Big thanks to Jonny Atma for playing on this video! You can check out his metal version of Act 2 here (featuring myself on saxophone!) th-cam.com/video/K5mM8qX6VSE/w-d-xo.html Also, thanks to those who suggested this song, including Seth Leon, Isaiah Hollimon, AmareSSB, Pedrovallejos86, Emeraldizer, Negative BLur, Ethan Rodriguez, SonicJeo, Phil_Smashbro, Paul Melchiore and gerrenx7!
Hey Carlos, have you ever heard the soundtracks of the Baten Kaitos series? They have some awesome pieces that could make good jazz covers. Plus, they're worth hearing just because you like video game music. I think these are some highlights that could turn jazzy. Supreme Ruler of the Nine Heavens th-cam.com/video/eK5cRPzYa2w/w-d-xo.html Chaotic Dance th-cam.com/video/QwtCal885IM/w-d-xo.html The Valedictory Elegy th-cam.com/video/_RPtzJYIRHs/w-d-xo.html Le Ali del Principio th-cam.com/video/-O0XE8w5glY/w-d-xo.html Raincloud th-cam.com/video/cO1UTkT6lf8/w-d-xo.html and my personal favorite Bellflower th-cam.com/video/4dFB8ns-r-c/w-d-xo.html Love your stuff like always! Keep it up!
Whats up my dude! :D Will you ever play something of Pokemon Emerald again? I am totally in love with those tracks you made, but i could use some more 😏 hahaha keep up the good work buddy.
And it goes both ways! I already saw the GaMetal one, but seeing two of my favorite cover artists digging so deep in eachothers realm like this is incredibly amazing. Thank you both for this rad collab!
I really don’t understand why some people would dislike a great job like this. Transforming a simple sonic background stage music that rocked our childhood to a REAL performance
I may have commented on this video earlier, but I don't care. I've listened to this song so many times and I don't know why but I love when the solos take off on the Fm-Gm-Ab-Bb progression (2nd half bari solo and Jonny's solo). It's like the car paused at a yield sign, then got on a ramp accelerating to get on the interstate. Also the sax soli around the Ab-Ab-Bb-Bb was so chill like 👌lol. Love it.
Me waking up: “Why dafuq did Carlos and Jonny both do hydrocity covers?, is this like the time Carlos did Cynthia and Jonny did Primal Dialga on the same day?” *a few minutes later* “AAAAAA MY TWO FAVORITE MUSIC TH-camRS COLLABED!”
Oh my, Insane- This is just so jAZZY. This is the greatest cover of best-water-level, Hydro: I've ever heard. Amazing work on this, I could listen to this for a year straight and not get tired of it. Imma do that.
SWEET MOTHER OF ALL THAT IS SACRED! You did a collab with Jonny Atma!?!?! Incredible! I don't even think there's anything more I could ask for. Thank you so much to both of you and just.... Wow. Not sure how to express my gratitude since a like and favorite clearly isn't enough. Keep up all the fantastic work! You're both so awesome.
You two are nuts, both versions are so good in their own rights You add to each other's style in a very neat way, empowering the whole thing. Ahhhh I really can't describe how much I love this. Bravo guys, bravo.
one thriller of a mix, this song was already a jam but you managed to make it better, you smooth criminal. i have a hard time understanding how you do this. stranger in moscow
Oh yes!!!! My boys Jonny and Carlos together playing Hydrocity, one of my favorite Sonic songs!! Thank you so much for this! This is amazing! Great job!
All my most sinister swear words are insufficient to describe how much this rocks, grooves, and swings. I'll start reading the dictionary in order to acquire a better vocabulary with which to express how much joy this music video brings me. I keep listening to it over and over, picking up new little bad-asseries each time I do, and I can't get anything done, because it demands my full attention. Thanks for doing what you do, Carlos.
Awesome as always. The classic Sonic soundtracks are a goldmine for jazz arrangements; Casino Night Zone, Chemical Plant Zone, Starlight Zone... the list goes on. Keep it up Carlos!
2 of the greatest musicians on this platform that play multiple instruments super well, 1 amazing over the top version of this song! if it is isn't the best it is among the best!
