Nice theming from these entries. DDR kinda knocked it out of the park, here, and I like the opening quality and link to the theme in the second part of Meistr's song.
I... physically cringed at the bug sounds of Arcana's song (I'm not joking, sounds like a mosquito is in my darn ear), but that actually makes it all that much more impressive. Very good vocal sampling and overall mood, it does take you places.
Good job, y'all.

I joined so voting time!
TheVideoGamer - I went the ambient route today, and i mean ambient. Absolutely no drums or rhythms of any sorts, it's just 6 minutes of pure relaxing ambience. The chords are soft, subtle and slow developing, the melodies are relaxing and minimal, and the arrangement is simple and slow. There is a bass here, but it's mostly stuck to long notes and is for accenting the melodies. All in all not much to say as it is a simple idea, but fun nonetheless i dig it. Oh well, glad you liked it!
DarkShadow - I find it amusing to have a really relaxing entry, only to be suddenly blasted by loud DarkShadow noises haha. This one is quite the rhythm this week, with arp sounds reminiscent of a telephone. Ring ring type beat. The melodies are probably the most chaotic i've heard from you, it goes by so fast lol. It's very trippy and weird, but i dig it. Not my favourite from you, but super cool, good job!
Arcana - Early Arcana entry, comprising of some seriously intense but dark vocals, some cool reverb and delay effects, and a tight loose beat. I don't know how to describe it other than it's a sacred ritual. It feels like i'm witnessing some kind of song but for something demonic. There is some cool looseness within the claps, and the deep bass work makes for a seriously hard NIN industrial sound. The track just keeps on going too, but in a good way, so much evolution in sound. This was absolutly fire, so fire i placed it on the 2nd spot, amazing work!
Exubeat - Liking the melodies here, simple but cold really fits the dark atmosphere. The drums are fire, such insanely hard beats. Lot of crash cymbal abuse lol. The melodies are really nice as is the beat, but the melodies could be a tad bit louder, but despite that it's just a killer beat. You didn't give me much to say, but what i heard was lovely. Well done!
DDRKirby(ISQ) - Smooooth chords. I really feel the futuristic ambience. The rise up and down with the arps is flight of the bumblebee coded lol. The jungle vibes was kind of a jumpscare but also....god damn. I love me some jungle, but this was insanely good. Mixing is absolutly fire, arrangement is just awesome. I really feel like i'm in a pizza delivery game for some reason. Either way, absolutely wonderful mixing, insane melodies and chords, i loved it. Definately going on the top spot, incredible work!
Gario - I really feel the oldschool techno vibe here, especially with the 909 hat and synthy bassline. The vibraphone is a lovely touch, adds a more organic element to the overal synth vibe. The string part was also unexpected, but i dig it, especially with the reverb usage. A tiny bit crispy in parts, but nothing too loud or obnoxious. Honestly from relistening i found more to like so i'll give you it. Well done!
Darg0000 - This is kind of calming, almost like i'm playing snow. The melodies are weird but yet warm, like something good is happening. The kickdrum is soft but adds a nice rhythm to the whole thing. The breakdown was very pleasent, this is a simple but lovely piece. Not much else to say it was fire, so fire i placed it third, amazing work!
Nextgennick - Loving the time signature here, very flowy piece, with some lovely guitar work, soaked in reverb. Drums are sick, but kind of clicky in parts, and the hi-hat is a bit loud not gonna lie lol. The melodies though are sick, that bassline is also awesome too, with the natural playing, it's the drums that i'm personally not a fan off. Good job!
Meistr - That intro means business, very hard to start off. The beat is insanely gritty, and the synth toms give a sort of synth metal vibe, even if the guitars are not centre stage. The track though is very intense and cinematic, with some deep piano, and some wild drum programming. The track is fire, especially with the arrangement. Some parts are a little louder than others, and the guitar in the middle as is the vocals are a tiny bit lost, but the ending was insane. Despite my critiques i found myself liking it more than disliking. It was sick man, well done!
