I've joined so voting time!

TheVideoGamer - This track is a prime example of a construction type beat. I've taken the sounds of sawing, woodwork etc, and formed them into distorted loops, which is then paired with techno beats, to make the ultimate banger. The track is very much devoid of any melodic ideas, as it's really just the industrial mechanical sounds that are priortised instead. It doesn't mean the track is unlistenable, it still has some sense of normality, but it's basically a hard hitting dance tune with buildups and drops. There is a bassline playing an E note on the off-beat, but i only really got that using perfect pitch. All in all, it's not a fancy melodic piece, but if you like techno, then this will work for you. I kind of like it in that regard, even if melodically it's non-existent. Oh well, glad you liked it!

DarkShadow - Intense right off the bat, a DarkShadow staple. The kickdrum in this is a bit on the quieter side, probably because the bassline is drowning it all out. The chords are cacophonic as always, but it's super cool. It's very chaotic, in a good way. Not my favourite from you, but a lot of fun, lots of potential. Good job!

Exubeat - Lol the rap is amusing, yet it fits with the beat so well. That kickdrum is so overblown it's ridiculous. You can tell you had fun here, as there isn't a hint of seriousness here. Melodies are catchy, but ok i'll admit that kick is a bit too loud lol. If you toned it downed, i'd be loving it, but it's still fun though, lots of potential. Good job!

Yamalbat - Very short, couldn't even get chance to process it lol, but what i heard was super nice. Very street fighter type rhythms, and sick guitar sounds. A bit mechanical and stiff in parts, i feel more reverb is needed, and like i said it is short, so it makes it harder to vote on, but the sound was nice. Good job!

Wassup Thunder - Taking construction quite literally, just like i did, except yours is pretty much pure rhythm, compared to mine, where i mixed it with a techno beat. Also yours is more percussion, compared to my construction foley, but either way it's catchy. Loving the repeating ostinato's here, very dark and eerie, but not spooky eerie. The melodies are less pronounced here, it's all about the drums and sound design, yet it's so well done here. Nothing else to say, i thought it was absolutely fire. So fire it ended up on th 2nd spot, amazing work!

Meistr - Killer vocals, really liking the soft piano vibes here. Drums hit quite hard, lots of swing. The transition from the intro to the drop is quite a change, because the start in itself is a seperate track, but the drop is drastically different, and yet it bangs so hard. Maybe mildly brickwalled if i was to be nitpicky, but i do this a lot so i have no room to talk. Seriously for 1 hour this was amazing, i don't see anything else to say here. It was so good i picked it for the third spot, amazing work!

DDRKirby(ISQ) - Now this is a completely new sound from you. Don't get me wrong it has all the DDR ingredients in it, but the sound choices are more new for you. It gives me that Cyberpunk racing game aesthetic, with a killer DnB beat mixed with some oldschool synths, in something that is insanely hard, but also kind of atmospheric. The mixing is hard hitting, quite bass heavy but not overblown, and the arrangement is top notch. I try so hard to be critical with your entries, but i fail miserably because they're just so good. Love it man, so much so i picked it for the top spot, incredible work!

Darg0000 - This is quite positive sounding, very uplifting construction work lol. I know this wasn't made for the theme, but i still get to listen to it, and it's beautiful. Very happy, very whimsical in parts, but not too over the top, it's pretty. The melodies are quite in unison, but mixed exceptionally well. This is lovely stuff, and arranged nicely too. Ends quite quickly, not gonna lie, and i would add a chord progression underneath, but aside from that, i struggled to find anything really to critique. It was fire man, awesome work!

Arcana - Hard hitting beats, were also going the techno vibes, but with more melodies than mine lol. To be fair i didn't really add any melodies at all, this is packed full of chords and cool basslines. The vocals are pretty intense, cuts a bit too much into the mix, but the mixing on the drums are really great. This is a solid idea, it has a lot of potential. The harmonies on the vocals towards the end was super nice, i love it. Great idea man, good job!
