I joined so voting time!

TheVideoGamer - This track is the definition of summer, comprising of a guitar sample, soft pad chords, arps and a soft vocal sample which was ripped from YouTube. Initially it was meant to be slow and relaxing, but i didn't feel like doing that this week, so i sped it up to 195 bpm and worked it into a synthpop tune. Frantic intense drums, thick basslines and a hyper groove, making it both calm and warm, but frantic and high energy. Now the middle part when it breaks down was gonna be something more dynamic, but due to me focusing too much on the drums, i ran out of time for the arrangement lol. So it sounds half-baked and incomplete. All in all i like the idea, but it needs a bit of refinement at least in the arrangement. Oh well, glad you liked it!

Yamalbat - I love the piano and string combo here, it's got a soft but warm vibe to the melody. Like were staring into the ocean. It's quite deep, not much going on in the high end, but what i have heard melody wise is lovely. It's got quite the adventure vibe going on. I would prefer it if the piano wasn't as stiff and into the mix. The rest of the elements could shine here, but it is a very beautiful piece melodically, lots of potential. Good job!

DarkShadow - Hard already, not even an intro. Then again this is DarkShadow. The sawtooths are going wild in this, it's practically taking up all the frequencies lol. Liking the gabber bassline towards the end, even if it's quite loud and intense. I feel all of this could have been softened a bit, but that's just me. Sick idea with potential, good job!

Arcana - Early Arcana for a change, with some cool synths here. Melodies are super beautiful, i really like it. I really love the rhythms in the drums here, super nice syncopation. The vocals are a little lost in my opinion, not nessecarily quiet, just a lot of close muffling going, resulting in a lo-fi hard to understand vocal. The drums though are sick, it's got that loose lo-fi hip-hop feel that i love. Super human and natural. Honestly the melodies are there, everything is more or less perfect, the vocals need smoothing, but that's it. I loved it man, good job!

darg0000 - I'm a fan of time signature craziness too lol. This is cool because of how natural it flows, you can't tell where it's going. It's almost like trippy 4/4. This idea is weird, but in a good way. The piano has got mild jazz notes, and the arrangement is very natural sounding, even if some parts were made electronically. I kind of get sneaky vibes from this, like were investigating something. Not what i think of with the theme, but it's super cool i dig it. Honestly nothing else to say it was fire. Well done!

Meistr - This week is really bringing out the piano vibes lol. The transition into the drums was seamless and smooth. The LFO on the synths are crazy, it feels very wobbly. The melodies are fire too, it's a really nice simple melody that just works. The drop was an even bigger suprise, it feels very stadium coded with the energy, and the mixing was really great. The crispy snare and punchy kicks, it's just awesome stuff. It was enough for the third spot, amazing work!

Unknown Pseudoartist - Bringing the wave sounds for that theme accuracy. This one is less joyful and calm, and more like were in a old style game like DarkSouls, as if were going to stop the world from collapsing. Melodies are dark and haunting i love it, it's so good. Not what i think of with the theme, but in terms of melody ideas it was so good. Well done!

Ethansight - Probably the most uplifting submission on here, and maybe so far the most uplifting you've ever done. It's so happy and joyful, i feel transported to the Mario64 era with Mario Sunshine sounds. like a mix of both games. The electric piano was super soulful, a calm before the catchy storm. It really makes you feel good, the melodies are delightful. I will say it does take ages to get to the kick, we have a long intro. And if i'm being nitpicky, sure i could stand for a thicker more rounded kick, and a lead melody to finish it off, but the melodies/harmonies are just soo wonderful. Everything about the track is just amazing despite all that, i loved it. It was so good i decided to place it on the top spot, incredible work!

Coloradoweeks - A rare colorado appearance but a welcome one nonetheless. This takes me back to the 2000's where it was all cheese, but unlike those tracks, this is good cheese. I love the piano and basslines, and the drums too, it's just simple feel good vibes that i dig. Singing is killer too, i don't know what else to say it just a feel good piece. Awesome work!

DDRKirby(ISQ) - So far from the past few months i've always associated your sound with a space theme, like i should be in the moon or something. DnB is also your go too, which i'm not complaning you really do excell in the Drum and Bass vibes. Chords are so interesting, something you'd hear out of Ape Escape, with that DDR flair. The mixing is just top quality, i don't feel like it's too much or too intense, it's perfect. This is ontop of the quality arrangement it's just killer stuff. Love it man, it was so good i placed it 2nd, incredible work!

Top 3 - Ethansight, DDRKirby(ISQ), Meistr.

Coloradoweeks is also a contender for the list.
