Normally i would reply to comments, but in this case i ended with a conundrum. Me being me, i forgot to check the time, so when i had completed my track, i couldn't do anything else to it, i had to send it out. I literally had 1 minute to upload, not even joking. Because i panicked i uploaded the wrong file, due to me rushing. As a result all of my hours work, wasn't even to be listened to lol. So that's when i went to the discord manually and said my problem, but because they were in the middle of the party, i couldn't do anything until the end. I had to skip my track, and upload it to discord. Sure it turned out great, but you still had the wrong file on ThaSauce, so i had to personally request a file remove, in order to get the right one in. Luckily it's been solved, it's a wakeup call to tell me to be more on time! So i'm glad it worked out in the end. Since i can't really reply to comments, i'll just listen to the entries as normal instead. Definately the last time i will be doing this, it's not a frequent thing.

TheVideoGamer - The track is built on a fundamental idea, of making an extremely beautiful ambient landscape, that sounds spacious and wide, while also providing a pounding gabber kick-drum to emphasize the city nature of the image. New York is not something you can leisurely stroll into. Cars, Traffic, Busy Areas. New York can be a bit stressful, and this kickdrum kind of exemplifies that lol. Also i find the images weirdly soothing, the colours are super pretty. There isn't anything else in terms of percussion, it's just a kick, and a closed hat, doing nothing but pound through. It's not intended to be anything detailed, it's just a fun contrast of something insanely distorted, but yet so calm and serene. I mean i'm glad i managed to submit on time, but i need to be much quicker. I don't know what it was, i guess my own image selection came to haunt me lol. Oh well, glad you guys liked it!

Lyra_183 - Lol i love this idea, very funny. Up and Up and Up and Up. I'm glad you can sing that high, because to me, that would kill me lol. Very cool, good job!

DarkShadow - Nice crash cymbal opening, this is very technooooo. Not surprising since this is DarkShadow. Honestly this is one of your more groovy works, and i love it. The balance between melodic ideas and dirty basslines was lovely. One of your strongest ones for sure. Well done!

cotmm68030 - Who knew AI sound sources, can make very deep atmosphere. Another vocal entry, loving the drum work in this, and the mix especially. The vocals blend super well, not loud or too quiet. There have been cases where the vocals have been a bit masked (And this track gets close to that). Honestly the backing track is very cool, i love the ambient elements. I can sense a bit of drum lag at parts, i don't know if that's intentional, but it doesn't happen all the time, and i can tune it out. Long story short, this was lovely, well done!

Koekepan - Vangelis vibes now. Very pretty synth arps, very fitting to the busy city. Loving the live electric piano melodies, it's a very simple flowing, but effective piece. Great developments in the melodies too! It's quite a minimalistic tune, but i do know this is your strong suit. Long story short, this was super nice, well done!

Souperion - Very spacious chords, lots of cool fifth usage. Loving the reverb on the piano, it's super nice. String work is strong as always. Interesting flute/synth combo, it's sort of trying to be both, it's great. The whole thing has a bit of a trance feeling. The main lead synth is a little bit too loud for me personally, but the whole thing is very well produced, great idea. Thought about this for a long while, and as much as i want to put you in the awesome section, the synth lead was a bit too loud for me personally. Good job though!

Wassup Thunder - Wassup's Lo-Fi makes a return woo. Lovely peaceful, yet simple melodies, and nice soft beats. Loving the developments, and that pad is an amazing touch. Very fitting to the theme, and very beautiful. Well done! Wait hang....damm i forgot there was a second half!!!! Brooo, that was unexpected, man it was a Jumpscare almost. The Eurobeat vibes were soo good, but ruined the flow dam. I was super into the Lo-Fi parts, and then you goo all euro on me. Oh and then you go back into the lo-fi as if nothing happens. Dam dude, i was gonna put you in the awesome category, and then you pull a fast one like that, sorry. Good job though!

Barley - Oops you left your metronome on lol. The guitar effects are amazing, such a cool idea. It's such a great start to a track, the trap vibes actually work more than they should. It's a bit underdeveloped for me, the vocals need to be centre stage, and of course the metronome is accidentally on. Good job though!

Dex - Oooh choir. Great rock vibes, you always make such sick rock tunes. Great integration of the choir, makes it more scary. You say you collaborated with mum, but i don't heat it (Unless she plays an instrument, or sung the choir). Maybe i'm missing something, but nonetheless sick tune, had a lot of fun listening to it. Well done!

DDRKirby(ISQ) - So you've composed the OST, the jingles, and now your doing the trailer lol. No wonder it's only a minute, i'm thinking DDR never goes that short lol. I mean i don't know how to judge this, because it's nor OHC material, nor was it meant to be a physical piece of music. It's more of a promo thing. So good job i guess, even if it was fun.

NickC - Futuristic chords, loving the intense distorted hip-hop beat. Sweet basslines. The whole thing is very moody and lo-fi, but still intense with all the drum work. Honestly loved this from start to finish, great use of pad sounds, very much a driving piece. Well done!

JH Sounds - Of course you mentioned something about a brass. Really fitting, adds a unique element to your track. Big fan of the backing vox, it's almost formant shifted, with a delay. It's lovely. Great lyrics as always, you sing so well. Well done!

Suzumebachi - That oldskool funky brass, with a somewhat hint of FM, damm this is funky. Loving the 7th chord magic! Oh and that disco beat, the guitar....omg this is soo beautiful, i know you make beautiful tracks, you are very talented, but this takes the cake. WHY IS THIS SOOO GOOD, I LOVE THE CHORD CHANGES, AND THE FUNKY BEAT. IT'S TOO SHORT FOR THE AWESOMENESS. All i can say is, incredible work!

Arcana - Wow this is a driving EDM track from Arcana. Very much structured like a build-up and a drop. Great ambience, loving the effects on your vocals, soo good. The time it takes to get to the beat-drop is soooo long, the middle part should be shorted for me personally (Especially since it's only 2 minutes). Big fan on the mix in this one, is very driving like EDM. The vocals in the last part, seem to be a bit too detuned, however i don't know if this is intentional. Honestly it's one step away from being in the awesome category, it's just the drop needs to come sooner, and the vocals not so heavily detuned in the last part. Good job though!

Misael.K - These are some really cool chords coming from Misael.K. Half Jazzy, Half ambient. Loving the drums, very 80's inspired, and the guitar melody is really good, like it's just the best part about the whole thing. A huge fan of this, the melodies were just....awesome work!

Nukage - Alright bring on the Dubs n Wubs. Already a big fan of the growly electro basses here, and the long drawn out drones. DAAMM I THOUGHT IT WAS DNB BUT THIS IS SUCH AMAZING TRAP. Man this is very funky. Like seriously, i love this, the head bopping vibes of the EDM trap were just too good. Incredible work!
