Wassup Thunder for the really cool story and development throughout - really nice "tribal" feeling that evolved and changed

ethansight for the whimsical bright sound and that really nicely played piano, along with those contrabass hits. Made for a really uplifting and satisfying sound

relaxd for the indie sound! The range of the voice that you demonstrate is cool and this one is fun.

I joined so voting time!

TheVideoGamer - This track is basically an IDM like number, or at least the beat is more unusual than what you might see typically from me. The drums are soft and subtle, opting for drum machine sounds, and percs, over bombastic beats like i might do. The melodies are a mix of major and minor, with parts that are uplifting and warm, and parts that are a bit eerie. The main motif is from the arps that play throughout, before we bring in a thick semi-80's bass sound, and a lead synth melody that is doubled in the B section. Lastly to give it atmosphere is a series of calming pads using almost 9th chords. The middle section is a little underdeveloped but i didn't have a lot of time, as is the case in nearly all OHC lol. All in all, it's definately one of my better ones, even if i feel i could take it further. Oh well, glad you liked it!

DarkShadow - Hard hitting as usual. This is one discordant arp, it feels very dark, but the groove is good. Lots of your usual time signature craziness, the unstable rhythm is really good. Some parts are a bit sharp, but i know you like to go all out in the weird melodies. The chiptune elements towards the end was really nice. Not my favourite from you, but very interesting none the less. Good job!

Yamalbat - I really like the organic nature of this one. Lots of great foley sounds, and a really soft piano that sounds very intimate. It genuinely feels like i'm playing piano by the window, it's beautiful. The string sounds are great too, it really feels like the great outdoors. Honestly this is just a lovely piece, i love it. Minecraft vibes for sure. It was so good i placed it 1st, absolutely beautiful, incredible work!

Wassup Thunder - This track is very rhythm heavy and i'm all for it. Not quite the eurobeat you are known for, but it's very old timey sounding like i'm in the 1300's. The rhythmic work is very catchy, and the ethnic flutes really make me feel like i'm transported to another world. It's got some really great development too. Towards the middle, it transforms from an organic piece into a more synthetic one, with a great 808 sub, and some cool synthwave like basslines and pads. This is a really interesting mix of Medievil RPG vibes, and modern electronic, it's super cool. More than enough for the third spot, amazing work!

Jmr - This is straight up SNES vibes. From the arps to the classic lo-fi bassline. The melody work here is very strong, it really brings out the nostalgia. The only thing however, is that it's a bit loud. Everything feels a bit brickwalled personally. However if we ignore that, the melodies are really good. It has potential for more smoothing, but the track itself is fire. Good job!

Meistr - You made this in 35 minutes!? Damn, this is some quality chiptune elements. Also like the last track, but this time we are in the C64 era. I just love the sort of sync sound you would get with the c64, it's some really quality melodies. Super catchy stuff, and great mixing. Honestly i'm shocked it's so melodically rich for 35 minutes, mine would just be loops and uneven mixing heh. Awesome stuff, it was so good i placed it 2nd, incredible work!

Relax.D - This is some warm indie music, which is not as common as i thought from you. It still has the Relax lo-fi charm, but more warm and less weird than you've done. The guitar tone is lovely, and the vocals are great. Drums are a tiny bit quiet personally, but honestly nothing about the track is bad. More to like than dislike, well done!

Ethansight - Lovely strings, really digging that classic Ethansight harmony. I love the reverb you use, it's so lush. The track is very dynamic, with the piano getting progressively louder, as is the melodies getting busier. Not much in terms of percussion, but it doesn't always need it, it's just such a lovely piece. Amazing stuff, definately voting worthy. Awesome work!

Arcana - This is a rare case of Arcana going happy, usually you make more darker melodies. Big fan of the bitcrushed snare, great effect. The harmonies are super interesting this week, and the mixing is really solid. The vocal work is nice, but a bit lost. It's not so much hard to identify what you are saying, more so the melody and dynamics in the melody are a bit...all over the place. The track has a lot of potential for me, it's super interesting. Good job!

Top 3 - Yamalbat, Meistr, Wassup Thunder.

Ethansight also deserves to be on the list.

Awesome - Yamalbat, Wassup Thunder, Meistr, Relax.d, Ethansight.

Needs Work - DarkShadow, Jmr, Arcana.
