Souperion - liked the mix of everything, there are indeed African and Asian influences which form a good combination.

TheVideoGamer - Energetic start, keeping this vibe through the whole song. Enjoyed the drum & bass work a lot.

WassupThunder - Good combination of samples, the part around 2:50 is a nice variation, aso liked the ending.

TheVodouQueen - Nice use of a second source, the vocals are a nice addition. It's a funny mix.

The Video Gamer: I love this kind of Eurobeat, been a while since I've found any. Very clean and happening, the arps add a great air of openness to the whole.


Wassup Thunder: Nice varied soundscape, kinda flaunts the flexibility of the source. Enjoyed the synth bells, and that was a fun drum solo.


The Vodou Queen: Pretty good job making the vocals work with the source. Fun and spritely. Some of the synth bells sound a tad off-key at a couple points, but not too often.

Move them blocks, move em in a stack, get combos of 4 or more to drop a tetris attack!!!


TheVodouQueen, I give you my top vote as you used a very unique genre for a remix, and the vocals fit just so dang well. Great work fitting that other song into the mix, the instruments were nice and clear while giving room for the vocal range. I chuckled in delight at this, great work.


TheVideoGamer, a truely sparkly bubblegum melody. This genre also seemed to fit perfectly. Nice beats, smooth chords, it all was nice and happy. Love your subtle variations.


Souperion, great Yoshi's Story soundtrack! I mean... yeah. A fantastic yoshi vibe with the primal instrumentation. So very onpoint!

Sorry in advanced for my very truncated critiques. Haven't been feeling well in awhile, and am not good for words ATM... :/ Let's take it from the top.

1) "Panel De Party" - TheVideoGamer:


* Bassy, EDM goodness. A banger, as usual.


* I liked the real lightheartedness to this, especially the bells and synth flute. There's a lot of good change-ups and dynamism to the song as well. The fact that you kept the remix perky and active like its original is good as well. Almost expected someone to go a bit darker themed with the song...


* I think there's too many places in the song that's very soft, meanwhile the bass takes up most of the volume. It's all EQ'd and evened out so the bass doesn't overwhelm the other instrumentation, but I hoped some of the insturments would get a bit louder, or as loud as the bells do for certain sections of your composition (e.g. 2:52 - 3:39). I think the flute being either a bit louder in volume or the same note being higher on the scale would've made that section pop a lot more, before the drop into the softer piano chords.



2) "Spritely Geometry" - Wassup Thunder:


* I like the feel of the song, the instruments and twangy synth guitar used, and the drumwork; however, I wasn't a huge fan of the improv work with the note change of the melody to minor (from the sounds of it). The bit from 1:12 to 1:36. It was cool, but sounded too off-the-mark / out-of-key by comparison to the rest of the song.


* The drum solo worked and was fantastic to hear. :) A nice addition to the song.


* The slowed down part from 3:00 onwards was the best part to me. Extremely pretty.

BONUS ~ "Blooms Before Time" - Souperion:


* Nice tribal motif; really does remind me of Yoshi's Island. :)


* Your taiko / bongo drums could do with being a little bit louder. They were slightly stomped on by the equally fairly soft woodwinds and strings.


* Very chill melody. I really like it. Great rhythm. Great vibe. Great variation throughout. In your wheelhouse. Nice work. :D