That bari solo was awesome! It's nice to see it get a more prominent feature on one of your videos. This whole song was funky and smooth and I absolutely loved it. It was well worth the wait. Now off to listen to Act 2!
Oh my daaaaaamn god, I like so much the groove in the song ! Also cool arrengement, really great job man, you're so awesome ! (Yeah I think the funk is definitely my favorite still X3)
This just sounds like sonic in the best way possible. If someone were to ask me what game this was from, and I didn't know prior to them asking, I would easily just say "sonic the hedgehog." Congratulations to the SEGA sound team for making such a sonic-y melody, and huge round of applause to Carlos for doing it justice.
CARLOS YES. You know u had me right in the beginning with that sick intro. Loved the guitar and BARI SAX solos, those were great! I do think the piano mixing was a bit off, in the really short interjections, there could have been more. And the bass end of the piano was overpowering at times. But man, that ending! Im just waiting for the day when you let every instrumemt just go insane at the end, and this was close! As YES CLOSING DRUM SOLO GREAT JOB CARLOS
Simply class. You are an incredible bundle of talent Carlos - and mad props to Jonny for his collab on this piece! Gonna listen to this many more times throughout the month of July. 8-)
Two of my favorite TH-cam artists collaborating? Sheesh, this has gotta be a dream. Jonny and Carlos? You guys rocked these covers. As much as I've heard Hydrocity, I was not ready for what you brought to the table! Hope you guys collab again sometime! :D
I can NOT listen to this casually. It DEMANDS my full attention. So good. If I could only watch 1 youtube video for the reset of my days, it might just be this.
Sonic 3's soundtrack is already smoother than butter so let's see what you ca- ohhhh man the melody just hit, I'm slidin' outta my chair. This maaaay or may not have surpassed housethegrate's "Walk on Water" cover of this piece. I'm having a hard time deciding; they're both too strong.
Sonic mania was a awesome game! This song is great. Good job! My favorite song from the game is studiopolis act 2. That would be awesome to hear that in the future!
i mean your videos our just amazing, the music is incredible but you put so much effort into the video itself. I have a smile on my face when i get a notification from you, keep it up.
This is so good and I can imagine this being a piece that would fit right at home with the rest of the music in the Sonic series! Jonny was an incredible collab partner for this and I hope the two of you can collab on more songs in the future
i watch your videos, get motivated to play sax, then give up because i realise that im not good enough to do anything as good as this. viscious cycle man
this channel is underrated, You need more recognition from all the work, effort and the talent you have in this. loved this, coconut mall and the mii channel jazz arrangement!! keep up the good work dude :D
Man, I've always had a love for this Sonic song in particular because of how awesome and funky it is. Again, an absolutely perfect rendition of it man. Keep it up. (You gonna do Hydrocity Zone Act II? That'd be awesome!)
imagine having 8 bit drummer, insaneinthe rain, johnny atma and any other videogame music channel that i may not know play all together in a big fancy concert. it would be the most grooviest day in existence!!
The closest thing to that is MAGFest! I'd highly recommend attending MAGFest in the future if you'd like to see some of your favorite video game musicians jam out together, it's a fairly common site over there :)
1. OH MY GOD THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT A TH-camR ANSWERS ME IM LOSING MY MIND 2. Soooo youre telling me that heaven exists... 3. too bad i probably cant go there. im from Argentina :( but if i get the chance to go, GO I WILL. although your name is pretty spanish so maybe... actually let me try something. Tu nombre suena muy español asique talvez si esta en argentina. si lo esta me asegurare de ir y ojala vayas tu tambien porque tocas muy bien el saxo! quedo bueno el remix!
I think I actually requested this song when you opened up requests a while back. I don’t know if you graced us with this because of me, but I’m glad you got around to this song anyway. I always get excited when you make new tracks. Good stuff!
Thanks for requesting it! The request form has gone through several changes behind-the-scenes, and I've lost a few names in the process... but thank you for requesting it, regardless! It's great to have suggestions from fans.

Whats up my dude! :D
Will you ever play something of Pokemon Emerald again? I am totally in love with those tracks you made, but i could use some more 😏 hahaha keep up the good work buddy.
