5 Dirty Dubstep Remixes of Classic Video Game Themes

Step off!

I’ve always considered myself to be a rather cool cat, cooler than the water in the swimming pool so to speak. So, it was with great pleasure that I embarked on a quest to connect with today’s youth. I’ve never shied away from what’s hip and happening, and right now the majority of those crazy kids are listening to a relatively new musical genre known as ‘Dubstep’, which apparently involves a lot of ‘dropping the bass’. Naturally, here at Awesome Games we’re all about video games first and foremost, so I decided to search for a combination of the two, and boy did I find some downright dirty beats! Turn your headphones up and enjoy. Your brain is about to become wobbly jelly.

5. Poke Step (Pokemon Dubstep)

Utilising the original BGM from Pokemon Red and Blue, this delightful rendition of an old classic gives Ash Ketchum’s quest to ‘catch em’ all’ a whole new perspective. Whether your’re on the road to Viridian City, flicking through your Pokedex or battling a gym master, this modern day collaboration delivers a seismic shock right between the ears. Bass, I choose you!

4. Halo Reach Out (Halo Dubstep Remix)

Mashing up the once peaceful monastery is this space age adaptation of the classic Halo theme. The instantly recognisable wails of the monks, contrasting with the squeal of an electric guitar and thumping bass transforms the dynamics of Master Chief’s anthem. Noiser than the pillar of Autumn under siege, it’s time for Cortana to move aside, and let the bass reside.

3. Donkey Kong Country Theme Dub Remix 

Oh it’s on like Donkey Kong people! DK’s always been a fan of drum and bass, a talented and often overlooked bongo player. This remix of the classic Donkey Kong Country Theme is a fantastic combination of the old and new, loud enough to wake the sleeping lions of the jungle and the perfect audio ensemble to make Cranky Kong that little bit crankier. Go bananas to this brilliant bass infused remix.

2. Song of Storms Dubstep Remix (Zelda Dubstep)

The Song of Storms from the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is arguably one of my favourite video game songs of all time. And when I heard this superb adaptation, I quickly picked up my music box and span that handle round like never before. The heavens parted and the rain thundered down; as I danced around gleefully to this marvellous dubstep remix. Bring the bass, bring the rain…

1. Super Mario Dubstep Remix (Heavy Drop)

We all love Mario. He’s a jack of all trades and a master of everything he surveys. The portly plumber will be forever remembered as a legend, but perhaps not as the bringer of dirty bass beats. Reserved for underground pipe parties beneath the mushroom Kingdom, Mazza delivers a fireball of pure dubstep. This collection of heavy drops and spine tingling low end frequencies is more powerful than a bullet Bill to the face. Here we go!

    some of the worst music i have actually ever heard, and that includes some pretty shitty songs. I stumbled this site and am seriously thinking of not stumbling any longer or at least rethink my music likes. damn i knew the internet was a sad and lonely place, but this, not even i saw it coming.

  • OBEYG1ANT

    HORRIBLE this is why Dubstep looks bad. Learn to produce music, this isn’t even comical. my 4 year old cousin would turn this off.

    good idea, terrible outcome.

    Thanks for the post. Some of these are ok but most are pretty neat.

  • http://www.facebook.com/6StringsOfDoom Jonny Sambo

    At least this has wobbles instead of GARGLEFLOPPITYFLOP. My favorite was the Halo one. The Mario one is the worst in my opinion.

    Lost Woods by Ephix is a better Zelda dupstep mix.However most of this stuff is pretty weak

  • Ben

    How is the Song of Storms remix dubstep? There’s not a single whomp in the whole thing (no video game puns intended). It’s actually good, which further shows that it isn’t dubstep.

  • ptkins

    dubsteps fucking awful, and its even worse now that it’s in every mainstream pop track

  • Stopbeingdumb13

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NU75uz0b8EU THE best zelda dubstep song way better than the one posted and its the same DJ

  • Slick Jimmy

    you gotta listen to some better dubstep guys only the last 2 can be considered even remotely acceptable by todays standards. also anyone that says all dubstep is shit like this IS SHIT THEMSELVES THATS RIGHT I SAID IT. Ephixa is dope tho ppl shud listen to his better stuff.

