[X3ll3n - Freefall]

Good shit. What do you use for sidechaining when you don't have a kick playing, like in the beginning?

X3LL3N responds:

The almighty sidechaining plugin of lazy producers : Kickstart xD

[G-Spot]

Pretty damn nice, but that title is stupid as fuck just so you know. Makes you look like that clown meme that's circulating around right now.

SpeTheof responds:

Strongly disagreed about the title part, i think it expresses the song pretty well, think your ears as the G-Spot of a womans genital.

[Bouncing]

Nice work dude. Where do you get your hardstyle kicks from?

DJVI responds:

Thanks! I believe these kicks were from KSHMR's third sample pack from Splice

[Waterflame - Blast Processing [Dual Mix] [GD Sync]]

Sounds good together! I didn't even know that you were allowed to layer over an original and submit it.

Fendroca responds:

I actually don't know either so... Let's wait and see if I get some weird copyright issues with this xD

[Waterflame]

A really great tribute. It sounds similar to a Waterflame song but it also sounds much different and unique - I love the bass and the breakdown. It has nice aspects which repeat, but it still keeps you interested, which is gold, and hard to pull off imo.

I actually listened to this song a few years ago lol, never wrote a review.

MoonlitRaven responds:

Thanks a lot, I have yet to upload anything in a long, and it's nice to see that you came back write review ... I really appreciate it. ♡☆♡☆♡

[Legends]

Pretty nice, except it is actually PAINFUL to hear the stock FL Studio fx in here LOL. In all seriousness, this is good, I especially love the W U B S.

Stilactic responds:

Nothing in here is stock. I'm glad you enjoyed the song

[Ásum - Creatures [Dubstep]]

This is weird lol, but pretty cool. It's feels like 8 bit dubstep. The piano is perhaps a bit loud, but the melodies for the dubstep and panning and stuff makes it interesting. Not bad.

DarkInRed responds:

Thanks man!
* I understand you all catch the details I catched before publish it, only that you know how say it and I don't... But stay tuned, the next songs I have ready to publish have that improvements...

[Lonely Diva]

It’s pretty good. A really good house track, very typical djvi house. The arcade arp you add in was a very nice surprise that I didn’t expect at all. The ducking lead after it is a nice change too, and boii that snare is awesome. Nice build up... perhaps differentiate the second drop more? I always find this with your songs, the drops are almost always identical. They aren’t bad, but it’s a shame. This is why Reapers will continue to be one of my favourite songs of yours.

As for the vocals, they are definitely an improvement, but I would not be able to make out the words had you not put them in the description. The lyrics are still kind of mumbled. But it’s an improvement, it while adding them under the leads during the drop isn’t something I personally like, it was pretty nice and I can see why you did it.

PS Can you make some pumping songs back like the good ol days, like Rippers and Explore the core? All of your new songs kind of end up the same... they pretty much always use the same leads in the drop. I hope to see some awesome stuff from you in the new year.

PPS where is the lead from rippers and explore the core actually from? If it’s made in serum or massive I’d be greatful if you sent me the preset, because that sound is awesome and I want to play around with it myself. One of these days I am going to try out making a song in your style and see how it turns out :P xD

DJVI responds:

Thanks for the review! :) The leads from Rippers and Explore the core are mostly from refx Nexus. I may have layered them with some basic Sylenth saw leads but the charasteric sounds are from Nexus.

I may make some good old techno in the future!

[Tristam - Till it's over (H3XAGON3ST remix)]

I literally can't tell if this is any different from the original. Did you get the stems?

H3XAGON3ST responds:

You are kidding?

[MDK - Press Start (Froej & Trickshot Remix)]

Damn this is much better than mine! The tempo and some of the leads remind me of colbreakz haha... the more I listen to this the more it sounds like colbreakz lol. Anyway, this is really damn nice! Did we find out who won the contest? This is one should be right up there! The one thing I would love to see is the fast growls in the drop to be a tad louder :/ like the ones from 1:12 to 1:14. But that's really minor. Impressive!

TrickshotMusic responds:

Thanks for the reveiw, we did find out who won. We unfortunately didnt get a placement. Also the growls i did want to stick out a bit more but me amd froej didnt want them to stick out so much. So i just increased the low and mid frequencies
