meister - epic track, nice sound design and drops

dark shadow - loved the bass synths

turbo - cool strings, very tense, made me think of king k rool's ship in donkey kong

nukage - loved the high cute synths paired with the growly wowly bass, awesome contrast. delicious sound design too. felt like the synths were turning inside my ears.

darkmystery - love the EP sounding synth, changing dynamics, and melodies

obscene - very cool instrumentation and tension. that lead flute is really haunting and beautiful, and cuts through the mix perfectly

arcana - very mystical vibe here mixed with late 80s deliciousness

tvg - epic production, loved the chord progression and lead after the first verse. the lyrics are fire as hell

ethansight - big donkey kong vibes (I love donkey kong). love the glissandos and bouncy vibe

@tvg: That was fire actually. Like really cool instrumental and lyrics. If you make it shorter and tighten it up, I'd totally release it. Even with the TTS lyrics. Like this is probably the best thing I've heard from you in a while.


@Meistr: Really great sound design, things hit hard, they're catchy, cool drops, quotes help set the scene and are kind of ridiculous but send the message.


@coolgreenapple: Great singing and playing, things sounded nice and natural and chill and great work with this one.

I joined so voting time!


TheVideoGamer - This track is an excersise in how bad i can get the TTS to rap lol. I already did this before with a different theme, but unlike that one where the track was dark and serious, this one has a more humourous approach to the lyrics, whilst still retaining the hip-hop bite. The beat is a break, as i wanted that 90's feel, and making a drum pattern myself just didn't feel right, and the bassline is a combination of a hollow synth and a piano. Those two really do the heavy lifting as the rest are support anchords. The orch hit makes an appearance in the verse, as a way to make it more meneacing, and the chorus part (Or hook even, whatever you call it), is made up of 3 pad/arp sounds playing a 2 chord vamp, in order to keep it from being too repetitive. The ending is shoehorned in, but when it reaches 3:20 i panic and just spam the copy and paste function in hopes i get lucky, it's just a me thing. The beat is cool, but the rap is desireable to say the least. Oh well, glad you liked it anyways!


Meistr - The spoken word parts are funny, because it's just so bad. That's what AI does to you heh. The synth work is crazy, this is some seriously good Future Bass going on. The snare is not intense, but it works for the vibe. The drop in the 2nd half is killer! It's basically Nukage level of production, it's insane. The growls are awesome, and i love how you used the bite sound to it's full effect, instead of it being cliched. The track just packs so much for 2 minutes, with so mant insane sections, and some awesome dubstep parts. Awesome work!


DarkShadow - Classic DarkShadow beat time. Every track you always seem to go hard on the bass, to the point where there is not a single bass freuqency left. I like the arps here, very weird but very dissonant in parts. I do like the rising notes in this, it makes it more ominous. Sadly the bassline is way too much for me personally, it kind of drowns out a fair bit for me. However the wonky rhythms were definately unique, i love it. Lots of potential, good job!


Turbo852 - I dig the string work, it's really dark and unsettling, almost like were in a horror movie setting. Personally i think we could do with more articulation to make it less mechanical, as it sounds very in your face for the orchestration. I initially thought there was a note being cut off, but it's actually the sound of a crocodile growling, which is very clever. The track as a whole is very nice, great melodies, it just really needs tuning to make it less mechanical, as sadly to me it sounds super stiff. Good job though!


Nukage - This is like the last track, but just as polished. The intro is a lot more airy than last time, but the vibe is more of less there. The growls in the drop are excellent, you might not like the drop as much, but i absolutely love it. The arrangement is killer too, and the fakout ending really suprised, i got a bonus round for this epic of a banger. Even if it's presets, the fact you know which to pick for an hour is seriously impressive, i love this. This is an absolute top quality Dubstep banger i love it. It was enough for the third spot, amazing work!


DarkMystery727 - This one is interesting, because the chords lend more towards a chill vibe. At least with the mallet sound, but there is a breakbeat in this. So it's sort of calm but high energy at the same time. The melodies themselves are interesting too, some parts seem baroque inspired, i really dig it. The quiet parts are perhaps too quiet, i felt there was a lot more space to be filled to make it less thin, but when it builds up, it becomes really nice, super chill but dark. Honestly there's more to like than dislike when listening to it. Well done!


Coolgreenapple - This is the classic Coolgreen rock that i really like. Although the overal vibe is more relaxed and chill, the guitar work hits super hard, that tone is absolutely sick. Your singing is awesome too, it's super soft but not to where it's distracting. Not what i think about with the theme, but man you did a great job here. Lovely lyrics and singing, and a killer guitar tone. Well done!


obScene - Your last entry was very dark, effectively horror like, and this one is also no exception. I just love the cinematic vibes, you really know how to set atmosphere with your sound. The infamous AGL guitar sound is back, you know how to use this VST well it's a great melody. I absolutely love your string articulations too, it really adds to the atmosphere. The dynamics are also great, not too quiet, or boring, it just flows together beautifully. Nothing else to say, i absolutely loved it. It was so good i placed you on the top spot, incredible work!


Arcana - Interesting take, the bell and synth sounds kind of make for something more chill, yet i's written and produced in a techno tempo, the blend is not all super common. I really like the vocals, but i did need the lyrics to follow along a bit, because they were closer to the background. The only main issue though i have, is the kickdrum is quite loud in comparison to the rest, but the overal idea of the track is really good. Some parts were a little dissonant, but were talking some parts. It's not super noticable. All in all, i sense a lot of potential here to make it into something great. Good job!


Ethansight - Ooh that is one lovely horn melody. Sort of whimsical in a way, but darker than normal. The bassline is super funky too, the whole track reminds me of Mickey Mania in design. The bass is dirty, sort of FM in a way, and the beat is really great. I love how it all builds up, it's not a buildup like Nukage's, but it drops nicely. I just can't get over the Mickey Mania vibes here. There's nothing really else to say, the track is just really well produced, the blues notes in this is the chef's touch, it's a really great vibe. It was so good i decided to place you 2nd, amazing work!
