sonic Remix library.
You are one of those rare instances that I don't need to check out your other stuff to make sure there's consistent quality, before I click subscribe. You put goosebumps on me in the first 3s with this smooth 90's composition. This all fits for everything from studying to chilling to love-making. Thank you. The only horrible thing is each track not being a solid 4+ min.
Nominations for Wave-ification: - "The Dreamy Stage (Casinopolis)" - SA1. "Dilapidated Way (Casinopolis)" is also great. - "Message from Nightopia" - NiGHTS into Dreams. This one is better known as the NiGHTS Pinball song from Sonic Adventure, so it counts. - Any of Rouge's level-themes from SA2 would be great to see. I nominate all of them. In particular, I'd direct you to "Bright Sound (Dry Lagoon)" because it fits the energy you're going for. - "Competition Select" - Sonic 3. Another obvious candidate for G-Funk, due to the King of Pop's involvement, but I think it would work so well as smooth jazz. - "Lights, Camera, Action!" AKA "Studiopolis Zone, Act 1" - Sonic Mania. Fits right in with any of the Casinopolis tracks. - "Mirage Saloon Zone (Act 1)" (Knuckles Ver.) - Sonic Mania GFunk Remix: - "Chao Garden - Neutral" - SA2B - "Theme of Tikal" - SA. This might be _even better_ as wave, but it's such an obvious candidate to get *FUNKED* that it bears mentioning here. Can you Gfunkwave it?
The Chemical Plant remix sounds a lot like what Atjazz &Opolopo would have produced. This sound track is slamming uhhhhhhhhhh. the gfunk remix sound of oil ocean genuis. SpringYard done real smooth flavor Funk Fiction really hit hard with this one
Clicked this expecting another lo-effort lo-fi album but the draw of SANIC was too great. And WOW. You nailed it! Perfectly reinterprets the melodies that were so formative for people who were alive during the 90s! Amazing job. Changed my day for the better!
You did so well with this! I have listened to this music more times than I can remember. It was my secret weapon for helping me stay awake while finishing my Master's thesis throughout the last few months. Thank you so much!
Spring Yard Zone has always been a favourite of mine for it's groove, but this is a whole other level of funky goodness that I can really get behind. It just so smooooothhh
3 tracks in and i adore this. from period sound selection, the mix, even the intro speaker sim/blown out compression/whatever sound i fell in love with through early vaporwave. i have a fun listen ahead of me.
Everybody thank you for all the love 🙏 gotta go smooth 💎😎
UPDATE: Sonic & Chill is now out on VINYL!!! (link in description ^^)
Thank you for a masterpiece ❤
This was so nice to hear. Amazing dude!♥️
😢 It's THAT beautiful 😍 🤩
Thanks 😊
❤️ Love your work!
Is there a video with marble zone alone, and station square alone?
You.. You get it completely. The glistening clear water graphics, the minimal but vibrant plants, the squeaky clean architecture and a bright blue sky in the back... That's what heaven is for me, early 2000's tropical videogame landscapes lol

The BEST flow state soundtrack. Sonic mentality.
Yea I'm pretty sure I listen to this like 5 times a week
one of those rare recommended TH-cam videos that knows exactly what I need
True, same here. When you don't want to people and need to forget useless things, here this comes to relax your mind and bring you back to the good ol days. Makes me want to dig in a closet and find a VMU from the Dreamcast, yees.
Super relatable experience
Same here
glad I got to experience this 😊
😂
It was for me I know that 💯
Conceiving my firstborn son to this
vomit.
one day i hope to do the same🤞🏼
@@muwtant me too cool guy with wholesome Disney pfp
That unborn child is already way cooler than I'll ever be
I now listen to this on a daily basis, when I'm drawing, when I'm reading, when I'm going to sleep. You stranger, understand my soul with this.
It's too good. Polished to perfection. Every sound is in the right place.
U gave me the same idea tht wht I'm doing now ❤❤❤❤
Lol i work vibing to this almost everyday
I draw to it too
We already need a Volume 2. This is one of my go-to playlists.
Facts. Same for me.
