SEGA Mixer Drive

What a nostalgic night it had been! Along with the 2 hours of varying Sega arranges - including one track someone learnt in just 2 days (!) - there was plenty of discussion about gaming conventions past, present and future. Memory lane just got wider!

NEW ALBUM! This episode saw the first full playthrough of Sound of the Sonic Stadium '15: Tropical Paradise. Just like with their previus album, Rexy was joined by DJ EAR on the air and aided the listeners through this new musical chapter!

As the 60th Eurovision Song Contest Final was due to get underway, SMD marked the occasion by having a pre-show Eurovision party of its own: all of the artists tonight hailed from the pool of 40 European countries (and Australia!) taking part. Magnifique!

This week's regular edition of SMD saw a strong setlist on a colorful talk backdrop. With Sonic Boom soon to air in the UK, this show also threw around dream Sega TV shows, self-picks for the occasion and the usual (Looney?) delivery you know and love!

Our host was unable to do a Friday show this week, but the Saturday broadcast was well timed - all for the Sega Saturn's 20th Anniversary. That meant lots of coverage for Sega's 32-bit machine - as well as Dj Mokram's first new release in nearly 2 years!

The first show of May was a lovely regular edition, bizarrely also having a great amount of self-picks that had mostly went unheard til now. The IRC discussion also leaned its way to free comics, a demand for ice cream... and Conan the Barbarian? Eh?

The end of the month meant another Mystery Mix. This week's flavor took the audience on a time machine via remixes inspired by popular music of the past. From old fashioned swing to new jack swing - if the style is older than 15 years, it's golden!

Sonic was definitely free to return out in the field for this week's regular edition of SMD, this set including one of the danciest Remix Highlights to date. This also is the episode that went down as 'the one with the kamehameha' for some reason!

It's Sonic Free Week! As the title implies, the spotlight-seeking blue blur gets pushed aside for one week only and other Sega franchises take the center stage. There's so many franchises represented this week you'd all be screaming "DONDAKE"!

It's Good Friday, the Easter Bunny is almost ready, and yet the remixes on this week's regular-sized SMD are still sweet and sugary! This was also the episode where Rexy became Lady Error-Prone during the course of the show - we're only human, right?

The second Mystery Mix of the season brought in a first for the show - a DJ set by someone within the community! This SMD dance party became all the more groovetastic thanks to RoBKTA, whose 30-minute set was a wild addition to an already funky night!

Would you believe it? There's been 5 years of RadioSEGA live shows now? This is crazy! For this special episode, our host goes through RS shows past and present and picks defining remixes that marked many incredible memories over the past 5 years!

Here he comes, redder than the rest of them, the best of them, tougher than leather. Knuckles got the spotlight this Friday in a charity episode raising money for Comic Relief! You'll be surprised how far he's come as a character-and-a-half!

The only regular week of March is also a unique one - Rexy was joined by Audio Sprite and asked questions about his newly released Charity Remix Album II, raising funds to combat childrens' cancer. Hence, 2 hours of remixes INCLUDING some of AS's own...?

People asked for this, and now it happened - the return of the Genre based weeks in Season 1, now known as the 'Mystery Mix' - 2 hours of remixes done in a certain genre. Tonight, it's peers with guitars - get ready to air shred!

This edition of SMD saw the Newsdrive segment returning after a month's absence, a debate on what to expect from a remix... and THAT ONE NEW TRACK that hit our host in the feels. Yes, even a regular show would result in an element of surprise!

With one day before Valentine's Day, SMD set the mood to counter an equally-bitter-feeling Friday the 13th with lots of warm, romantic and occasionally cute remixes to take people through the night. Oh, and there's some hot news about Bayonetta too...!

Out of the chaos of preparing for the London Anime Con that weekend, Rexy was on hand to offer 2 hours of Sega arrange tunes that stemmed convention hype, a source guessing game of sorts and... rolling on Summer? Isn't it too soon for that yet?

Are you sitting comfortably? Then let's begin... assuming there's not a little kid in sight, that is. This extra edition of SMD featured tracks that wouldn't get played during the main show for one reason alone - adult-centric content. Lock the doors now!

100 episodes, but a lifetime of memories - this week's show focused on some of the most defining moments of the series, music that marked its strongest points... and a karaoke version of a certain Sonic Paradox fan favorite... in any case, let's party!

As MAGFest weekend happened, Rexy remained on hand to look after those staying behind. In addition to a fun music selection, this show also introduced the 'ChartStoppers' RS Top 40 tie-in segment - 3 of the many arrange tunes that hit this week's chart!

This week, Rexy was joined by GameChops founder Dj CUTMAN for a show based on said record label. There were previews played from their Sonic album Spindash, plus a discussion on the site's origins, the album creation and roster... and bLiNd's Blue Balls?!

DID YOU GUYS MISS ME?! Welcome to Season 3 of SEGA Mixer Drive - your weekly dosage of Sega remixes / arrange tunes / covers / etc. This week saw the new 'NewsDrive' segment rolled out, plenty of catchup... and THE GREAT DANCE-O-THON OF '15. Let's boogie!

You didn't think it'd be gone after the Season Finale, did you? SEGA Mixer Drive had a special broadcast during WinterFest 2014 - not only was it 2 hours of remixes with a more festive flavor, but prizes were given away on the night! Merry Christmas!

Another year gone - the Season 2 Finale, true to its name, looked back at many talkbed highlights and events throughout the year, as well as an ensemble of memorable new releases - some of these even picked by the audience! But where has the year gone?!
