Dj Mokram Presents Secret Bonus Point

Yeah, yeah. We know that we’ve been dropping the ball lately. Blame it on delicious, tasty beer and the Ico/SOTC Collection drop (it’s great!). But that doesn’t mean we don’t care about the arrangement community! We just received word that ThaSauce alum Dj Mokram, has recently released a free album:

Dj Mokram, in association with Nitro Game Injection (http://kngi.org), is proud to announce the release of Dynamite Headdy: Secret Bonus Point.

Secret Bonus Point is a tribute album to Dynamite Headdy, a sidescroller-platforming/shooting game developed by Treasure Co. Ltd. and published by SEGA for the Genesis/Mega Drive in 1994. Featuring 26 arrangements in a variety of styles by 14 artists, SBP pays homage to the soundtrack composed by Nazo² Unit (Katsuhiko Suzuki, Norio Hanzawa, Aki Hata, Koji Yamada and Yasuko). The album is divided into 4 chapters, reenacting the story of Headdy and his friends, fighting for their beliefs against the evil Dark Demon King, in order to save the Puppet Kingdom from its oppressive ruler.

Secret Bonus Point was born as a response to this remix request. You can learn more about it and download the album for free at: http://dhsbp.kngi.org.

With a quick listen and garnered feedback, we have a sneaking suspicion that Secret Bonus Point is pretty epic. Peep the trailer above or head over here for more information on Dj Mokram’s fantastic project. Give it a try if you daaaaare.
