Beach Rave - Well if you sought to do a classic EDM-ish type track with the source. I think you've got it down pat. Big drums, sucking bass, pounding hats. It is almost so 90s that it hurts. Then the breakbeat with the vocal break right before the chorus. I mean everything is pumping so gloriously it is hard to not like this. House piano, 303, deeper bass. Did you include the kitchen sink in there by chance? I think about the only thing missing to make this a true 90s banger is one of two things. First, Lately Bass or Two, A Hoover.


Coastal Starfield - An ambientish take on the source, eh? Rather interesting. The pads are indeed quite large and spacious. And really in this interpretation the piece is actually very beautiful. The big just overly bright pads bring a certain mysticism and wonder to the original. And really the use of space here is excellent. Nothing is really fighting for your attention. Just a wonderful take on the source.

I can only really vote for Souperion lol. Oh well, let's go through the 2 entries.


APZX - Lovely synth work here, i have a feeling everyone went for this approach. Then again the original was making quite a statement in regards to the electronic elements, so who knows. Very nice stuff, loving the melody, so vibrant. Maybe even better job than mine haha. Lovely use of the chords and synths, very vibrant and sparkly. The only critique i have really, is the drums could do with beefing up. The snare should be a thick clap sound, and the kick should be more of a 909 dance kick. The rest is lovely though, super great arrangement (Big fan of the ending), well done!


Souperion - Loving the ambient chords, really like the direction you went. The other remixes here (Including mine) are pretty up-tempo and involves heavy electronica stylings. This is very chill, and feels like were floating in space. I'm not kidding this is a perfect track for space, the chords really do this justice in this. The main critique of this, is not the length, i don't mind 2 minutes, it's enough to get developments in. No the main critique, is it's very...simple and to be honest maybe a tad bit on the repetitive side. I mean that honestly, and the reasoning, is that we have the 2 chords of the intro, being looped on the same synth to the end, whilst melodies pop in and out. Also some of the melodies get a bit masked by the chords, so i really had to pay attention for it. However i am sympathetic that this was made in a short amount of time, you wanted to rush something in, so it's all ok, and honestly the chords and atmosphere was super lovely, that was a big highlight. Well done!
