OK, so it’s not a mashup, but this week’s musical update is a Mega Man 9/Mega Man & Bass remix in the style of The Prodigy circa 1995. This track was made for the final round of the Grand Robot Master Remix Battle which has me facing off against legendary funk/techno ReMixer GeckoYamori. Coincidentally, his remix for this round is in the style of 90s Infected Mushroom!

“Charge My Shot Up” was a fun experiment because it samples extensively from previous entries in the GRMRB contest (about 10, to be exact.) I’ve been dying to try this type of old-school sampling technique mixed with lots of pitch-shifting, chopping and processing ever since I watched Jim Pavloff’s YouTube videos on creating Prodigy songs in Ableton Live. So, while it’s a bit dirtier than my normal fare, it’s pretty unique and was a blast to create. Enjoy!
