I joined so voting time!
TheVideoGamer - I had a case of the beat block, and therefore all my attemps came across as flat or boring. Eventually i had an idea to tap into an old 2hts entry, as i felt not only it was perfect for this theme, it also had a really cool buildup i could expand upon. The track is essentially looped jazz samples, that slowly increase in cutoff and reverb, to keep it going, whilst stuff is slowly brought in, including a kick, then a breakbeat, and then sound effects. It just keeps on building whilst stuff is being added, resulting in a loud repetitive listen, but a good one i will say. It's got potential, but i kind of like it. Oh well, glad you liked it anyways!
DarkShadow - This one is wild. I've seen you do gabber and dubstep before, but this...is crazy, and whoo boy, it's quite loud. Louder than a traditional DarkShadow entry for sure. Still very interesting though, there's lots of neat ideas. Good job!
DDRKirby(ISQ) - This is interesting, as the intro, is nothing like a standard DDR beat, as you usually start with the chords, not the drums. I also find it interesting you went for a 6/8 DnB track, instead of 4/4, not many people do that, and it makes it great. The mode at the start is cool, but then it goes into super uplifting mode. Whole thing was awesome. So good i placed it first. Incredible work!
Lyra_183 - I love the reverbed used in the vocals, it makes it feel like a gregorian chant. Melodies are great, lots of raw power. I couldn't really say anything i disliked. It was so good i placed it third. Amazing work!
Ethansight - I love the sped up arps in the intro, nice blend of ambient textures, with really nice funky beats. The shuffle part is great, really solid dance groove, and a killer bass tone. The bass and kick really makes it fuzzy, but not in a negative way. Chords are fire, and i love the little blues licks towards the end. It's just so good, i placed it 2nd. Amazing work!

DarkShadow - Big squares, and a few funky slidey solos! Unrefined banger
DDRKirby - Groovy time signature, sort of jungle vibes with the large space, bells and percussion. Moves into a wonderful pan flute break area, awesome beat!
Lyra - Mostly good job on staying in key. The reverb is nice, might be worth trying some slight delay too
TheVideoGamer - I really like this one. Peppy piano, happy horns, and all sorts of phasers. Your gradual filter sweeps are great with the fast pace, and once the huge kick comes in it's very dance-able! Possibly there is a lack of new instruments as it nears the end, but is really no problem with how great everything works together.
