User blog:3krok/DanceDanceRevolution Chill MIX PREVIEW PACK!

Howdy, guys, it's 3krok here with a special Chill MIX related announcement, that being, the first batch of songs is now available! However, this is only a pack of songs, and anything else relating to the full game which is practically right around the corner will not be included. Without further ado, let's talk about the three songs that will be playable before any other in Chill MIX!

The first song you'll see on the list is "DOOP" by Ferry Ridderhof & Peter Garnefski. DOOP is a very catchy Eurodance single that absolutely dominated European dance charts on it's initial release. Love it or hate it, it was admittedly a well made hit! There are many versions of the song, but the original version and it's radio edit were taken into consideration the most when converting it into Chill MIX. The chart is very standard and teaches you the basics of BPM changes and freezes up front.

The second song in the songlist is "SEPTEMBER" by DJ SPEEDO! It's a very fast remix of the Earth, Wind and Fire song from Dancemania Speed G, but don't let the album name intimidate you, the song stays very true to its original counterpart, and the stepchart's beat is very simple, generous and beginner-friendly, so be sure to play it first! The real difficult task is trying not to let that sweet "Ba duda" get stuck in your head!

Our last song is "Torikoriko PLEASE!!", which is the immensely loved debut single of the group AZALEA! The song's lyrics yell about the magic of love and how to capture the heart of another, backed up by poppy soundtrack. However, don't let the innocence get to your head, as it's the only song in the pack to be featured in it's highest difficulty, CHALLENGE, as opposed to the other songs which use BASIC! The song is also involved in a very efficient way to unlock hidden songs in the final game, so make sure to remember the song well when the final game comes out.

Oh... we delved so much into the actual tracks, that we almost forgot to give you guys the song pack! The download is right here, but keep in mind that you'll need to install Stepmania 5 in order to be able to actually play them! To install the songs, simply drag the folder within the ZIP into the folder within Stepmania's folder titled "Songs", then just run the game! Happy dancing!

DanceDanceRevolution Chill MIX's first version launches mid-to-late July.