It's about to be mine
They should take their time, worth it for hearing these epic chill beats
Sonic and Vaporwave are an amazing match. Would absolutely love to see more like this in the future!
90s af :D
Alot of music genres could go with sonic
@@faz10do The whole series gave us so much music and so much variety! :D
Same!
True Af.
Finally some vaporwave with some production value instead of just taking a song and making it 5% slower.
Pls make Volume 2!
those are always annoying because they try to ride off of eccojams and floral shoppe, not understanding that theyre very heavily chopped and screwed looped samples beinf constantly fucked with or sometimes just left playing at the right length, never the entire song unedited
Someone I knew didn't like the slowed old music vaporwave because it "sounds like whales moaning"
Not only is this faithful to original melodies from the Sonic games, it also masterfully interpolates the rhythms, instruments, and other sounds from '90s hip-hop, dance, and R&B, but also modern vaporwave. As a connoisseur of music from the '90s, I approve of this playlist a lot. Like... Oil Ocean Zone is so reminiscent of G-funk lowrider music that I thought it was an actual Snoop Dogg song for a second.
Wow, thank you very much 🙏
Funk Fiction + Gamechops you guys are amazing together. I'm a 90s kid and this is perfect. Oil ocean zone and green hill are my favorite! Thank you!
Yeah, very BattleCat in production; I remember first playing this level at my cousins house in Long Beach, Ca while the radio played 92.3 (a popular LA 90s hip hop station) in the background so this blend is blowing my mind. 👌🏾
Ima just cry rn
Pure brazilian bossa
This playlist is like having all the chaos emeralds injected into your veins
Oil Ocean is definitely west coast vibes all the way.
Facts Machine!
yeah it is
How can a track go so hard and smooth at the same time?!
@@bizzarojerry That Part! 😎😎
sounds like a Dj quik track
Background music while I'm making my game. Hope the algorithm treats this well.
background music while i'm driving on the highway
I'll be driving a bit this weekend... So this is my road trip sorted 👍
Nice!
Funny seeing you here
I did the same thing. Great mix for midnight driving. 😊
I went to another state listing to this as sleeping music
The level of comfort nostalgia endorphins that released seeing this thumbnail was insane
I can just imagine this being the pool underneath one of Tails' workshops and he just comes down here to chill in a lounger sometimes.
this is how 1989-1992 sounds
Mostly while play mario3
Not really. This sorta music wasn't actually popular, just good for video games etc... you know what was popular in 1989-1992?

Ackza 90s were awesome my dude
Finally... What I feel Sonic would listen to on a peaceful evening.
Oil ocean hood certified
no joke - that is G-Funk platinum.
Ayoooo it's my favorite on this mix. I thought I was the only one😂🧡 MY boy nasty on those keys
Hash Oil Ocean
JUST NEED ONE OF THOSE RAP VIDEO BOUNCING CARS TO SEAL THE DEAL 🚗🎶
=)
I thought somebody had booted up San Andreas!
Early 2000’s Sonic visuals are the perfect transition from the Vaporwave era to the Frutiger Aero era 💎🐬
This isn't vaporwave this is RnB😊
@@brandonleemoss he's talkin visuals -- not to mention that the OP says the style is "hi-fi vapor" in the description.
Chill zone act 2 got me in a grip! I keep replaying that song
This is why Sonic was appreciated in the 90's.
Green Hill Zone seriously goes so hard, so good ❤
Listen to the jazz piano version by Jon Batiste if you liked this one. It's also excellent and gives the whole thing a different tone
It’s sooooo chill. One of my faves on the original Sonic.
Sonics bedroom music for Amy lol
levitated out of my chair for 43 minutes straight. thank u
oil ocean remix like "aww shit, here we go again"
Straight up sounds like gangster music.
Reminds me of the GTA San Andreas Theme.
All you had to do was follow the damn oil, Sonic!

Did this just come out of nowhere? I'm so here for it.
I grew up on sonic genesis games and love this era of music and its modern revival. This is like tailor-made for me. My ears are in heaven.
spring yard zone goes off HARD
4:20 Marble Zone ❤
11:00 Comfort Zone ❤❤
This album has more 🔥 than Angel Island Act 2.
