beat-bro:

> By Joren “Tensei” de Bruin. Remix of “Beatdown” by Curt Blakeslee and “Black” by Toby “Radiation” Fox.

> Image source: Homestuck.

> Dave takes the reins next and runs the turntables through a couple of old favorites. The song’s built around two remixes: Beatdown first, around 0:50, and then Black later on. The instrumentation’s what stands out on this song: they’re used sparingly, but holy shit, there’s so much raw power behind the horn section.

> Overall, though, my favorite moment is the pause around 2:45 that leads directly into an extended guitar solo.

> All together, it makes for the perfect backing track for a memorable Flash in the comic, which takes many of its cues directly from the song. It’s my top track for the album.
