Original Song: Hang Glider from Pilotwings Resort
Original Composer: Asuka Ito

Friends, please join me as we prepare to take flight for this week’s Weekend Remix.

Ocremix and halc have just released a new EP titled Take Flight, a seven-song tribute to the music of the Pilotwings series. The work features the efforts of mostly halc, but Benjamin Briggs and halc do team up a bit forming the duo Insert Rupee. The featured remix Depth Perception is one of the results of their collaboration.

Using the breezy Hang Glider tune from Pilotwings Resort, Insert Rupee manage to give the song a fun groove while maintaining its gliding calm.

The start-stop intro of the remix is clever, and reminds you of an old propeller plane struggling to start up. It takes a few revs as the music yanks about as if attached to some ripcord. But it’s not long before the song starts up and takes flight. If the familiar melody or hook are the wings that give this audio plane its ability to glide, then the additional energetic beats are definitely the engine that keeps the propeller spinning.

The EP is a great tribute to the soundtrack of Pilotwings, but its Depth Perception that truly serves as the exclamation point in this homage statement.

You can download the ep here.

Until next weekend…GO Party!
