Donkey Kong Country - Island Swing (Ed Ryan Remix)

I don't do remixes that often anymore since they aren't as interesting as making original music for me.
Unfortunately, to a lot of people, remixes are a lot more interesting than the original music I make.

But i really wanted to make this remix for a long time and finally it worked as i wanted it to. The hard part was syncing the two versions from Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze because the SNES version doesn't have a constant tempo. I had to cut the "third part" of the original songs as they don't fit the mood of the remix.

As always with these remixes, I don't own this song and you have to use it on your own risk.