This is insane
Edit: 9 days later I came back and this sh*t make me wanna cry. Aint no way you needed to go this hard! Sonic vibing to this sh*t right now I promise you!
"hey... the train, the one headed for the mystic ruins? yeah, that one, it will be departing fairly soon, so if you're going that way, be sure not to miss it... or do, whatever you want..."
Bro I love this background. It's my entire childhood joy in an aesthetic
No joke I just woke up from a dream I had that was literally just me standing next to a radio that was playing the spring yard zone remix and I was like “DAMN THIS SLAPS”
Best dream ever
Thas a dope dream
This is the only thing I have listened to in my work shift, 8:30 hours straight!💕
this hits in the smoothest, funkiest way i wasn’t expecting and i love that
You're hot af ;)
Listening to this while coding, absolute jam, writing vectors has never felt so fun.
Can't wait for summer 2024 to blast this in the yard
Now's your chance!! Hit A to continue!
Sounds like it jumped straight outta the late 80's early 90's. Nostalgic feeling.
This is just perfect. It makes you feel like you're in the 90's. What a blast to the past!
Can't tell you how beautiful Green Hill Zone is. Sounds just like the cassette tape tracks from when I was a kid. I smell the inside of the VHS player. It sounds like the credit roll on my childhood, in a way that feels happy and open-ended.

This is what us folks who grew up playing Sonic are listening to nowadays. Damn I feel old but a classic never dies!
This drastically altered the trajectory of my day. Thank you. Like, no, for real. Thank YOU! 🎶
It makes my day to hear that! That's awesome :D and you're very welcome!
Literally just said the same thing 😂😂😂😂😂😂 this is a flawless project
that springyard zone took me right back to late 80’s early 90’s
I hopped to Green Hill Zone, thinking "there's no way he can make this sound chilled and funky..." I was wrong. Gloriously wrong. This whole thing is a banger.
I thought the same before I took a shot at it 😂 thanks so much bro 😎
Really one of the best green hill covers ive ever heard. Its hard for alot of people to escape the original’s undeniable aesthetic but you really made it sound different while still being Green Hill Zone
Angel Island Zone goes so hard it’s insane
i was actually expecting a vgm compilation when i clicked this -- the result is a million times better! holy hell this is beautifully done
I've listened to this every day for almost a week now. It deserves a lot more views you did something really good here.
Marble Zone is a masterpiece. been on loop all day.
Green Hill Zone is a total baby maker
Funk Fiction never misses god damn
Ah man. I have been procrastinating working on my project for hours. I accidentally ended up here after being buried in the recommendeds and reloading more than a COD player.
Now I'm finally getting back to work, vibing.
Much appreciation.
years later, Press Garden is still the best Mania remix I've heard on the site. this whole album SLAPS 🔥🔥🔥
Can you Feel the Sunshine is my fav. Been playing on loop for daily activities.
This is a wonderful album full of peaceful yet driving vibes. Thank you for your hard work!
Amazing album, it's so good
thank you for making this
it really speaks to me as a sonic fan
Oil Ocean sounds like g-funk. I love it.
I also like that Angel Island is closer to the act 2 version.
This is exactly how 10 year old me heard these songs… magnificent classics! ❤
THIS IS INSANE thank you for working so hard on this masterpiece album! It will be cherished
That victory chime in the first track is absolutely beautiful. Can’t stop listening
40:36 - File Select is such a masterpiece
1:16 The train headed for the Mystic ruins will be departing soon ❗️📢
In the old days I scoured OCremix for Sonic remixes every week.
This album makes me reminiscent of those days, great tracks Funk!
Will enjoy for years to come, added to my Sonic Remix library.
Oil Ocean is such a beast.
This is sooooo pleasant, the vibes and aesthetics makes my mind fly away into this pool in the vid
The Crystal Waters "She's Homeless" piano line interpolation in Angel Island Zone was really a cherry on top!
honestly if i have this music and this background while playing my games or laying down, be the best playlist ive had.
