Hey guys since i missed the party, i will be listening and providing some thoughts below. Because Christmas is coming up, i tend to have a lot of events on, so i cannot guarentee i will be here at every party. But if i do show up, then that's good, because then i'm here commenting on your bangers in real time. Anyways, onto the music!


DavidKirk - Nice groove here, really feeling that techno vibe. The kick drum is juicy as hell, and the progression is extremely nice. The synths in this one, are really great, it has that balance between hard hitting noisy leads, and thick bass notes. It has a trance element too. Some parts were a bit agressive, in contrast to the drums, i felt we could blend it a bit more, but aside from that, the whole thing is lovely. A straight hard hitting banger, well done!


RicardoMennegasso - Sick Q sounds, i really feel this electro vibe. Loving how futuristic it sounds, like were in a science fiction movie. Very airy, despite it's electro vibe, the funk is very strong in this one. I just love how the sounds weave in and out, it makes for a kind of soundscape. Loving the 303 sounds in this too, more acid forward than some of your other tracks. This one is just sick, i love it, well done!


UrinalPooper - Wait really? Are the lyrics actually true, or is this just something you made up? This is a really classic Urinal sound, very sick guitar tones, and great lyrics. Very catchy. I love the delivery, it feels like a straight up classic punk track, with sick guitar tones, lovely fills, and a interesting background ambience that adds to the vibe. Solo is killer too. Love this one a lot, well done!


Krirbs - This one is quite emotional sounding, has a hint of sadness going on. Loving the string embelishments, really fits with the celesta sounds. Great orchestration, it feels like i'm in an intense scene in a movie. Love the time signature change in the 2nd half. Whole thing is epic, i love it. Well done!


AthanThatGuy - That sub is massive, which i'm not surprised, since this is Athan after all. I'm in love with that beat, damn, that is one tight snare. This feels like a really interesting mix of 80's synthpop, lo-fi hip hop and a house vibe, it's really cool and interesting. The thing is quite chill, for a synth based piece. The breakdown though, really subverts the chill vibe for some straight dubstep stuff, it's massive and huge. Absolutely love this, well done!


Antik - My god, over 3 minutes!? What's happened to you? This is newsworthy lol. Loving this chill vibe man, the sample choices are amazing as always. Never in my life, a sample that sounds like it fits into hip-hop would make a 3 minute cut. Except in this case, my expectations were flipped as this is straight up techno, with a warm sample. I love the slow building nature of it, you keep adding stuff as we listen. That clap and hi-hat just sound so retro, this is such a banger man. Nothing else to say, it was just sick. Well done!


Meistr - Is that a bitcrush on the voice, that's really cool. That piano line is pretty cool, it feels like we have a stretch effect going on, yet it sounds kind of emotional in some way. That beat is fire, not what i was expecting, it gives me late 90's RnB vibes, it's sick. Amazing vocals on this one, you picked some great collaborators. Whole thing is catchy, i love it. Well done!


Vaiaphraim - Back to the 1-bit phase, this time with some very short and stabby sounds. The more bits you reduce, the more it just sounds like a techno synth lol. What i absolutely love is how insanely good you are at writing melodies, using nothing but a 1-bit instrument. If it was me, i would be relying more on techno, because it's suited for that, but you make melodic stuff just work on this synth. Absolutely catchy stuff, well done!


Eidolon Ethos - Lots of 80's synths this week, i really liking the bass notes here, and the East Asian synths presented here, it really adds a cool ethnic flair to the sound. Really into the beat, it's nicely mixed too. Loving the background sounds, and how they're woven in, it relly makes for a nice evolved soundscape, that's part chill, and part EDM. The whole track really, just has a sick vibe, that i couldn't not bop my head to. Well done!


Boomer - Already straight into the frantic kickdrum workouts. That synth is kind of guitar like, even if it's a synth, yet there's also some sick guitar tones here. This one has a lot of DnB influence, despite it being the usual Psytrance/Metal/Gabber thing. I always love how your tracks just take me on a journey. Every second there is something new, be it a melody, a guitar part, or a kickdrum machine gun fest. This is just insane, the level of music there is here, it's just so good. Love this one a lot, well done!


Relax.D - Alright last one of the main entries, bar the late LBA submission, which i've talked about in the late entries channel. This is a cool beat, it kind of has a hip-hop outline, but in a more rock style. The vocals are great, although a little bit quieter than the rest of the beat in my opinion. The drums here are absolutely sick though, i love the velocity changes on the drums. The lyrics were funny, i really dug the irony here. Whole thing was a lot of fun, i loved it. Well done!


LBApophis - Alright i'm also gonna give this late entry it's respect. 2 seconds over, but i'm not Vaia 2.0 lol. That trombone sample man, is killer. You really do know how to sample man, dare i say more than me. That kick and snare combo is really great, especially that snare, it's quite unique. Subs were a delight in my ears, and the chops were sick, you made some great melodic ideas out of these samples. So many great changes, the progression is just lovely. A top tier banger, that i cannot vote for sadly, but it was sick. Well done!
