Sega Mixer Drive... With Rexy

After 2 months, the Sonic Zone Remix Competition 2014 Robotnik Bracket reached a... futile climax. Yet, the show didn't lose steam - playing through the winner-by-default, homages to Afterburner and SnappleMan... and an IRC visit from a certain Donnie??

This week’s SMD saw an Aqua Planet downpour in the Marble Garden as the Sonic Zone Remix Competition 2014 reached the Sonic Bracket Final. Combine that with upbeat trance, a VGMix throwback and the humor you’ve come to know, and Spring has truly begun!

Happy Pi Day! Tonight’s focus was meant to be on the Sonic Zone Remix Competition 2014 Robotnik Bracket Round 3, but there were Dwelling of Duels picks from the same past duels and other such insanity. But if European accents are your thing, you’re in the right place!

First there was 16... now the Sonic Zone Remix Competition 2014 Sonic Bracket is down to just three arrangers. Those entries got played plus many others in a gradual shift to show normality... though I'd hardly call pie and bacon "normal", do you think?

How uncanny is it for the Sonic Zone Remix Competition 2014 to happen so close to Shrove Tuesday (Mardi Gras in the USA); so much that with 4 days before the date, it's the "Pancakes'" - or Robotnik Bracket's - turn for round 2. And how well-fed were we!

The Sonic Zone Remix Competition 2014 went onto Round 2 of the Sonic Bracket, composing entirely of close calls… and one or two PINGAS references, apparently. Coupled with plenty of other SEGA remixes, could this be one of the funniest SMD episodes yet?

SMD’s Sonic Zone Remix Competition 2014 coverage continued with Round 1 of the Robotnik Bracket. Displeased with trying to dance semi-naked, his crooning for Valentine’s Day used 15 artists going head-to-head… and no shortage of scrambled eggs either!

During Winter 2014, the Sonic Zone Remix Competition returned at OC Remix’s competitions area, with 32 arrangers making remixes in a knockout tournament. This week had Round 1 of the Sonic Bracket and a first glimpse of what’s to come… and then some!

SMD did a DJ set with a difference, taking to its first VS Week! In this occasion, two groups of mixes representing Good and Bad Futures came together to see which would outperform each other via public vote. Which team will reign triumphant?

SMD may have faced a regular episode tonight, but in addition to the usual musical picks, tonight also featured an open call for Bug! coverage, plus an INSANE amount of Lava Reef Zone mixes outside of the Source Roulette. The show's literally heating up!

SMD reached its 50th episode... with not much of a special plan at all. But there's still a fun 2 hours of remixes here INCLUDING the longest track played on the show yet, as part of this week's Source Roulette. One heck of an adventure, indeed!

Rexy and SEGA Mixer Drive returned in 2014 for a new season – double the fun and with new block concepts! As well as that and the new and old remixes you’ve come to know and love, this episode was the one… with tracks getting compared to TV presenters! Also New 2 Season 2 – Introduced in this season are two artist/game specific blocks, ‘Community Spotlight‘ and ‘Source Roulette‘. In this episode, these blocks focused on the works of Phonetic Hero and Sonic Triple Trouble‘s Sunset Park respectively.

SMD may be out of season, but it joined Project 24 2013 over at the Sonic Stadium, along with many other RS shows. Live listeners had a chance to win Steam coupons, or a physical copy of OC Remix's The Sound of Speed - all while listening to killer mixes!

SMD sealed Season 1 by looking back at 2013 with a smile on its face – whether it be talkbed highlights or music from artists like Aviators, Brandon Strader, Dr Manhattan, DusK, EAR and PirateCrab among others, we can agree that this year went wild!

The penultimate SMD of the 2013 season is also the longest run yet, as it goes through OverClocked Remix's new Sonic CD album Temporal Duality! Want to download this 3-disc wonder? Go grab it at http://soniccd.ocremix.org!

Who needs the XBox One when you can dig into 90s gaming with the Mega Drive? Artists like Audio Sprite, Aviators, BrainCells, FamilyJules7x, halc and Smooth McGroove were involved with the last 1-hour show of the season - SMD does what Radio Nintendon't!

Could this be the last Free-For-All of the season? Either way, tonight's SMD went soaringly great with a great variety of tunes from artists like Garpocalypse, McVaffe, MegaDriver, SuperiorX, WillRock and... Rexy herself? Something's not right here...

This week’s SMD Free-For-All ended up being among the most diverse game-wise – and even then, with artists including Danny Baranowsky, Dr. Manhattan, DusK, EAR, Scaredsim and Smooth McGroove, it could do no wrong… unless GBA speakers get in the way…?

We haven’t had a DJ set since August, and that’s where this rock centered episode went! If you weren’t air-guitarring to artists like CarboHydroM, DusK, Magellanic, M-H, Prince of Darkness and SnappleMan… you weren’t listening loud enough, weren’t you?

If SMD wasn’t scary already, this episode’s Halloween edition certainly took it to that level – spooky outcomes at different angles, including works from Beatdrop, MegaDriver, Mr Stream, RobKTA, Sir Nuts and the remaining tracks from OC Remix’s Badass 2!