Thanks for having me Carlos, these have been some of my favorite collabs (if not remixes) ever, hope we can do it again sometime! :D
Was awesome seeing you guys collaborate, always happy seeing different TH-camrs cross over!
nice ninja kirby btw
Jonny Atma wassa dude
please collab again you're both awesome
I like the part where the music starts
I hate the part where the music ends
I like the part where the music repeats for the 70th time

Me and the boys in the neighborhood be like:
It's weird coming back from the bathroom to see 2 notifications of hydrocity remixes you know...
I mean.... the bathroom has to deal with water, and if you think about it hard enough, it's a city???
KayFiOS a boat full of poop
"Highdroh City" or "Highdrawcity"? Vote for your preferred pronounciation!
Highdroh City
Highdrawcity
It's Highdrawcity. End of story, don't @ me.
highdrawcity
I've always said Highdrawcity, it didn't dawn upon me that 'Hydro City' makes a lot more sense until Sonic Mania came out cause I'm dumb.
“Infinity War is the most ambitious crossover in history.”
lmao
Insaneintherain: hold my beer
NOPE. chuck testa.
Sorry, Le Demiurge, but this is 2018...
memes are eternal.
When your favourite jazz TH-camr collabs with your favourite Rock TH-camr on one of your favourite Sonic songs...I am not worthy😭😭😭😭
The most ambitious crossover in YouTUbe history.
Ikr
Megamind: Hydrocity is mine!
Metroman: It’s pronounced Hydro City!
I KNOW RIGHT?!
LMAO 🤣🤣 how did I never connect that!!!
And it goes both ways! I already saw the GaMetal one, but seeing two of my favorite cover artists digging so deep in eachothers realm like this is incredibly amazing. Thank you both for this rad collab!
Insaneintherain and Johnny Atma doing a collab is always a great thing to get a notification for! Good stuff.
That explains a lot. I was like "wth they uploaded the same song?!"
Spotted
Glad you liked our collaboration! We will definitely do it again sometime :)
Thank goodness because your collabs are always kick-ass
SSB_Seal
Don't you have a SiIvaGunner comment to make?
I love how Jonny has all Nintendo consoles and merch in his background on a Sega song
Also, very nice Bari solo🎷💧🔥
GameGeek 15 You must not forget that Sonic Mania was launched on Nintendo Switch
Oh no haha, I actually do have a Genesis on the top shelf but it's off-screen in this vid! xD
Glad you liked the solo :^)
GameGeek 15 You mean bari nice solo ;)

this is just pure bliss, saxophone and electric guitar make a sick combo
That baritone shred though, honestly my favorite cover by far man, keep it coming
Yo, thanks Abe! Loved getting to play that solo on the bari!
Me waking up: “Why dafuq did Carlos and Jonny both do hydrocity covers?, is this like the time Carlos did Cynthia and Jonny did Primal Dialga on the same day?” *a few minutes later* “AAAAAA MY TWO FAVORITE MUSIC TH-camRS COLLABED!”
WE PLANNED IT!!!!
Oh my, Insane- This is just so jAZZY. This is the greatest cover of best-water-level, Hydro: I've ever heard. Amazing work on this, I could listen to this for a year straight and not get tired of it.
Imma do that.
SWEET MOTHER OF ALL THAT IS SACRED! You did a collab with Jonny Atma!?!?! Incredible! I don't even think there's anything more I could ask for. Thank you so much to both of you and just.... Wow.
Not sure how to express my gratitude since a like and favorite clearly isn't enough. Keep up all the fantastic work! You're both so awesome.
We're glad you liked it! :D
Thanks for taking my request!
you got it, dude! thanks for helping bring this song to my attention!
You two are nuts, both versions are so good in their own rights
You add to each other's style in a very neat way, empowering the whole thing.
Ahhhh I really can't describe how much I love this.
Bravo guys, bravo.
Thanks so much, SkySaito! Glad you were able to appreciate both of our versions!
Thanks for having me on board with both of these amazing covers guys! Always a joy to play some Sonic. You nailed it!
I thought it was going to be Casino Night Zone, but I was pleasantly surprised. Great cover!
That one's on my list!
Oh Carlos, you absolute madman, you never fail to ship out the grooviest of grooves. Please stop, my body can only jive so much.
