I joined so voting time!


TheVideoGamer - This one is super atmospheric and sparkly, almost like a ray of sunshine. It's made up of mostly arps, airy riff's and long pad chords that is designed to make you lie down and do nothing. The beat and bass was there to add a bit of funk to the sound, as i didn't feel like doing pure ambient this week, as i've done a lot of that, and so instead i went for a more soft dance groove. The main melody is probably my favourite to date due to the syncopation, and it fits well with the vibe. Arrangement wise it's extremely simple, but i'd say very effective. Honestly i like this one a lot. Oh well glad you liked it anyways!


DarkShadow - Bringing the chiptune vibes to start, this is very oldschool. The melodies in this one are super nice, and the chords and kind of unexpected from you, it's a lot more castlevania inspired here. I don't know what else to say, it's some quality chiptune, well done!


DDRKirby(ISQ) - Of course for a theme like this DDR would bring the relaxing vibes, and you did not dissapoint. The chords are super pretty and chill, and the melodies are quality as ever. Even for mostly 2 chords, i didn't feel tired or bored, and the drum work was smoooth. Super nicely compressed and mixed. The drums are just so tight it's awesome. The arrangement is also absolutely killer too, i loved the breakdown towards the middle, and the changeup at the end. This is just some insane work man, so insane i placed it 2nd, incredible work!


DarkMystery727 - I like the adventerous vibe here, kind of feel like were in a desert. The looped ostinato is cool, very steve reich. The melody can be a little harsh at times, but the idea is super cool. This one is more minimalistic, so not much to talk about, but i sense a lot of potential here. Good job!


Darg0000 - I love the melodies, warm and hopeful. The detuned chords kind of feel out of place, yet it somehow works with the piano. It's like a mix of warm positive vibes, but with a mild sense of urgency, yet nothing too intense. The arrangement is really good, the climatic ending was great, very smooth, but warm. Beautiful stuff man, well done!


obScene - Welcome back man i missed your beautiful arrangements, and this is one of them. Maybe it's just that i like Major key's or something, but the melodies in this one are especially gorgeous. It's so warm and positive, but ernest and not forced. I like the porta square lead, you make such a cool juxtoposition of chiptune and cinematic vibes. The flute is lovely too. This one is just amazing, absolutely incredible stuff man. Not even hesitating, it's on the top spot, outstanding work!


Superjoe30 - Bringing the oldschool vibes, with that 80's drum machine and guitar. I don't know the exact artist, but it's sort of an amalgamation of Talking Heads and Alphaville. Quite the short piece, had to play it a few times, but what i heard was mixed very well, and you sing super well. Lovely stuff man, well done!


Unknown Pseudoartist - Shame you hate summer, because there is a faint sense of calmness in this track. At the start it sounds warm and breezy, but then it becomes a bit more energetic despite the calmness., Iit's very airy, lots of great harp work. Honestly this kind of reminds me a bit of Dungeon Synth, at least before the drums come in, but i dig the drums either way. Whole thing is beautiful, nothing else to say, well done!


THEGREATDESTROYER22 - This is super intense and hard hitting. It's like a fast variant of EBM but without the techno. It's very agressive, lots of confrontation in the voice. The melodies are very glide heavy, to where it's more just a series of gliding cacophany. I like this one, it's super cool, although the arrangmenet is a little lost, i can't tell what is a verse and what is a chorus. However i did find more to like than dislike, so i'll give you this one, well done!


Arcana - I really like the mysterious vibes here. The vocal work is super nicely done, and the bells are haunting. It's a short one, and the vocals are the star, so not much can be said, but it's very interesting. I think there is a lot of potential here, to smooth it out. Good job!


Ethansight - Ethan bringing the funk with these chords. The filtered breaks are a great way to bring the beat, the track is just funky as hell. Killer harmony from you, and that melody is exceptionally tasty. The melodies are just so good, and the mixing is absolute fire. I can't say anything else, this is just absolutely quality stuff from you. It was so good i placed it 3rd, amazing work!
