[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...

[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

[Essence]

The melodies are really nice, love your hard dance tracks - however, and I'm going to be brutally honest here, I really disliked the vocals. They just seemed so... stupid because they aren't meant to resemble anything... sorry.

However! That being said, I would personally love it more if you used chopped up vocals instead, look at some of MDK & Dex Arson's tracks. Back on to the positives, I loved the dance leads, especially with that classic DJVI build up. Same with the chilled out piano.

To sum up, the things I think you could improve on/tweak is:
A) The vocals
B) The ending - there wasn't one, it sort of abruptly stopped
C) The length of the song - this ties in with the lack of ending above

That being said, overall it's a nice song, just not to my taste. I am also worrying that all your songs will end up like this - I have noticed a vast increase in songs that have the same leads, the same build ups, and the same piano breaks, although they're nice.

Psst, we need more stuff like reapers, elemelons and midnight sun! I love those more sad sounding songs.

DJVI responds:

Thanks for your comments! However I have to totally disagree with you about the vocals.
The vocals are like lead synths and like synths they doesn't have to mean anything.

Think about it this way. If you hear a track with some foreign language its totally okey even though you don't understand them. But if you hear vocals and you know they dont mean anything its suddenly wrong and dumb? The vocals are there to kinda replace the usual leads and make it more unique.