    • Slick Jimmy

      HEY DONT FORGET TO ONE UP IF YOU THINK WHAT I SAID IS SOMETHING YOU WOULD SAY THANKS. I THINK WHOLE WORLD WUD BE BETTER IF EVERYONE WENT AROUND 1-UPPING EVERYONE ELSE

  • Deeznutz

    These remixes are terrible. :/ Not Dirty at all. Dirty like Martha Stewart’s coochie. ;]

  • Wyph

    I don’t really listen to dubstep often…but I usually expect a lot more from being “number 1″ the mario dub was absolute shit. I don’t know what 12 year old made that in his parents basement to look cool, but it didn’t work.

  • rhulstyn

    this is all common street trash

    this whole list is garbage… these were all just 15 yr old kids trying to add dub to a song. this is why people think this is all what dubstep is. smh…

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Matt-Loredo/1372906735 Matt Loredo

      i guess the best of the worst is the zelda one.. only because it actually has somewhat of a beat to bob the ol noggin to

  • Terrible.

    The only good one was Ephixa. All of the other ones were entirely garbage.

  • http://www.facebook.com/conner.scott1 Conner Scott

    Dubstep has gone to shit since it has become popular. this is an insult to the games.

  • dirk diggler

    all of that is fuckin shit.
    artist: SUBENDUB, song: DIAMONDS

  • Loke

    At least you could have added Doctor P’s Tetris remix… thats a well-produced track, opposite from this junk. This is so bad that my ears bled, and NOT in the good way. Horrible SHIT…

  • TigOlBitties

    dubstep = fart noises

  • wtfisthisshit

    i love how it says “classic” video games… and the 2nd one down is HALO REACH? since when is halo a classic?

    • http://www.awesomegames.co.uk Awesome Games

      Hello wtfisthisshit! Thank you for your comment. The Halo theme encompasses every Halo game including Halo: Reach. In our opinion, it is indeed a classic video game theme. You may not personally like the Halo games themselves, but the Halo theme itself is one that resonates firmly with many gamers.

  • badkids

    Lol this comment section is full of dubstep hipsters who snob any dub that isnt very specific…the funniest and most pathetic of all the hipsters xD

  • southern smoke

    http://soundcloud.com/mart815/halostep kicks the shit out of the halo remix they posted here

  • SafetypinX13

    Since i can rationalize what is good and bad despite personal preferences… Unlike some, these are pretty good for dubstep, though not great… Good though

  • Siegirstr

    Donkey Kong was alright. Upset about the Mario one. And why do people dislike dubstep so much? It’s probably just a fad, but it’s a pretty decent fad atm. I usually listen rock/oldies type stuff, hated house/trance, but dubstep actually has some really nice beats.

  • Brandon Christenson

    Maybe you should find a new hobby…

  • ScoutinForEm

    Production is fucking shit on these.

  • Scuddlywids

    is the comment section on every website everywhere the same?

  • gdsgfsh

    Horrible…who ever deemed this worthy of bring called entertainment should be thrown off a bridge.

    • Truth

      It’s a good thing the aim of art is not always to simply entertain. What a boring, ego entitled world that would be. Oh wait….

  • JD

    Really I only liked the halo and zelda mixes, but that is just me.

    • Dayleboi

      i agree, its a good idea for a post but there are way better video game inspired dubstep tracks out there

  • Ally

    Mario dubstep: SOOOO LEGIT! one of the few dunstep remixes that actually uses sounds from the game within the drop. *props*

  • PimpinPeller
  • legend of zelda > all

    the only good one is song of storms

    Song of storms is the only good one IMO

  • Shitty McCuntBalls

    dubstep fuckin blows balls all together

    • blipflop

      you obviously took the time to at least listen to one of them to make this comment, so if you truly thought dubstep sucked, you would have just went on to the next page, assuming you were stumbling.

  • TheBadFish420

    Check out Zmix if you want some good video game remixes.

    dear god those are horrible

  • Derpina

    The Ephixa “Lost Woods” Dubstep is way better than the Song of Storms one.

    • Kevin Itwaru

      this is so true, I freaking love that song. Never heard song of storms til just now though, but this is aight.

      Seriously, Mazza is some kinda crackhead, how the hell could anybody ruin the Mario theme like that.

      An atrocity worthy of castration

    dub step is awful because it has a really abrasive sound and really gimmicky presentation of electronic music. Its like someone took aphex twin and turned up the distortion and turned down the inspiration.

