Unreal Tournament '99 DnB/Atmospheric Mix

- A mix of tracks from the original Unreal Tournament game featuring mostly tracks from Michiel van de Bos. I initially made this for myself, because I enjoyed a lot the mix made by juliomonk but wanted to tweak the audio a bit and also have different transitions, while adding one extra song to the playlist (Run).
After that, a project kinda appeared on my mind and decided to add some nice visuals to go with it. It was initially intended as a little thing for myself but decided to make it a proper video and share it here instead. Audio has been remixed slightly, with a small amount of reverb to make it less dry, a bit of EQ and compression to make all the tracks sound a bit punchier but more consistent through the duration of the mix.
Original idea by • Unreal Tournament '99 ...
Tracklist :
00:00 - Skyward Fire
04:50 - Botpack #9
09:42 - Foregone Destruction
13:45 - Nether Animal
18:40 - Mechanism Eight
24:52 - Run
29:17 - The Course

It's the end of December 1999/ beginning of January 2000. It's Friday, I'm 13; after doing my homework, I meet with my friends outside, and we enjoy the cold and snowy weather. At about 19:00, we're going home, but before we do, we agree to meet on our LANchat at about 20:30 to decide whether to play UT tonight. There's no light in my room, just the bright glow of the snow falling from the sky outside and the smell of my PII 300 64mb voodoo2 with CRT monitor in the air . I'm creating the game; foregone destruction is starting to play; people are joining-it's perfect.
I wish I had some memories like that! Simpler times. I didn't have internet back then so all my UT memories were from me just playing around with bots! My PC didn't handle UT so well since I didn't have a proper GPU but ah, good memories nonetheless.
Generations. December 1999 you were 13, I was 41. Even though I was a generation older I was doing the same after a work day. TigerZero was my UT game handle. I had been with a UT team for about a year. Low Grav Instagib capture the flag was what we played. My playing skill was great at that time. During 2000 the team broke up. It was time to move on. 2 years passed not playing anything like UT99. New UT had been out. I wanted to try it. Oh the physics was so different. I had lost the skill during that 2 year gap. I felt like a newbie playing it. I'm 65 now. I'll just stick with watching others play and make live chat comments.
@@tigerzero5216 Let's just cherish these memories while listening to this amazing soundtrack. I wish you all the very best!!
@@MalakaiDergplaying it offline was totally cool though.. it was rare for people to have fast enough network connections or any internet at all back then..
@@tigerzero5216 Brother among gamers. The same thing happened to me, but between Halo Reach and Halo 4. It now takes an obscene effort to approach how good I was at older games, which, as we all know, we now don't have. It's been hard to accept that.
I love that these UT99 mixes ALWAYS start with Skyward Fire. What a timeless track.
It's so chill but aslo represents so well the space vibes of this game. Might as well!
This music is timeless. Futuristic then as it is now.
Such nostalgia. Better times, careless times.
Absolutely perfect visual transitions between the stages and songs as well as the audio mixing itself. Sad to not see this type of atmospheric dnb in modern games.
Thank you! I was pretty satisfied with the results so I'm glad to see that people like it.
And right? At least it's been cool to see people once again gravitating to DnB music in general in recent years.
Quite possibly my favorite seven tracks from the game, all in one place.
Glad to hear that! I love the whole OST but many work mostly in the context of the game. These are just straight up bangers for any situation
Couldn't agree more!
It's the same for me. This is the perfect mix!
You killed this, thanks a ton for this mix! The visuals are so great and really bring me back.
In 2000-2004 I was in a clan, "Elite Zark Snipers". We played a mod that basically gave every player a rapid fire sniper rifle. My name would have been {eZs}zer0skater or {eZs}pr00f.
Leaving this here in case any of my old clan mates see this video and want to reach out.
Good luck with that! Thanks for your comment
Very nice composition of both, audio and visuals. Nostalgia level max :)
Thank you! Michiel did such a good job with the music and was fun revisiting the maps too.
I like how Phobos's theme has a lot of different vibes in a single track, yet it all still remains very cohesive
A little, chill journey
This is an banger mix. I tried to look up Unreal mixes before because I remembered they had music like this but this is one that actualized exactly what I wanted. Very well done