You are one of those rare instances that I don't need to check out your other stuff to make sure there's consistent quality, before I click subscribe.

Well, physically I'm this year,but mentally I'm in early /mid 90s listening all this nostalgic songs ✨
This is honestly my go-to playlist for anything I'm chill with
The Hydrocity so good I had to restart it halfway so I could listen to it harder.
Love the 17:36 incorporation of "Gypsy Woman!"
I love the video for this. It’s a nice 1990’s pc vibe that you just don’t see any more.
MARBLE ZONE OH MY GOD
my god all of these songs are immaculate
7:39 Track 4 is pure goosebumps 🌈🏝
Definitely the best version I've heard so far
Never thought I would fall in love with a playlist. Here I am. I really want to hear more
This album is everything I wanted it to be and more 🔥🔥🔥
Nominations for Wave-ification:
- "The Dreamy Stage (Casinopolis)" - SA1. "Dilapidated Way (Casinopolis)" is also great.
- "Message from Nightopia" - NiGHTS into Dreams. This one is better known as the NiGHTS Pinball song from Sonic Adventure, so it counts.
- Any of Rouge's level-themes from SA2 would be great to see. I nominate all of them. In particular, I'd direct you to "Bright Sound (Dry Lagoon)" because it fits the energy you're going for.
- "Competition Select" - Sonic 3. Another obvious candidate for G-Funk, due to the King of Pop's involvement, but I think it would work so well as smooth jazz.
- "Lights, Camera, Action!" AKA "Studiopolis Zone, Act 1" - Sonic Mania. Fits right in with any of the Casinopolis tracks.
- "Mirage Saloon Zone (Act 1)" (Knuckles Ver.) - Sonic Mania
GFunk Remix:
- "Chao Garden - Neutral" - SA2B
- "Theme of Tikal" - SA. This might be _even better_ as wave, but it's such an obvious candidate to get *FUNKED* that it bears mentioning here. Can you Gfunkwave it?
The Chemical Plant remix sounds a lot like what Atjazz &Opolopo would have produced. This sound track is slamming uhhhhhhhhhh. the gfunk remix sound of oil ocean genuis. SpringYard done real smooth flavor Funk Fiction really hit hard with this one
Clicked this expecting another lo-effort lo-fi album but the draw of SANIC was too great.
And WOW. You nailed it! Perfectly reinterprets the melodies that were so formative for people who were alive during the 90s!
Amazing job. Changed my day for the better!
19:47 that siren and bass absolute 🔥🔥
You did so well with this! I have listened to this music more times than I can remember. It was my secret weapon for helping me stay awake while finishing my Master's thesis throughout the last few months. Thank you so much!
That Station Square remix scratches an itch I didn't even know I had 🔥
This compilation made my workday x10 better!! Nostalgia + Happines 💚
Spring Yard Zone has always been a favourite of mine for it's groove, but this is a whole other level of funky goodness that I can really get behind. It just so smooooothhh
WOh!… yeh
Oil Ocean Zone sounds like a DJ Quik beat 🔥🔥🔥
it's the flexatone for me that really adds that DJ Quikness
This is better than therapy
This was soo funky & groovy a 90's blend fa'sure & G-Funk Oil Ocean!? you are amazing! 🫶🏽🔥🥹
I didn't even Know Sonic could be THIS Chill Damn I Needed this Today with such a Busy work day mounting
3 tracks in and i adore this. from period sound selection, the mix, even the intro speaker sim/blown out compression/whatever sound i fell in love with through early vaporwave. i have a fun listen ahead of me.
I used to just hang out on angel island in SA running around the master emerald
Same here bro doing that was a vibe
I bought your album. I havent heard music this good in a loong time. Worth every penny😊
10 seconds in and im already inlove with this
Dude that Green Hill Zone song was so dreamy and brought back childhood memories
WHAT in THE COMPLETE TOTAL F*CK...INCREDIBLE!!! ✨💎✨👏🏿 👏🏿 👀
This shit is mind blowing honestly lol
@@GabeCerebro it REALLY IS....🤯
Yo I’m so glad I stumbled upon this, it really helps when I draw Sonic 🔥✨
