A gamer, a big Sonic fan, a bigger Public Enemy fan, an anime lover, and a band geek, Alien.Renegade is an up-and-coming musician determined to get his name out there (once he gets his life in order, of course). Although he creates his music digitally, he can play several real instruments, such as the trombone and the drums. His musical style teems with diversity, and has created songs and remixes of various genres, from hip-hop to hardcore punk.
Alien.Renegade is currently working on a mashup EP known as "Hedgehog Committee Part 2", a collection of Beastie Boys and Sonic Mashups, due out in April.
Cody "Azookara" Collins is a musician, artist, kind of game designer (Sonic World Runner), et cetera. He sings in the band MITO, and is affiliated with groups like Freen in Green and even that Tobey McTired guy...
Chris "BlitzChris" is an Australian Pianist/Bedroom DJ. The previous head of SEGASonic:Radio, Blitz hosts a Sonic remix podcast called "Blitz & Pieces" and has performed at Summer of Sonic's 2012's 'Club Sonic'.
You know that guy who would stab you, throw you into a pit and then laugh while you're going the whole way down? That's probably Blue. Blue Wisp is a terrible comedian and a mediocre artist that somehow got two songs in this album. So if you don't like his contributions, you've got a good taste.

After 2011's glorious album unveiling, this year's Music Adventure couldn't come quickly enough. When it did, bmn jumped at the chance to sit around and watch everyone else make music.
Eventually, though, he had to do some work himself. Next year bmn will find a way to make the website build itself...
Can of Nothing is a self-proclaimed composer, currently working on a fictional game soundtrack and then some. Despite that, he and arrangement have a rough history together, so he doesn't remix often - and when he does, it's proooooobably a hit-or-miss.
He also has a problem with time-management, which explains his submissions.
Carbo does music under the name Plumegeist, mods SSMB and draws. His music isn't in this album unfortunately, only his art. We like to think it's cause he feels he's above us, and not because he's been a busy bee with his own album and projects. What a chump.
I play bass and sing in the rock band Needlemouse. I have done about 10 sonic covers within the past 4 years in which I played all the instruments. I grew up with a genesis and playing all the classic sonic games. The music in sonic games I always admired when I was younger, and since I was also born and raised on rock music, I figured I would do some renditions of some sonic tunes in my style.
cosmictruffle is a 20something Canadian guy who sits around on the computer way too much. A Sonic fan (obviously), gamer, and full-time student, among other things. cosmictruffle is also an artist, musician, and writer - jack of all trades, master of none.
Introverted and easily manipulated. Daniel has a strong sense of perfectionism that often results in him feeling his work isn't good enough. Does whatever it takes to keep the peace, often meaning he never stands up for himself. Has a strange sense of humour and strives to make others happy.
I guess this is where I start my paragraph. So... hi. I'm Dizcrybe, aka troysson81, aka thapoint09. I like lots of different music genres. My main genres of work are House and Hip-Hop, but I've dabbled in a lot of other genres like Big Beat, 2-step Garage, Drum 'n' Bass, etc. A lot of my work is sample-based, which ranges from 2 to 4-bar loops, chopping them, sampling small sections of songs or vocals or sounds to put alongside my own melodies, etc. I sample stuff in a lot of different ways. I get my inspiration from (depending on the genre) DJ Premier, Daft Punk, Fatboy Slim, Le Knight Club and, more recently, The Avalanches and The Prodigy. ...this is getting long now so I'll stop.

Always trying to help himself and others, he's out there doing what he can and giving his best at it. Don't mind him getting carried away though, he's only imagining things that could happen! Having been a Sonic fan since about 8, he decided to start off music with the Blue Blur, and here he is now.
After taking a few courses on digital music production, I thought I would try to incorpate what I had learnt into some of the tracks. On last year's album, most, if not all, of my recordings had been multitrack live performances to create a pseudo-band feel, but the tracks on this album incorporate something different. Some completely software driven music, like Chillin' at the Ruins and Scrolling... for Bridge Zone, some hybrid (part-digital, part-live) remixes, like in Flickies... for Panic Puppet and going back to my roots with Living Unplugged... for Jungle Zone.
Freen in Green is an animated band from Riverside City, Saskatchewan, with 6 members: Annachie (Drums), Aptiva (Guitar), Mint (Percussions), Mysteri (Synth), Sparky (Bass) and Zoot-9000 (Keys). Their love for SEGA related stuff runs deep, as each member (asides from Sparky) has a past with it.

I'm a guitarist and composer from Texas. I've been a Sonic fan since I was 7. The music has always been of interest to me, ever since I heard Masato Nakamura's "Chemical Plant Zone" from Sonic 2! I enjoy picking apart songs and learning how they were made.
After receiving the inspiration to produce music from 2011's album, KatamariParadox (Now known as Neko Sol) decided to join the fray! Starting with Ableton Live as the DAW of choice, she quickly moved to FL Studio and used it to produce a majority of her submissions.

The name is redhellc, and I'm one of the artists who did a cover for this album. I'm a cool and calm guy who really likes to draw and do a lot of more stuff. As you probably guessed I'm a Sonic fan, for more than 10 years now, and I've been part of The Sonic Stadium Community for almost two years, great place. I decided to work on this project because I wanted to give something to the fanbase that I like so much. I may not be the greatest of the artists since I never really tried to master my skills, but recently I've been trying to learn more stuff and participating in more projects in order to do that. Most of my ideas are still in my head but one day I'll have a way to make them a reality. Right I'm working with another project for TSS and also in another project related to videogames, unfortunately this one is more nationally based, and since I'm Portuguese most of you may not appreciate it to the max, still if you are curious there are parts of it that are in English, that project is LynceGamers.
