I joined so voting time!

TheVideoGamer - I've done this kind of track before, but not in a major key, and not in a general relaxing mood, more of an unsettling mood. From the beginning through to the end, we have an non-stop G Major 9th arp that slowly descends in tempo, whilst various of sounds weave in and out. This is in the form of filtered synths, deep bass notes, a thick sub as well as a choir that appears towards the last 2-3 minutes. Nothing changes regarding dynamics, and it is quite an intense listen despite the chill vibes, but the bulk of the idea is basically drones. Whilst all of that is happening there is a TTS voice narrating about how life is over, because they're falling and they don't see a way out. Kind of dark, but when you fall from a big height, you don't smile and laugh do you lol. I like this, it's kind of experimental and cool. Oh well glad you liked it!

DDRKirby(ISQ) - This one is probably the most experimental you've been ever to be honest. It's super sound design heavy, with lots of granular synth work, and super intricate rhythms, and a massively detailed arrangement that changes throughout, but nothing to where it's too much. It's also a long one in a while, and none of the 5 minutes was wasted. It's super cold and otherworldly like, with some insanely good sound design. Towards the end it does become a little standardise, with a nice beat and vocal sample, that gives off insane burial vibes. When i say standardise, i mean it in a good way, it homogenises everything into something that makes sense. Everything about this track was super cool and interesting, with some insanely good sound design and arranging. Lovely stuff man, in fact it was so good i placed it on the top spot, incredible work!

DarkShadow - DarkShadow always coming in hot with the intense sawtooth basslines. Bringing all the techno into one track, with some very dissonant chords in parts. The techno parts are really cool. Not as distorted as gabber, but fast enough to be like Hardcore Techno. There isn't really much syncopated rhythms as a normal Dark beat, but the drums are insanely hard and mixed well. Honestly this one is really good, even if the melodies are not my favourite. I still feel like giving it to you though, it was really good. Well done!

Relax.D - So far this party has brought nothing but really experimental entries, but i'm not mad about that, i like some weirdness to my OHC. The vocals have a bit of a "Help Me" kind of style, and the piano and synth work is super weird and unsettling, like i'm in a horror movie. Like something is about to happen but i don't know. Hard to judge this one, because it's not soothing or pleasent, it's kind of creepy, yet i don't feel like it makes me uncomfortable, it's just a horror type track. Honestly i'll give you it, there's a lot to like here. Well done!

Superjoe30 - Bringing back the drums this week in an Insanely 80's inspired beat. Honestly i get New Order vibes from listening. I'm a big fan of the classic drum machine sounds, they're underutilized in my opinion. I love the pad towards the end, really brings the 80's vibes home. I can't say much else, it's just a really quality piece with lovely melodies. Well done!

Cyrilthewolf - Bringing some really nice guitar playing here, very much a bedroom producer thing going on. The guitar chords and the tone is just wonderful, very pretty playing, and a lovely vocal performance to boot. If you want a shining example of a good indie song, this is it, the arranging and melodies are just great. Sometimes a guitar and a voice is all you need, and on top of it sounding nice, there is some cool effects here. Wonderful piece man, so wonderful i placed it 2nd, incredible work!

Nukage - Nuke starting off ominous with the intro, borderline cinematic. I was not expecting it to go in a more industrial sound, it sounds like a pleasent melody, but fed through a metal machine, it's insanely harsh, and unsettling but in a great way. This also contrasts with the drill beat. Super hard hitting melodies, but with drill beats is not the combo you'd think would happen. The buildup into the drop was insanely smooth, and the drop itself is absolutely massive. I know you make some insanely dirty drops, but this one is especially nasty this week. The glitches are through the roof, and the stutter effects are clean. The breakdown was also insane as well. This could be one of your best drops to date in my opinion. Yes i'll admit it's very loud, but the arrangement and sound design is more than enough for me to give you this one. Awesome work!

Meistr - Very soft and emotive, kind of sad in parts. The vocal work is stunning, you know how to pick a vocalist. The arrangement is really great too, it isn't over the top, it's super pleasent. Personally i would add a bit of a bassline, the bass notes are lacking, but after relistening it wasn't enough to detract the experience, the whole track was super pleasent regardless. Loved it a lot, well done!

Coloradoweeks - These chords are insanely beautiful, especially on that synth. The singing is super good, but then again you always sing so well. To be frank i've just glad to see you submitting still. The drum fill was insane, i love the drums here, it's super crispy and tight. You really know how to stretch 4 chords without making it boring, and the singing is just such good quality. Not much else to say, this one was awesome, so awesome i placed it third, incredible work!

DarkMystery727 - In a stark contrast to the others, this one is kind of cute and positve sounding. Like i've acomplished something. The beat is really nice, kind of IDM like. Give me a bit of an Aphex Twin sound. The arp is cool, because it's not on beat, yet it works so well. I like how it transitions from a pleasent sound into a more of technological and futuristic sound, but nothing too dark, just more futuristic. We then sort of abruptly go back into the first section, where it's all positive sounding again. I really like this, it's different but there's also moments that were super pleasent and warm. Love it man, well done!

Arcana - Finishing us off with some intense cinematic vibes, and a lot of reverb on the vocals. In some parts i almost get throat singing, whilst the intense in your face drums power through. The switchup was very cool, we go into a more trancey synth kind of vibe, despite the intense orchestration in the drums. The track ends abruptly, and the intense reverb can make the vocals a tiny bit blurry, however i still felt it add to the track, and the overall experience was super cool, because it was a kind of Electronic and Cinematic, yet still felt different. Loved it man, well done!

Top 3 - DDRKirby(ISQ), Cyrilthewolf, Coloradoweeks.

Nukage also deserves to be on the list.

Awesome - Everyone was awesome this week!
