Alright so since I missed the party, I took the liberty to listen to every entry, and give some thoughts below. This will also be shared in the 2hts voting. Great party everyone!
RuukuVT - Chill detuned piano, very relaxing. This one is a bit more natural than your normal piano progressions, I love it. It feels kind of space like which is not what I was expecting for this theme but it works very well. I’m not really hearing breakcore, more jungle, but I guess I’m pedantic about the genre names lol. Kind of wish you learnt into the jungle vibe more for this beat it’s fire as hell, but as it stands it’s still sick. Whole track is a ton of fun, well done!
Rvdz - Ooh this one is kind of emotional despite the intense jazz nature, hot damn this is beautiful. My god you know how to make such natural and smooth progressions wtf. This is soo clean and expressive, it just sounds so natural and authentic. The twinkles of the piano really send chills down my spine. My god this is excellent. I just absolutely adore that piano line. This is excellent stuff, well done!
LBApophis - Interesting waspy synth. Something I wouldn’t expect from you, as you tend to sample a lot, and this sounds like a mildly cute melody. The drums filter hard, to where it sounds like a straight up dub vibe, it hits extremely hard. The melody is interesting as I thought it was gonna be C Major, but it sounds more like C aug in parts. The melody is very unique, but those drums are extremely dirty, you nailed your drum processing game. This is lovely stuff, well done!
Nukage - Sick intro, feels more mellow compared to other Nuke entries, usually it’s dark and foreboding, but I feel kind of…relaxed. The intro in this one quite long compared to other entries, usually you don’t waste time with the drop, however in this case you went all out with the orchestration. I’ve been so accustomed to your metal entries it really took me by surprise to hear EDM. Hot damn that drop is amazing, there is so many wonderful sections here. Whole thing was just absolutely fire, well done!
UrinalPooper - Punk rock in full swing, not even an intro. The return of the vocaloid is back! This is very grungy for a pooper entry. The shreddage is fire as always, and the vocals are great as usual, you always make the vocaloid more of a synth than a vocal, and I’m here for it! This was just great stuff, well done!
Ricardomenegasso - Damn that is some intense panning this week. Loving these terminator synths, it sounds extremely science fiction like. I just love the panning in this, it’s messing with my brain. The computer noises were a lot of fun, I just feel like I’m on a spaceship somewhere. Exceptionally funky, great textures, it’s sick. Well done!
DavidKirk - Techno vibes. This is hard hitting, although noticeable quieter compared to Ricardos. The vibe is very uptempo, and the syncopation on the drums is a delight. I do like the airy synth work here, it makes it more of a calmer techno experience than a hard hitting one. Love the progression, more subtle and all about the slow additions. Lots of intense impact and fill sounds in this, that kind of throws my brain off a bit. Love the breaks in this though, it’s very unique for a David entry. All in all definitely unexpected in parts but still very fire. Ending was extremely abrupt. Well done!
Adreqi - Loving those bubbly textures and soft sine pianos, I feel like I’m in a chill state of mine, even for one note. Loving the vibe work here, it feels very liquidy, like were underwater. Loving the string work in this, adds an ethnic flair to the sound, it just feels very cinematic. Whole thing is sick, great dynamics and super clean. Yeah this one is just lovely, very cinematic, well done!
Snipesy - Welcome, I think this is the first time I’ve heard you, this is some great deep pad work, feels kind of 80s in parts. Holy shit I was not expecting that massive DnB beat it’s soo dirty and raw wtf. Man that is some amazing drum processing it’s so hard hitting and fire. The theme video kind of works for this not gonna lie, it actually work. Man this is some absolutely fire DnB, I loved it. Well done!
Krirbs - Eerie guitar work, feels like we are prepped into a metal beat, but you are known to be very cinematic. The drop was fire, and very hard. So hard it basically becomes almost like a drone than a metal riff. It’s all about the textures than the melody. The chugging is soo raw and dirty I love it. This would go great with some drums, it’s soo powerful. Not much else to make a statement, but this is all it needs sometimes, just rawness. I love it a lot, very unique sounding. Well done!
AthanThatGuy - Fck dude these subs are destroying my headphones damn. The best is tasty we always, and the synth wubs are sooo fire. Man I love the word almost atonal arpeggio in this, it sounds unique I don’t know what it is. Whole thing was making me headbang hard, well done!
Vaiaphraim - One bit master is back. This one feels closer to a IDM beat but in Chiptune form lol. This is some sick percussion work going on. The melody is mostly rhythmical this time, and not so much expressive and I love it. Man for one bit this is so god damn funky wow. Of course the Vaia melody makes an appearance and it’s fire as always. This is some seriously good syncopated one bit goodness. So many great rhythms and chords. Well done!
Antik - That is one textural pad from Antik. I assume this is either a sample manipulated, or he’s found a very uniquely cool synth its great. I feel very chilled and relaxed, for such a cool unique textural beat. This could also work in a breakbeat kind of thing, but as it stands it an absolute fire chill experience. Well done!
Boomer - Man to go from Antik’s chill ambience to your thick ass bassline is never not funny. Man this is soo dirty, my ears are graced by these thick subs. Your psytrance basslines are always captivating. I love the eerie pads in this too, I feel like I’m escaping from space or something. Of course it can’t be a boomer beat without the gabber parts. It’s soo grungy these kicks it sounds like just straight up filth. The pad chords and melodies are also dark and wonderful too. This is just pure filth in the best way possible I absolutely love it. Well done!
Taiine - Last one of the main entries, plus one late one. Very chill opening, I feel like I’m in a cave but it’s all illuminescent, it’s very chill and pretty. I feel like there’s water everywhere, it’s great. Love the slow creeping bassline, and the thick DnB drop that really ties it all together. The subs are killer, it’s so thick it rattles my brain. I feel both relaxed and also in a state of high energy euphoria. This one was just fire stuff, loved it a lot, well done!
Meistr - And now we finish with a very mellow cleanser. The last two entries were very in your face in the loudness spectrum, so it’s kind of great to end in a very soft finish. Your vocalists always deliver, it’s very breathy and up close, which definitely fits this style. It’s super chill with a nice emotive piano and a sick beat. It’s not an epic piece by any means, it has more of a milder mellow feel even with the piano work. Honestly I dig this, it’s great chords, and some amazing singing. Well done!