    Why these five songs? Except for the Ephixa Song of Storms, there are way better remixes than the shit you used.

  • Aa

    Yeah… Halo Reach is not ‘classic.’

  • Jacob_ashman

    You people are all assholes! this guy took the time to make theses the least you could do is show some respect!!!!

    • Jacob_assman

      Ok, this guy (assuming you mean the author of this article) did not make these, he just found them and said, “hey I’m going to do an article on these.”

  • Dirty?

    This is some pretty shitty dubstep

    • Gihnanf

      What do you mean “this is” – dubstep is 99% shit

      • Kaikarden

        He means that in comparison with most of the other, in your opinion, shitty dubstep, this stuff is pretty low on the ladder. Seriously, with the exception of Ephixa, this stuff is terrible when it comes to dubstep norms

        • ohwell

          I couldn’t agree more. Apart from the Ephixa one, all the others seem to just have been quickly put together for shits and giggles, and no effort have been put into the production at all.

  • Amusing

    This kind of reminded me of the time my little brother showed me a bunch of dubstep he liked, and I just pat him on the head after he didn’t know who Flux Pavillion was =D

    • weez001

      dubstep hipster?
      instead of patronizing your little brother, perhaps you should have shared some of your interests with him.

  • Natalie Topiary

    The one remix of this list that’s worth any time is the song of storms mix. You could have found better.

  • Annoyed

    I like dubstep… when it’s not made by retard who ad random noises at random times. The only good one on this list was the song of storms remix. :(

    • Danwkgn420

      thats cause Ephixa makes good shit lol go check out his other music

    • Mrcancerxx410xx

      naaawwwwwwwww the pokemon and donkey kong country one were the best..

    • itsjustarainyday

      its cuz ephixa is the only producer who made music before this i believe

  • TheFallacyEndsWithYou

    Dubstep is a genre void of other Genre’s. This is different and I don’t like it. Change…bah! <3

  • :’(

    If you want to make shitty music, fine go nuts. obviously some people like it. but stop destroying good things that were already made please

  • Silber

    Dubstep really is an awful creatively-devoid genre of music. That said, the entire LoZ album by Ephixa is a masterpiece.

  • I grew up on pokemon

    Ash Ketchum wasn’t in Red or Blue. http://9gag.com/gag/1066232 (I could’t find the original.)
    I don’t like dubstep, but if they had they Pokemon TV show theme I might be interested.

    • Ansontgr54
      • Gabogabo34

        and he delivers!

    • weez001

      actually, ash was in pokemon red.
      clearly you didn’t actually PLAY pokemon.
      when you begin the game, after oak tells you about pokemon…blah, blah
      he asks your name.
      ASH is your second option, after RED.
      source: actually playing the game.

      WHAT UP NOW?!

  • Doezulu

    Dubstep is the worst kind of awful.

    • Duh.

      Your kind of sad, you know that? If its so awful, why bother to leave the comment. Spite? Insecurity? Stop hating.

      • Xulu

        I think you’re kind of missing the point of comments in the first place.

        • Alavenix

          I think you’re missing the point of them moreso. In commenting, he may consciously be trying to make his voice heard, but is probably fulfilling some kind of social desire, in this case, maybe to cause controversy?

          • billybadass

            hes only missing the point because he said dubstep was awful, in which case he should have skipped the whole article completely, however if he likes dubstep and thinks that this dubstep mix is awful the he has a legitimate argument, and his comment should be welcomed because if you put yourself out on the internet then you shoudl be open to criticism.

        • james

          yes because you wouldnt say the exact same thing if someone went out of their way to watch a video of something you liked and then went out of their way to post a negative comment.

  • Fgbfx

    these are less remixes than they are dubstep mixes that happen to have a video game’s music at the beginning and then mixed with sounds from that game. I say this because each and everyone, while at least okay in terms of dubstep, fails to include the melody of any of the themes in the actual dubstep.

    • simba

      Right, because the Lost Woods Remix didn’t sound anything like the original. I was straining to recognize the melody in the caucophony of random sounds…? You idiot. At least be intelligent with your reply.

  • AllHailAlex

    Alex actually invented Dubstep.

  • alexisgod

    haha, alex is such a dubstep hipster. watch out everyone, he’s been listening to dubstep wayyyyy before you were even born. he’s the original dubstepper.

  • alex

    Dubstep has actually been around since like 2000. But cool find
