Hello! This channel will focus on remixes, mainly city pop and jazz fusion, for video game music. We're going as far back to SNES titles to even modern day titles to the PS5. There's no limit here! Feel free to leave a suggestion for a possible remix video, and I'll see what I can do! Enjoy your stay, feel safe and get cozy!
First spin:
Everything starts with some AI-generated samples — like rough sketches on an old notebook. Some are surprisingly catchy, others... straight to the bin. They’re just launch pads. I remix, rework, and rebuild inside Adobe Audition until the track feels like something you could dance to at sunset.
🛹 Philosophy?
Tools are tools. Real grooves need a human hand.
AI might spark an idea, but soul comes from grinding, layering, reworking, chasing that feeling until it hits.

Weekly Update!
Sorry for missing out on last week's, but there was literally no change with my situation at the time, so I didn't see much point in posting.
Good news! I finally got my sampling software working again, and there's even a new update available now, so that may help with finishing older projects I had left on the shelf.
My holiday started from last Saturday and I went traveling for a few days, but now I'm back at home and now ready to make up for some last time until I eventually get back to work next Wednesday, so I may be putting out even more albums than usual during that time!
I'm also looking for album listening testers to give me feedback on individual albums before the whole world gets to hear the finished product. I'm usually confident in games I grew up with, but I'm sometimes lost without a second opinion while working with games I'm not too familiar with, so I could definitely use some help(especially when doing this entirely solo). Anyhow, if you're interested, please contact me via Discord(the link can be found on my main page).
Take Care!
For anyone interested in downloading my albums, you can now save yourself a fair bit of money with the 'Bandcamp Friday' promotion today when purchasing my entire discography: cgtio.bandcamp.com/

Weekly update!
As seen from last week's poll, Nintendo stands out on top with a staggering 52% votership. To be honest, the majority of videos so far have been predominantly Nintendo-based games, so I don't think much will change going forward😂.
In other news, I have something pretty bad to announce. The A.I model I use to help with samples has been acting strange the past week with incredibly inconsistent and atrocious results and I'm still waiting for a reply from the support staff...until then, I'm out of gas. I have 3 complete albums left available at the moment, so I'll be releasing 1 per week(in addition to singles uploaded every day) while waiting for this issue to resolve. If it's not fixed within the next 2-3 weeks, I may have to look for an alternative to count on...When everything is sorted out, I'd like to go to a biweekly release schedule.
I hope to come with better news next week! Here's a sneak peak of what I want to work on when everything gets going again. Enjoy the rest of your week!

Time for another weekly update! I've been busy the past few days, but I'll be uploading a new album and a few tracks once this post has gone live! Not much to note in the way of updates this week, unfortunately.
I guess I'll leave you all with a question: which of the following would you like to see more on the channel? Picking one or the other doesn't mean that I won't cover anything else. It merely means the coverage percentage on the channel may increase by 20-30%. It'll help me in knowing what to prioritise going forward.

Time for another weekly update! A bit late, but better that than never! Here's what I have on my backlog. No changes for Tekken. I'm still not satisfied with how Sonic Adventure is, and the same applies for Zelda. I might be a bit more proactive, but I'm practically nearly out of credits that I use to make use of the A.I software I have, so that may not happen until my credits refresh on the 16th April.
I've had a few comments from certain viewers in regards to their dissapointment with how I've handled certain songs, and those are fair assessments. There are times where I simply can't get a song to work traditionally, so I opt to make it into a vocal song, but would it just be better if I called it a day and skipped certain songs, even when they're fan favourites? I guess we'll vote on it! I can't make an image post AND a poll post, so please upvote 'yes- skip out on songs' or 'no- add a vocal song'.
Once I've cleared out my backlog, I'll probably go back to bi-weekly releases until I build up another backlog.
I hope you all enjoy your Sunday and I'll catch you all later!

Time for another weekly update! I usually post these at night on Friday(JST), but my work schedule has changed this week to Tuesday-Saturday permanently, so I'll probably post these around the same time as now going forward.
I've seen the results from the polls and the majority of you are in favour of monthly vocal remixes of past songs on the channel! I'll be starting a monthly remix album from next month, so expect the first video to release around the last day of April.
In other news, thanks for the support on the channel! I'm truly grateful as usual for the wonderful and supportive comments. I've also gotten way more requests as of late, and to be honest, it's quite overwhelming, which is why I decided to open up a membership program where you can guarantee an album releasing(the highest member perk) or a 3-song request(medium perk). These will also refresh each month, so if you really want to hear your favourite game albums in my style, please consider it, but make sure to consult with me first on Discord to ensure that any issues won't pop up. Of course, as of now, I'm prioritising my own personal favourite games and fan favourites, so if you're really into obscure games that I probably won't know about, it's worth checking out!
I want to stay as transparent as possible with you guys, so here's what to look forward to in the coming month! In addition to what's not listed here, I HOPE to also release, DBZ:Budokai 1-3, Yu-Gi-Oh: Forbidden Memories, FF8&10, KH1, Civ5(Let's pray this even works...), TMNT:TiT, Parappa 1&2, Smash: Brawl, Skies of Arcadia, MK64, PSO1&2. Depending on my mood, I may just work on different games entirely xD.
Anyhow, I hope everyone's able to chill and relax during this weekend. Take care and see you all next time!

Time for another weekly update!
As always, thanks to everyone for the continued support! I really feel like I'm coming into my element with this line of content.
As for last week's results, it seems most people want to leave the choice to me for how long compilation albums should be. Personally 2-3 hours sounds good to me if I have enough content to work with from the get-go. I will probably release my Nintendo compilation video on Sunday night(JST). I'm also in the progress of making new albums of Nintendo games, so any of those will be added to a part 2 video down the road. As mentioned before, the next one will probably be fighting games.
In other news, I'm open to uploading one track from each album on the channel. This will probably be on a first come, first served basis. I just uploaded my remix of One-Winged Angel from Final Fantasy 7 and that was warranted due to how unique it was.
Anyhow question of the week: how open are you to hearing remix compilations of past songs on the channel with a vocal makeover? This will probably be a monthly addition to the channel. Imagine Zora's domain with a mature Japanese female voice behind it or a spunky young male voice singing to Dixie's beat? I'll be making my own lyrics in Japanese and localising it until it meshes well enough with the remixed song's melody.

Another week has come and gone since the last week, so it's time for another update!
I was very surprised with how well DKC2 is doing at the moment, so I decided, due to popular demand, to fast track the release of DKC3's city pop album in the next 2 weeks. Hopefully all goes well and it'll release without a hitch!
In other news, I've been contemplating on releasing compilation videos that are based on a certain category. For the first one, I want to put up a Nintendo City Pop playlist that will have tracks compiled from albums I've already uploaded here. The only thing is, I'm not too sure about how long this and future compilations should be, so here I am, asking everyone!

Here's a sneak peak at what's to come this month and beyond!
It's been about a week since my last post, and I just wanted to say thanks for the input. I'll be rolling out with 2-3 releases a week.
I also wanted to say thanks for the continued support. What remixes would you be interested in seeing eventually on the channel? I can't make any guarantees due to possible copyright issues or just not finding my groove with a certain game, but I'll try my best!

I just want to say thanks for all of the recent support on the channel! This is more of a side project, but I definitely enjoy remixing music with each passing day. I currently have more albums available on my main channel, but I'm not sure at which pace I should upload my remixes here. I don't want to annoy too many people with my daily uploads until I catch up with my main channel, so let's vote on it!
