[Bing chilling]

This is amazing lol. I love how you took some of the most weirdest memes and actually managed to make a dancy bouncy remix out of them. It even has a good progression that makes the almost four minutes of the track never feel stale. Even though this is a joke mix it's pretty awesome work, keep it up!

KayozKun responds:

Thank you :)

[Acri - Nausea]

Very intense, I love the cross between ambient and dubstep you got going on here. It's very interesting to hear these transitions in a piece like this, but also helps bring up the suspense. Instrumentation was also great. Keep up the awesome stuff!

[Lights]

Very relaxing, and definitely very smooth. I'm always impressed when instruments are played live in songs, so that's also very nice! The reverb on the guitar made it feel so spaced out and relaxed, it was a very nice touch. Keep up the great work :)

JoeliusNG responds:

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for the kind words.

[Accelerate]

Oh man I love that shift into pitch tune! And I can definitely hear the inspiration (especially with the way Waterflame often did his strings), but this still definitely sounds very original and unique. The melody is just very happy and exciting too, very playful. I love it a lot, so keep it coming :D

JoHassa responds:

Will do! Thanks for the feedback :D

[Super Metroid - Upper Brinstar (TaoristKen Remix)]

Very interesting take on the original, I love the main riff the most! I think maybe the mixing could use some extra work, but it sounds great! Going for the rock style was also a really good idea as I think metroid sounds good with some electric guitar. Just love this, keep it coming :)

[Windows Vista]

I can't blame you for using drums outside of Vista sounds, because regardless, this still definitely sounds like a vista song :)

I really like these kinds of compositions, they're very creative and challenging, and you managed to not only make something sound beautiful but also very nostalgic. It sounds kind of like a happy winter song. I love it very much! Keep it up with the creative and cool ideas :D

Thanks! :-)

[cool beat i suppose]

This oddly sounds like Earthbound music with its own unique feeling, I like it! Would be interesting if it stretched out a little longer to see what you could've done, and maybe you can make a full song using this as a backing track! Keep it up :)

llitterbox responds:

ayo thanks! have had a lil trouble making more lenghty songs recently but i'll see i guess.

[End Of Humanity]

This genuinely sounds very unsettling in the beginning, and for synthwave its very intense, cinematic and emotional. It is one of those songs where I can confidently say it really drives the feeling that its title claims. It's really just amazing, everything you did to it and how you conceived your idea from start to finish. I can tell you have a ton of amazing works ahead, keep it coming!

[Kiwisoda]

This is so pretty! It would fit perfectly in something like a chill sandbox game, or a relaxing cutscene. I love the reverb you used for this, as well as the delay. The instruments were also perfect for this chill relaxing feeling. I hope you keep making more awesome stuff!

[Digital Sleeper]

When the percussion kicks in you can really start feeling the groove, I like it! I see what you mean by the sub melodies, and they definitely add a lot to the feel. It's very gloomy and mysterious, which is always a cool feeling to have. Keep it up!