GUYS I JUST HAD THE CLEANEST OF POOPS!! Oh, uh..nice remix Carlos and Jonny!
one thriller of a mix, this song was already a jam but you managed to make it better, you smooth criminal. i have a hard time understanding how you do this.
stranger in moscow
Thanks, MJ!
Oh yes!!!! My boys Jonny and Carlos together playing Hydrocity, one of my favorite Sonic songs!! Thank you so much for this! This is amazing! Great job!
You're welcome, we put our heads together for the sake of your enjoyment!
You’re the only youtuber that I consistently watch videos and get excited about your uploads
All my most sinister swear words are insufficient to describe how much this rocks, grooves, and swings. I'll start reading the dictionary in order to acquire a better vocabulary with which to express how much joy this music video brings me. I keep listening to it over and over, picking up new little bad-asseries each time I do, and I can't get anything done, because it demands my full attention. Thanks for doing what you do, Carlos.
Hydro-City zone act one has to be one of my favorite songs of all time and man you did this song justice.
Thanks a bunch! I really like the song as well.
Got spooked when I got both songs in my sub box right next to each other, until I realized it was a collab. Great work on both of em.
There have been a few times in my TH-cam past where I've accidentally uploaded the same song as somebody else right at the same time...
Man, I just wanna jam to this all day now. This is seriously one of my favorite renditions now. The jazz is so amazing. Makes me wanna learn some sax.
I appreciate it!
Amazing! This song fits so well with the Jazz genre! Amazing cover! I love how the crumbs and sax work together! Great job as always!
Thanks a bunch! Did you mean drums instead of crumbs...? If you didn't, this is a hilarious comment!
Awesome as always. The classic Sonic soundtracks are a goldmine for jazz arrangements; Casino Night Zone, Chemical Plant Zone, Starlight Zone... the list goes on. Keep it up Carlos!
2 of the greatest musicians on this platform that play multiple instruments super well, 1 amazing over the top version of this song! if it is isn't the best it is among the best!
That bari solo was awesome! It's nice to see it get a more prominent feature on one of your videos. This whole song was funky and smooth and I absolutely loved it. It was well worth the wait. Now off to listen to Act 2!
Hooray! I was waiting for that track ever since you replied to my suggestion.
Oh my daaaaaamn god, I like so much the groove in the song ! Also cool arrengement, really great job man, you're so awesome ! (Yeah I think the funk is definitely my favorite still X3)

Glad you liked it!
Keep this good stuff up, im loving all these jazz arrangements and COCONUT MALL IS GREAT
Incredible, thank you very much, and the collab was on point.
Adding in the bari sax has improved your videos even more! I love it :D
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS AMAZING REMIXES OF ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONIC SONGS! I love this so much, love the hip hop vibes.
Simply class. You are an incredible bundle of talent Carlos - and mad props to Jonny for his collab on this piece! Gonna listen to this many more times throughout the month of July. 8-)
Forget Infinity War, this is the ultimate crossover. My two favorite people on TH-cam collabing, this is perfect.
This is a song I keep coming back to, it's just a bop
Take an ear worm of a track and make it that extra bit perfect. I'm in heaven
That is a very nice bari solo right there. Really love what you did around 2:36 and afterwards.
jonny is so epic he soloes even in jazz. :3c
Amazing arrangement, and it's definitely the best hydro 1 remix i've seen by a long shot!
Two of my favorite TH-cam artists collaborating? Sheesh, this has gotta be a dream. Jonny and Carlos? You guys rocked these covers. As much as I've heard Hydrocity, I was not ready for what you brought to the table! Hope you guys collab again sometime! :D
As a subscriber of both you and Jonny, it makes me happy that you guys covered one of my favorite sonic songs in the whole franchise. Great work!
LOVE that chromatic walking bass line. When you go all the way down to the low C...SO DELICIOUS. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
yo, thanks! love playing the bass.
I can NOT listen to this casually. It DEMANDS my full attention. So good. If I could only watch 1 youtube video for the reset of my days, it might just be this.
Mmm, why are jazz arrangements so goooood! Nice job, really love what you do.
It's because jazz is great!
