DarkShadow: Strangely melodic, I like it actually. Strange scale as usual, but I liked that melodic lead melodic part, and the gradual introduction of the really phased and stereo sounds adds a cool effect. Maybe a bit loud in parts, but the slower tempo and melody makes this one interesting.
DDRKirby: Nicely chosen timbres, good production work, with really nicely balanced leads against the groove and the backing chords. Really uplifting and cheery. The chunky kick and clap/kick gives this a really kawaii feel overall to me.
Cryref22: Pretty introduction that’s sparse, yet interesting since it has an interesting chirp synth and just enough movement to draw in interest and tension - it feels like it’s growing. I think it would be good to give us an idea of what this is growing into if you work more into it, like where are we going on this gentle journey?
TheVideoGamer: I like the sparkly loops, the guitar parts are cool and sound good. I like how things come in and out with different space - maybe try panning them a bit, give them some room away from the center. I feel that kick is a bit overpowering n the mix, so other elements aren’t as clear. The panning on the loop is pretty psychadelic. The second section I like better than the first so far. I think an open question to me is how you’d transition from one to the other cleanly.
ethansight: Cool bubbly texture intro. The synth sound is super good and the slight delay in the start off the beat adds just that much anticipation. Chords sound nice, nice inversions and everything. Would be interested to see if this evolves more.

I joined, so voting time!
TheVideoGamer - This track is done in 2 parts, because i struggled to expand the first one, so i made a 2nd one to compensate. Beat block is real yo lol. The first part is more of a breakbeat style, and like the 2nd half features guitar loops. This one has an emphasis on pads and arps, where as the 2nd half is more emphasis on the bell sounds/mallet sounds. The first half is ok, but the melodies are stacked, so the guitar becomes less of the star, even though i think it should be. The 2nd half is also really good, and more glitchy, with it's manipulation, but i also see potential, as it can be a bit oversquished for me. Still though none of the beats are terrible, it just has potential. Oh well, glad you liked it!
DarkShadow - Intense to say were cruising on a road in a lovely landscape lol. I liked the first part, it was weirdly technological sounding, quite interesting breakdown too. The 2nd half was an unexpected jumpscare for me, and it makes the track pretty loud. Still though i sense potential here, it's very cool. Good job!
DDRKirby(ISQ) - We going all out in the Progressive Trance sound, so many saw synths, yet it also feels pretty beautiful. The arrangement is extremely solid, yes it's only two chords, but man it's so good. The melodies are beautiful, and the drum work plus mixing is great. It's not too loud or boring, it all blends through super nicely. I just feel like floating on a cloud, it's super nice. Nothing else to say i loved it, it was so good i chose it for the 2nd spot, incredible work!
Arcana - A quiet mix overall, but what i am hearing is very nice. It's got some dubstep elements, and a really nice use of vocals. Drums don't make a statement, but it doesn't need to. I like the melodies here a lot, it's dark but makes a statement i really like it. The layering of the vocals are cool, but like with everything here, personally it's over compressed. Still though, i sense a lot of potential, it's fire. Good job!
Cryref22 - It's a cryref track alright when you hear the tines. This is some extremely warm melodies, i feel very uplifted. The melodies are beautiful, and the sound choices is just top notch, so pretty. You say there is a skip here, but i liked it, it added something rhythmical. Arrangement is amazing too, just nothing else to say, it's extremely catchy and warm. Can't believe you made this in 20 minutes, it's beautiful. It was so good, i placed it first, incredible work!
Ethansight - Now these are some interesting chords, damn. The synth sounds are fire too. It's extremely sick sound design. The synths set me up for a intense trance vibe, but DnB works super well too. That bassline is really great, the whole thing is just mixed perfectly, and the melodies are wonderful and slightly weird. The track is just beautiful. It was enough for the third spot, amazing work!
Top 3 - Cryref22, DDRKirby(ISQ), Ethansight.
Awesome - DDRKirby(ISQ), Cryef22, Ethansight.

DDRKirby - Such trance, very wow! Wonderful production and the saws are so wide. EP for the final touch
TheVideoGamer - Guitars are great on both of these, but it really shines on beat 2! Dreamy and glitchy, sepia tones and a nice place.
Arcana - Big synths with a few nice morphs and exciting verse
cryref22 - Bright and happy, enjoy the long delay and little tweet topped synth
DarkShadow - Spinners type sunglasses beat