Thank you 🙌
House n Hard Trance mix
AMAZING
Thank you for this upload... perfection.
The beginning of this video almost makes me cry from nostalgia
Insane mix man
Deus Ex Era soundtrack was something else! Even tho i didn't play Unreal Tournament, the music is a total banger. Not to mention the atmospheric of these games! I honestly think, the issue with today's games is that they try to be as realistic as possible. Games should be an escape from reality, like books!
There is a place for both, honestly. I don't mind realistic games but we surely have got a bit too carried away doing that. These older games also just have a different feel to it because most of the people that worked on them weren't really "game developers" or something. They were just dudes that learnt how to make games and did it for fun and passion. Also, it was a new medium so they didn't have many preconceived ideas about how to do things.
@@MalakaiDerg Maybe you are right. But last year i played Deus Ex for the first time. The ORIGINAL Deus ex from 2000. And even tho the graphic is nowhere near today's standard i've enjoyed it probably like everyone who played it at the beginning of XXI century. These old games...it's not just nostalgia. They have something that majority (but not all) present games lack. Maybe it's that fun and passion you speak of.
Just to add my 2 cents, I agree with both of you!! Yes I play games that are an "escape from reality" (I couldn't get into FF16 because it was too "realistic dark" for example), and yes people were making games solely out of Passion before and it changed now that it got popularized and became a business so more people come in just to get a slice! I watched some documentaries and back in the day (Unreal/Quake/Half Life/etc) some devs literally were not making games to earn money at all (some said they took many years to finally "live from it"), they were just passionate people jumping on this new way of soulful expression, art and creativity, and those are the people I love the most. Today of course there are still such passionate people making games (the kind of niche J-RPGs that I play for example, from studios such as Gust, Nihon Falcom, FuRyu, Idea Factory/Compile Heart, etc - people who are the kind to send heartfelt messages of support to the player in their games and who pour their heart into their games and you can very much feel it while playing), but at the same time I see other games that feel "empty", soulless (the recent FF7 Rebirth being an example, I stopped playing it), I know it's a subjective appreciation but I can't help feeling it.
On a side note on this topic of "passion vs commercial", I'm having the same debate with fan works: back in the day, people were drawing fanarts and making videos solely out of Passion, to pay tribute to a game and its characters, to share their Passion with the world, and to help out other fans. Nowadays, a lot of artists are making art of characters because it "sells" and they earn a lot with their Patreon (I won't say what kind of drawings is selling the most but maybe you can guess it), and a lot of people on youtube make videos about games because they will get money from youtube. If they couldn't get money from youtube maybe they wouldn't do it. While back in the day passionate fans were editing videos and making tributes in their free time, as a "hobby", just because they wanted to spread the Passion and pay tribute. People uploading tips or guides about games are a good example, back when you couldn't get money from youtube people were just doing it to help, but today a lot are jumping in out of "lure of profit". There are still people making things selflessly these days of course but it's getting rare in comparison to all the "commercial" content. I don't mean to say I have a problem with people making commercial works and trying to make a living out of their passion of course. I just appreciate true fan works/Passion projects more and in a special way. Because I can relate to wanting to pay tribute to something I love, without associating it with money in any way. I think there's something beautiful to doing that. I know that is a very unpopular opinion to have these days, lol.
Anyway, I agree there is more to just nostalgia. I am blessed to know of a time were things were different and more people were making things solely out of Passion, and I wish that somehow that spirit could live on in the future, with the powerful things that passionate fans are feeling.
And by the way I love this video, I was listening to it on repeat last night as I did Unreal stuff, it was such a bliss! ^.^
Well done!
Very good mix!
great mix
trip down memory lane, nice mix 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it
Best ut99 tracks
Nowadays the Atmospheric music really popular. I've upload the Advanced UT99's OST into my channel ( 'The Bloe Domanation') with a similar video.
One of better mixes 😍
Wonderful.
Nice Mix mate ! Some's views remember me so many Trip !
ik hou van dit soort house / techno / D&B
lekker...
zoals het echt was in de 90s
coffeeshopmuziek :D
Mumumumonster kill!
We need an UT99 definitive edition remake with the original maps, playable characters and weapons
If only. Epic doesn't even want to acknowledge the game ever existed
tatita malakai
9:44 all the way
I never knew there was a udamage powerup on Lava Giant
Hah! Yeah well, it's honestly not that convenient because without Translocator or something you won't get out of there easily.
Good video. But i hear Adam F and Prodigy a little... :)
Wouldn't be surprising since the composers were inspired by what the listened to back then obviously. Late 90s were fun when it comes to music
Jubei sent me here, thanks fren
Ancestors ashamed furry drawing, bad fortune
Ancestors also thought that slaves were fine and that women were subhuman. I'm not too worried about what they could think.

great angled shots of the maps amongst all the other greatness
nice work
i made a machinima in Unreal called Mombootoos Revenge lol check it out
Very-very nicely done. Was only a matter of time til something like this was uploaded. But 1 criticism - textures look so bad, especially the guns n items. Next time at least download some modded upscaled textures. It kinda ruins the golden memory of this masterpiece.
I've never liked those HD texture packs honestly so it's not prefer it looking like this. It's pleasing enough visually IMO
@@MalakaiDerg the guns n items tho. I might agree about the level textures, but the weapons and items look so shit, lol
@@nBasterd Nah fair enough but I still find some charm in these low poly, low res items. It's appropriate for the time the game was released anyway.
okay boss. Hey you know that ut99 can be played now on all android phones? via emulation. @@MalakaiDerg