Dang, that bari solo had me going. Sweet job!
Dude! You're such a boss. I wish even half of the live jazz I've seen had arrangements as enjoyable as yours. Was def bobbin my head the whole time
I keep replaying 3:25 and I won’t ever stop!!! You are one of a kind, absolutely fantastic!!!
OMG my two favorites in the same video! Nice job!!
Sonic 3's soundtrack is already smoother than butter so let's see what you ca- ohhhh man the melody just hit, I'm slidin' outta my chair.
This maaaay or may not have surpassed housethegrate's "Walk on Water" cover of this piece. I'm having a hard time deciding; they're both too strong.
This has got to be my favorite cover!
Sonic mania was a awesome game! This song is great. Good job! My favorite song from the game is studiopolis act 2. That would be awesome to hear that in the future!
Oh heck yes, Studiopolis is fire.
Literally the best *remix* of the song. Well Done :)
Love the bari soloing so much! It sounds amazing and I will undoubtedly be listening to this on repeat for the rest of the day
I appreciate you listening to my rendition so much, haha!
That sax soli is fierce as all hell, man. Easily one of your best yet. love the bari solo too. keep up the great work dude
All of your Sonic covers are absolute bangers
That guitar took me by surprise. Another awesome composition guys.
i mean your videos our just amazing, the music is incredible but you put so much effort into the video itself. I have a smile on my face when i get a notification from you, keep it up.
Was not expecting something this good. But that's because my expectations should always be high listening to you.
This is a true way to have an A- and B-side to a remix. Great props to both of you.
Amazing... no word to show how happy I am right now.
This is so good and I can imagine this being a piece that would fit right at home with the rest of the music in the Sonic series! Jonny was an incredible collab partner for this and I hope the two of you can collab on more songs in the future
Thanks a bunch! Jonny and I will most certainly be working together in the future. We can't let the opportunity of having music THIS GOOD go to waste!
Sounds fantastic! Great work!
I'm getting more and more excited every saturday i see a song from you, keep up that great work, excited to see what the future songs will be
i watch your videos, get motivated to play sax, then give up because i realise that im not good enough to do anything as good as this. viscious cycle man
Really good to see this music getting the jazz treatment!
It’s already been 10 seconds and I love it.
Smooth as. I like it. Could get used to this as some lovely background music in my general life.
This jams so hard! Good work guys
I really loved the cut at 3:22 with sax and drums, soo goood!!
HOW HAVE I ONLY JUST NOW FOUND THIS CHANNEL?!? This blows my mind to Neptune and back!!
This arrangement and production is so good, it wouldn't sound out of place in a modern Sonic game.
Thank you for making this, it came out 3 days after my birthday! It’s my favorite song from S3&K and you gave the solo to my favorite instrument!😆
Great job as always! I think we would all love to hear a cover of Hydrocity Zone 2 also!
There is one... on Jonny's Channel! We did a double collab on this song, you can check the pinned comment :)
I get lots of Soul Bros vibes from this cover, which is a good thing. Nice job! Can’t wait for the first July cover.
AAAAAHHHHHH
YOU ARE SO FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!
The boss is you !!! OMG So nice job !! again again again !!!
My absolute favorite track you've made so far. Brilliant. Really brightened up my day :)
I could listen to this all day
I never knew how much I needed this in my life. Love it! :)
this channel is underrated, You need more recognition from all the work, effort and the talent you have in this. loved this, coconut mall and the mii channel jazz arrangement!! keep up the good work dude :D
Man, I've always had a love for this Sonic song in particular because of how awesome and funky it is. Again, an absolutely perfect rendition of it man. Keep it up. (You gonna do Hydrocity Zone Act II? That'd be awesome!)

Thank you :D
Absolutely killin' dude, loved the bari solo, and the soli after it was incredibly tight.
CARLOS! You have wonderful tone when you play that Bari solo. This collaboration was a meant to be, I can see it! Keep it coming man 👊
That bass is tight
I think I actually requested this song when you opened up requests a while back. I don’t know if you graced us with this because of me, but I’m glad you got around to this song anyway. I always get excited when you make new tracks. Good stuff!

This is such a fantastic arrange, excellent job :D
