[Definition of Insanity]

Супер! У тебя очень хорошо получилось сделать грозною атмосферу, и каждый дроп сделал с хорошим ударом. Создать ремикс дабстеп трека звучит совсем не просто, так как дабстеп музыка обычно учен хаотическая, но мне кажется что у тебя отлично получилось! Так держать как обычно :D

edit* Извини Руно, я забыл добавить в обзор, оркестровка вообще класс!

G2961 responds:

Спасибо! Да, возможно, что это мой самый лучший Дабстеп дроп, который я когда-либо делал.
Кстати, ты немного забыл про Руно, который написал оркестровку)

[feel it]

This feels kind of nostalgic :)
On one end it reminds me a bit of old mall music, on the other it kind of reminds me of phone hold music (but in a cool way I mean!). The beginning really helps set a relaxing mood with the simple percussion and the pads, and I love hearing the song develop as it goes on with more instruments and a melody. The choices of instruments fit together very well too, they're mostly very soft aside from the crisp but fitting snap percussion every off beat. Awesome work as always, keep it up :D

[Invention No. 13 - DnB remix]

I love classical music dance/techno remixes a bunch, it's really cool to hear this! The little breaks between intense sections help with pacing a lot, as well as the temp wind down around 1:09. I really enjoy hearing the harpsichord throughout the whole song even during the sections with the lead. Awesome work as always, keep it up :)

[Dem0n1x - I feel, I love...]

Happy birthday! I hope you have a good one :D
I also love this trance, it sounds like 2000s and has a fun progression. I feel it has more melodic variety than the usual trance that takes a while to start up (on average), and I def enjoy it for that. The instruments/synths you chose were also really fun, and I love the pitch shift at 2:35-ish. Keep up the awesome work, I hope to see you make more bangers in the next year!

Dem0n1x responds:

Thanks buddy, wish also all the best and happy upcoming Christmas!

[Calm Snow Nights]

This sounded both winter-y and calm, I think you hit the nail on the head with the atmosphere! It sounds very nice and beautiful, chilly, and dark (as in night time dark I dunno how to explain haha). I love the delay on some instruments, and the progression is really nice and seamless too. Awesome work, keep it up :D

[Stargazing]

Sounds like mid-2000s handsup/techno, like stuff you would hear on someones YouTube tutorials back then haha. I love it! The melody is sweet and pretty, the instruments are great and so is their mixing (I like how the soft piano is still prominent throughout a lot of the song). The progression is great too, and varies up not to get too repetitive and stay interesting. Great work, keep it up!

DJSuperSaw responds:

thank you for your positive feedback!

[Rituals]

This sounds dark, mysterious, and yet fun, which provides an interesting contrast and fits your description pretty well! I like how you get creative and don't really repeat much, but constantly build with variation instead. The instruments you used were interesting, and the articulation/dynamics were good too. Great work, keep it up!

Jotrocken responds:

That was part of the theme. If someone expected full on tribal I am sorry because I am not your every day music producer.´Thank you for your kind comment!

[inspired]

This had a fun melody! Reminds me of some older flash games or something but I can't place a finger on which ones for some reason haha. There was a fun energy throughout and fun percussion! Keep up the great work :)

[Way too obvious]

This was pretty fun breakcore :)
The atmosphere felt very fluid and reflective, and the drums you picked were great for what the genre is. Also loved the subtle but prominent bass. Great work as always, keep it up :D

[ocean of acid]

This is a little melancholic, which fits the description, but also is very pretty and calming. Kind of an interesting clash, because on one end you have the kind of depressing sci-fi undertones in the description that are reflected in the music, but you also have that sound of beauty that would represent an ocean and happier atmosphere, and it creates a very unique feeling in return. Something like this would be perfect for a soundtrack in some kind of planet exploring game where you could come across an acid ocean biome or something haha. Amazing work as always, keep it up!!

Glad that what I was trying to portray in the track got across to you. Thanks for the review!
