Hope you guys all had a wonderful Christmas! I sure as hell did with me.

@JH Sounds - Haha you try and make music at 3am lol. I dare you. You know i do this for the feedback, like it's legit good....

@NickC - You've heard it all before haha, why bother....

@JH Sounds - Wanted it to be pure ambient, but i guess i can't help myself ;)

@Arcana - It's what you get for using a sample :/

@JH Sounds - Santa turned his workshop into a RAVE...

@Dex - I like rich harmony lol.

@JH Sounds - Thanks for that JH Santa lol.

@Misael.K - It's funny, with my entrant, because it's so long, if you were to be absent (Even if it's 5 minutes), you would only be halfway through lol. This case is a rare exception haha...

Ok then.

TheVideoGamer - Started of with a piano sequence, and built it from there. There's only 2 chord progressions, moving back and fourth, but with lots of instrument changes. I added the drums at 3 minutes in, because it wanted you to get immersed in it, and also because it started of as ambient music. I like this one.

cotmm68030 - When's the 20 minute version coming out lol...I have to say, this is more background music, than listening music, but it works well. Well done!

Misael.K - How long you gonna keep this going for haha....

DarkShadow - It'd be funny if you started to upgrade to 16 bits, instead of 8-bit lol.

JH Sounds - Ever tried rapping lol? I actually thought the beats were fine this time, unless you purposely want me to say they're quiet so you can use an excuse to pull a pun haha. You know you could try and make an electronic song for next week, that could be something. Good job!

NickC - Hard choices this week. I really dig your retro 80's approach and FM synth choices, so i think you deserve the top spot. Amazing dude!

Arcana - I think you both succeeded and failed at your idea haha. Props for trying, but also props for doing something different as well. Good job!

DDRKirby(ISQ) - It's the DDR i always love. Lovely mixing as usual, just...awesome work!

Dex - I really dig the violin and guitar combo. Nothing out of place, and surprisingly Christmassy too. Awesome work!

InvisibleObserver - Ideas on point, however i think you should consider mixing in the drums a bit more, they are really in your face, and to me, that takes away the ambient parts, which are always beautiful. Good job!

Top 3 - NickC, Dex, DDRKirby(ISQ)

Awesome - cotmm68030, NickC, DDRKirby(ISQ), Dex

Arcana: energetic stabs fused with a creepy Christmas classic.
cotmm68030: nice bonus! this is giving me Final Fantasy vibes.
DarkShadow: pure energy, consistently loud and powerful.
DDRKirby(ISQ): can't go wrong with some good ol' DDRKirby. Tight as usual.
Dex: sounds like a Christmas adventure, I'm imagining Santa running towards his sleigh while laughing, getting ready to start Christmas.
InvisibleObserver: cool beat and sounds.
JHSounds: very wholesome and cute!
NickC: in a post-apocalyptic future where the sun no longer warms, hope still lingers in the hearts of survivors. Loved it.
TheVideoGamer: the first two minutes are pure bliss! then the party begins and you kinda lost me there. Still enjoyed this a lot.


awesum: DDRKirby(ISQ), Dex, InvisibleObserver, JH Sounds, NickC, TheVideoGamer.
good: Arcana, cotmm68030, DarkShadow.�
