I think I have a couple of favorites this week.
DDRKirby for capturing that awesome 2000s rave sound and for the sheer development, it hits the euphoria pretty hard.
ethansight for the super nice sound. Simple beats but great produced groove here.
TheVideoGamer for the pure insanity. It's really great that you made all of the samples from 909s too.
Enjoyed also Darkshadow for the rave sound and relaxd for the weirdness. Meistr and co. had a really sick drop and despite being loud everything was super clear, great production.

TheVideoGamer - This track is basically a gabber piece from me. If you're gonna give me an image of a rave, especially one coded in 90's, then expect my music to be of that nature. Normally i don't make gabber, because i make listenable music (Not that it's not listenable, it is), but sometimes these themes bring out the exception. It's basically as 90's gabber as it can be. Intense distorted kicks, 90's rave stabs that are maded into various riffs, and a vocal rap i made using TTS, that actually doesn't sound that bad. The arrangement is mainly simple, with mostly a stab melody or a breakdown keeping it from being too boring, but aside from that it's a simple one from me. It is loud yes, and distorted, but that's the point of gabber. I wouldn't make this all the time, it can get a bit much, but aside from that, i kind of liked it. And i hope you do too!
DarkShadow - Bringing the intensity already, but then again this is a 909 theme so i except nothing but rave vibes, which you delivered. Honestly for the most part even though some parts will be loud, i don't mind it for this theme, as it feels like it's integral to the images. There is some wild changes i will give you it, in fact i'll give you the third spot, amazing work!
Relax.D - Very spooky i can't lie, this one isn't about the 909 sound, and more about the dark atmosphere, like were in an abandoned rave. It just feels horror coded, especially since the drums are more acoustic than the theme would imply. I like it a lot, it's spooky and dark, it's great. Well done!
DDRKirby(ISQ) - Wow you understood the assignment here, this is so 2000's coded yet it doesn't sound outdate or boring in the slightest. The progression is awesome, it doesn't feel like time is wasted, the intro is great and banging, but the chords and melody really seal the deal. On top of that, the melody is so tasty and well written. The whole mix is 2000's coded as well. Incredible piece man, it was so good i placed you on the 2nd spot, incredible work!
Meistr - HOLY JUMPSCARE. I wanted my beats to be banging and loud, but not to this level wtf. The contrast of the metal and EDM is a uncommon one, but man it works so well. On a normal case i would be screaming about how loud and bordering annoying it is lol, and i say that with kindness, but this theme i don't care about the loudness, especially since i went overboard too. BRING ME THE INTENSITY. On a serious note though, that drop is excellent, and that's why even normal listening i would still love it. Well done!
Arcana - Cool shuffle going on. It really feels like were mixing Orchestral and Dance, but in a way that doesn't feel forced or out of place. The start implies more of a 4/4 kind of beat, but the kick and snare gives me triplets, i dig it. It's suprisingly good mixing to say it's a late one. Of course i can be critical, but i'll excuse the loudness because of how theme accurate it is. Honestly i'm generous this week, it was a great entry. Well done!
Ethansight - Wow you really are bringing the funky house this week, that is one hell of a syncopated chord progression. So much killer drum sounds, amazing funky links and a sick arrangement. It's not got a dynamic melody as such, it's really more about the sound design for this one, for which it is amazing. Honestly even then, the melody is still really catchy. This one is just so good, i love it. In fact i chose it for the top spot, incredible work!
Top 3 - Ethansight, DDRKirby(ISQ), DarkShadow.
Awesome - Sod it i'm generous, everyone is awesome. Largely because of how theme fitting it all is.
Needs Work - No one, because again the theme.
