2013 Sonic R SEASON

December 28, 2012 in Blog, Site News by Sonic Remix

Alright gang, I’m back from my holiday trip! It’s given me time to reflect and organize my thoughts long enough to come up with an effective plan for 2013 to balance out my work load and reorganize projects.

(For Sonadow Online Entertainment news, click here)

On the months that comics are NOT coming out through my other division (Sonadow Online Entertainment), I will be pouring my focusing efforts into Sonic Remix Studios projects; more specifically  shows for Sonic Radio and Sonic R TV. I have a few ideas that I can’t discuss quite yet. Keep an eye out for an important Sonic R TV announcement within the next week or two regarding the airing of Eddie Lebron’s “SONIC” fan film that Sonic Remix Studios is a producer for. =)

ATTENTION ALL SONIC REMIX MUSIC ARTISTS

September 3, 2012 in Site News by Sonic Remix

Dear remixers in the Sonic Community,

 

My name is Shayne “Sonic Remix” Thames Edwards, the owner and host of “Sonic Radio” (http://www.sonicradio.net), a Sonic the Hedgehog themed radio station featuring both music from the official Sonic games, and from music remixers like you!

 

Sonic Radio is celebrating its 14th anniversary on December 5th, and we would like to oraginze a remix album in celebration of this great achievement! We’re looking for remixers to contribute to the project, with a projected release of late November.

 

What you want to contribute is up to you, however you feel would best fit Sonic Radio. Right now, slots are open, number of contributions are unlimited, until we can guage how many people are interested in contributing to the project.

 

In addition to the open submission guidelines, I personally have a few requests/suggestions for remix themes/styles. Whether you want to or able to perform any of these themes, it doesn’t matter, it’s just suggestions I would like to see in the album. They are as follow:

 

Orchestra DnB style (Ex. “Solaris Phase 2″, “Super Sonic vs Perfect Dark Gaia”, “vs Nega Wisp Armor, Phase 2″) – some of my favorite Sonic songs were done in this style, and I would rock out every time. I would love to see something like this, particuarly with other Sonic themes, such as “Live and Learn” =D

 

Crush 40 style songs – This would be especially applied to some of the older generation of Sonic music, especially with Sonic theme songs that could be extended, such as the original theme song to “Sonic the Hedgehog”. I made a challenge of this once, and got no response. An alternative is rock-style music.

 

Vocal music – Hilarious or serious lyrics, I love it when a remixer is able to tackle a song and sing it. Either doing a vocal song, or coming  up with lyrics to a previously instrumental song, I think its awesome and would love to see some in the Sonic Radio album!

 

Sonic R music – Some of the heart and soul of Sonic Radio stemmed from Sonic R, and seeing any of the songs remixed, ESPECIALLY “Super Sonic Racing” would be a definite plus.
Please contact me as soon as possible, I would love to know who would be willing to participate in this album!

Live… on other places!?

July 20, 2012 in Site News by Shadow Remix

So the other night I… (As in just ShadowRemix here ^_^ ) decided to jump on a stream and watch a small game of Transformice (A decent little game you can enjoy with your frieds over at their site Transformice.com ).

I sat there and watching a friend of mine play this game with many other people in the stream when I noticed that for some reason a Sonic Radio bump had played. I knew I wasn’t tuning in, turned to the computer we have set up to monitor the radio remotely, and saw that the bump had indeed just played. Someone was listening to the radio and the stream was listening in too. SWEET!

Let’s just say that I decided to do a little bit of “Air Talent,” as DJ EAR calls it, by taking requests for 3 hours. Let’s just say those 3 hours were hilarious with me trying to learn how to play this small game (as in learning the wall jump thingy, which I still can’t do >.<). For a night we gave people 90% of their requests, and it felt fairly good to do so. Not only that... we had quite a few people listening in too!

That gave me an idea which I have to speak to SonicRemix about: playing the music via request for those streamers that wish it. I think it would be kind of perfect knowing that the Sonic music you would LIKE to have during your stream can be done, as it seemed to work quite well the other night.

Thanks to Sunrose12, and everyone in that stream that made the night a complete, utterly laughable success.

Sonic Radio Live tomorrow! Oh… and about Live365…

July 20, 2012 in Site News by Shadow Remix

Tomorrow morning Sonic Radio will be broadcasting (sadly since SonicRemix is a little sick… x.x) it’s show at it’s new permanant time:

8AM Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) – For all of the USA listeners on the West Coast who need a pick me up in the morning!
11AM Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) – In case everyone wants listen in on the East Coast and really need something to power through the down time in the day!
4PM British Standard Time (BST) – UK and all those who need a time basis to enjoy Sonic the Hedgehog music!

The show will be running an hour and a half, and it may or may not run over depending on what happens.

Now for the news that may irk our Live365 viewers who are coming here and wondering how come they can’t find the station anymore… it’s gone! That’s right… Live365 was just too expensive compared to what we could set up here at the studio. Let us put it to you this way we have cleaner music, don’t have to worry about those pesky ads unless we decide to put them up, and we won’t lose listeners when we switch to live shows!

Oh… and we save a chunk of money while we’re at it too! Let’s just hope we can get the request system up and running soon though, as we would LOVE for you to be able to listen to what you want to listen to while we’re off the air.

Announcing the Sonic R Challenge!

July 6, 2012 in Blog, Site News, The Sonic R Challenge by Sonic Remix

Hey remixers! We got a new event for you guys! Sonic Radio is announcing a new monthly event: The Sonic R Challenge!

The Sonic R Challenge is an event where we invite Sonic remixers to remix a Sonic song, based on what the challenge’s theme is.

Songs will be judged by us and given points based on creativity, talent, and use of instruments. Remixers can try for bonus points by remixing the song based on the “Bonus Category”, which could be a theme, genre, or use of particular instruments.

While the challenge will be ‘just for fun’, we do have plans to offer prizes in the future for winners. But for now, everyone wins, as we will be airing everyone’s entries on the Sonic R Show. We will also make entries available for download on our website.

The first challenge will be issued during the Sonic R Show’s Sonic Boom broadcast between 4-5 PM on Sonic R TV, with SPECIAL GUEST DJ EAR, so be sure to tune in!

If you have any further questions, you can e-mail me at sonicremix@sonicradio.net!
