Evktalo - I like the guitar and the other things in combination. The song is short, but very nice.
Thu - It takes long before the song comes alive. There isn't much in it, but I like what you did, especially at the end. You really did overuse the bass.
Just64helpin - I like the piano. There's nothing else, but the piano varies enough to keep the song interesting.

OneUp - Nice bonus mix, I appreciate it.

I didn't have the appetite to eat all of Thu's croissant, so my top vote goes to evktalo.

Thu deserves the win with the most accomplished mix of the round. I love the choice of the snare drum. Maybe that's way I don't get that severe eurodance vibes from the mix. Criticism: there are a few drum accents which are awkwrd for the flow and groove in 00:56-00:59. The last two minutes or so don't seem to be bringing enough new energy to it.

Double Cross is a sketch, but it's a good sketch! I love how every section seems so different, but fits together. All those different rhythms etc. I had trouble hearing the source, although there it is. I'd love to hear an elaborated and expanded refinement of this arrangement.

Thu's was definitely the best, so that gets first. just64helpin was really good too, but that gets second. And evktalo gets third.

Thu's is definitely the most polished in both arrangement and production, so I think it wins hands down.

Just64helpin's reminds me most of my own style. Interesting changes in pace, but boring left hand writing.

Evktalo's has this interesting lilt, that doesn't quite flow and some of the background synth string attacks are a bit slow.
