First crack at a remix ever really. Had fun!

bridge so nice, while the first half is already cool, I love the last half!

ONE small criticism - this op1 snare... it fits, no doubt, but it sooo recognizable!
I am currently trying to get rid of the inbuilt drum samples and get my own set together - which is hard because the stock sounds are mad punchy allready and you dont want to fall short.

I feel you but I'm not too worried about it. Only true gear nerds recognize these things and the OP-1 is rare even for gear nerds. My new thing is trying to make beats for fans rather than other musicians(although I guess most fans are musicians these days a lot of the time). Most people didn't know that Grindin' and Everybody in the CLub Get Tipsy were Korg Triton Stock sounds, they just thought they were banging tunes. Can you add you own drums by loading files into the machine from your computer? I find when sampling in drums they sound kind of weak as they are still working on their recording levels in the machine and matching all the levels of different parts of the machine. I cant record loud enough without distorting. I guess maybe I should pitch the samples a bit more and layer, but I was going for sparse on this track. Funny I used to be so elitist about stock sounds though.
