[Into the Tropics]

Very chill, I like it! I really enjoyed the mallet instruments you had as they were mixed in very well with the other instruments. The piano outro was very soft and nice too. Also the bass sounded perfect for a tropical house song! Great work, keep it up :D

tysm!

[DJ Spyroof & Corexa - Dreamworld]

Your music always makes me feel good, great job with this one! I love the leads and the pumping bass as always, and the very nostalgic splash like melody. It also feels like the songs get better each time I listen to a new upload from you haha. Keep up the awesome work!

[Lo-Fi Mining Melancholy]

Nice work! I love DKC2 music a lot so hearing this makes me happy haha. I really like the times when the main melody kicks in too bc it always feels a little dramatic the way you did it here. The different instruments you switch through kept my interest and made me have fun listening to it. I especially liked the bells. Really interesting and creative way to put such a classic into lofi style like this. Keep up the great work!

P.S. you should show this to David Wise lol, it's a really neat take on his song :D

[IAmRustin - reef dreams]

Nice work once again! Sounds like some space aquarium music lol, or music for space ships. The drums and bass are nice in this, and I like the different melody shifts you got going on, you vary it pretty often so it never feels stagnant. The effects you threw in are also pretty cool! So great job once again, keep it coming :D

[EXOPLANET ft. Luna Lenta]

The retro 90's nostalgic feels hit hard with this one, this is so awesome! It reminds me a little bit of Robert Miles but this is so unique and beautiful. It's high energy, got the bass going hard with the most beautiful synths and pads, and amazing effects. It really fits the space theme and makes me feel like I'm zooming through space at light speed. It also feels like night time rave music too at the same time. This is the kind of music you can put on to just cheer up any time of day or just get yourself into an excited mood. Amazing work, keep it up!!!!

[Risk of Pain]

I can definitely hear the RoR2 inspiration in this, but you still managed to make something very original and beautiful! It's much more action packed, but is also still calm and peaceful in a way. Kind of like a calm and collected feeling. The bass is very well mixed along with the drums, and the melody instruments sound subtle yet prominent at the same time. Awesome work, keep it up!

Hairmilked responds:

I really appreciate it! I thought the song sounded relaxed in a way I haven't been hearing in a lot of Liquid DnB tracks lately, so I wanted to creat something I'd listen to 😊

[Toothy Grin]

Sounds like something from a story intro or a melancholy/menacing part of a story. The reverb really helps provide mysteriousness while the chord progression evokes the menacing feeling. The string instrument used for the main melody also makes it sound medieval and old, suitable for something like folklore or some monster. Really like what you did here! So yeah great work, keep it up :)

[Jaspion Eclipse]

Really cool ramp up from the intro, instantly getting into lively crazy mode! The mood is really interesting, it starts out happy and curious to intense and battle like later. That shift alone to the intense battle-y part and then back alone is just pure bliss! I really love the drum pattern and the progressions, they are so beautiful. I love how you made a drum n bass song have so much variety in general and made it so melodic, gotta be one of my favorite examples so far. Amazing work, keep it up!

[Night Drive]

Nice and simple synthwave, definitely suitable for a drive at night :)
I like your rolling bass pattern, the percussion, and the mixing. The melody is also very beautiful and night time-y. The pad synth was also a very good choice for the melody. Great work once again, keep em coming!

[The Uprising]

Very well made and orchestrated! It definitely sounds very epic and impactful, with a lot of rising tension all the way till the end. Reminds me a little of castle crashers for some reason haha. I love the different variations you have within the song even though it's mostly the same motif, it's very creative. Great work, keep it up :D
