Meistr - Hot hot hot! Big snare, great wubs and a great lyric journey. Basically a monstercat right here wooo

DarkShadow - Somber sweeps, A big beat with some synthy crunch, almost had a tease of 150bpm trance beat at the end!

cryref22 - A big deep beat with light waving synth lines into a nice progression, very cool.

superjoe30 - Started off leaning into a spooky vibe, and then then the toms came in and turned it into a jam - interesting and fun.

nextGenNick - Great warm EP on slick breaks, lead is smooth and calming ~

darg0000 - tense and exciting boss music, slightly dissonant at the end

relaxd - Very indi, super gritty

Arcana - Kinda leans into synthwave, enjoy the big synths and beat, kick is a little quiet. My favorite vocal chain from you in awhile!

TheVideoGamer - HI-tek and fast, very punchy electro techno tune. Once the big acid lead came in the whole mix tied together and it got toe tappin warehouse shaking spicy

nukage - Solid buildup into a wiild drop, it sounds like the bass is twisting around itself!

DDRKirby(ISQ) - Multiple amazing reverbs here, great space and a smooth yet dark beat. Is there a bell/gong? And then great string toppers as well, awesome ~

I joined so voting time!

TheVideoGamer - This track is basically a mix of fast trance parts and hardcore beats, in what is described as something hyper frentic, and scary. For the entirity of the track, we have a looped vocal saying Intruder Alert that is repeated nonstop, minus some effects, and a pounding distorted bassline, that serves as the anchor. In the middle a 2 chord vamp appears for extra darkness, and then soon a 303 for a bit of richness. There is breaks where the snare will buildup and the reverb increases, but the vibe still remains the same. Extremely repetitive and fast sure, but for this theme it kind of works. Oh well, glad you liked it!

DarkShadow - These rhythms are probably the trippiest yet. It's like Lo-Fi Hip Hop grooves but at a hardcore tempo. It just feels so wonky and trippy. The filters are strong here, it's borderline acidic. I am a big fan of the bitcrushed elements in this too, it's a cool piece. Melody wise it's not my favourite from you, a little over the place, but the vibes are cool. I like it man, good job!

Superjoe30 - I like the supersaw usage here, gives me a bit of an oldschool vibe. The vocal work is great, really sets us up for the theme. The track is dark and unsettling, kind of EBM in nature. I also love the drum machine sounds, lots of variety. I would have gone further with a dark pad, but what i've heard is still fire. Love it man, well done!

Darg0000 - Very orchestral here, like were preparing for battle. It just gives me such an oldschool video game feel, the melodies are great. Kind of like it works for Final Fantasy. The orchestral sounds are super convincing too, it's a lot better than what i would have. I'd do a bit more to make it more realistic, but that's if you were to make it convincing, the melodies though are absolutely lovely. Awesome work!

Relax.D - These are one crispy drums. The whole thing is exceptionally raw and gritty, i think there is a bass guitat here, but distorted to high heaven. The hi-hat is super crispy too. Extremely intense and in your face almost raw. I don't know if it's the overcompression or what, but parts of the track massively divit in volume, to where it just sounds so faulty and wrong, and i can't tell if it's intentional or not lol. I think if it was one consistent volume, i would understand the beat more, but everything just ducks at random points and it makes it sound like it's gone bad. Still though, it was very cool i liked it a lot, good job!

Meistr - Soft piano to start, kind of cinematic in parts. The vocals are insane, especially with the chords. The drop is sudden here (Or the first drop), but it is amazing. The snare is super crispy i love these kind of snares, and that bassline is gritty and hard. The buildup into the second drop was also great. The 2nd drop just hits insane sooooooo hard. Mixing wise this might be my favourite from you, it's insanely hard but not too distorted or over the top. Man this was an excellent banger, So excellent i placed it 2nd, incredible work!

DDRKirby(ISQ) - Photek vibes for this one, it's a DnB track from you, but it has so many unusual elements that you don't typically hear in a DDR production, including a lot more dark ambient sounds, more experimental arranging, and really just an atmosphere that is very...otherworldly but not space like. The arrangement is great, i never expect the direction you take me, and i always love it. I love the melody, it sort of takes us back to the usual DDR moment, but in a more experimental way. Mixing is wonderful too, honestly this was just absolutely fire i love it. So fire i placed it on the top spot, incredible work!

NextGenNick - Another video game like piece, with some super smooth jazzy chordd, and a interesting breakbeat, that could work for a racing game. I like how the harmony is spicy yet not too weird, there's still moments of normality sprinkled in. Honestly i like this one, it's not too dynamic, but everything works, including the melody and the chords. I like it a lot, well done!

Nukage - The intro is full of sound design galore. The sound choices are through the roof, the melody really works with the sound, kind of underwater in areas. The buildup really gets me hyped but, however whilst the drop is fire from a sound design standpoint, it does feel a lot compressed compared to the buildup. Don't get me wrong, usually compression is applied to these kinds of beats, but i can notice a massive volume divot from the drop compared to the rest of the track. The sound design in the drop though is amazing, as is the rest of the track. Even with my critiques, the growls, the melodies are just so good, that honestly i could excuse the mild mixing. It was absolutely fire, i loved it. Awesome work!

Arcana - Also went for the Acid route like me, but with a slightly more horror theme. You do the trance sounds better than me, there is some great harmonies here. I do wish the kick was a little louder here, for the kind of intense track you provide, the drums don't really pull it's weight. The vocals are fire though, the melody is really great. Honestly everything is really good, i just wish the kick was stronger, but it was really nice. Good job!

Cryref22 - A rare long one from Cryref. This is very progressive house coded, a long buildup and a lot of slow evolving sounds, yet none of it sounds boring and dull, it all develops very nicely. The intro could go either way, but i'm glad when the main chord progression comes in, as it gives off a dark atmosphere. Lots of catchy filters, it really is a slow developing but very catchy piece. I love the bell that creeps in towards the 2 minute mark, it adds a more airy quality. I'm also a big fan of the sudden tempo change. Whilst the beat itself kind of remains the same, the tempo changing kind of provides a different atmosphere. It all goes full circle when the tempo switches back and the bell comes in. It's a long but super varied piece, especially for progressive house. It's absolutely fire stuff man, so fire i placed it on the third spot, amazing work!

Top 3 - DDRKirby(ISQ), Meistr, Cryref22.

Darg0000 and Nukage also deserve to be on the list.

Awesome - Superjoe30, Darg0000, Meistr, DDRKirby(ISQ), NextGenNick, Nukage, Cryref22.

Needs Work - DarkShadow, Relax.D, Arcana.
