[westside]

This has amazing energy, I love it! It starts off with a fast tempo and a great ramp up to the main meat of the song. It also kinda has a "fighting" mood to it, like a song that would play in a fighting game or something of the like. I love the use of orchestra hits as they make the song sound more dramatic, and the instruments in general are also very well picked. The song sounds very classic yet unique and awesome in many ways. Beautiful stuff, keep it up!!

[Frostwalkers]

Very pretty, atmospheric and energetic all at once! I've never heard the original, but this has a very nice mellow start that helps the listener get ready for the style of the song and get into the mood. What happens later though is just a bunch of beautiful progression with great usage of pads and a very well executed melody. Awesome work, keep it up!

[Further]

Sounds kinda adventurey and happy, I like it :)
The use of softer instruments kinda helps it feel more light and a little magical maybe, and the way the song progresses makes it sound like a fun little journey. The choice of percussion was also pretty interesting, as the drumline sounds unusual but fun and fitting. Great work as always, keep it up :D

[FL Studio has stopped working]

Lmao I love the image you attached with the song

But the song itself is actually pretty sick sounding, I love it :D
It has a bit of a silly/sad vibe to it, but not like a depressing sad either just like an "oops" sad if you know what I mean. I like the instruments you used, they sounded slidey and videogamey, and all fit together thematically very well. Keep up the great work!!

[Holy]

The part leading up to the first drop sounded a lot like classic dance music, it was interesting to hear the more modern EDM style afterwards and then cycling back to the dance stuff! It also sounds a bit more unique compared to classic EDM with some of the extra layering and instruments you have used. The mixing is great as well. Keep up the great work :)

thank you for the positive feedback, it's nice to see good comments about my music

[Dem0n1x - Butterfly]

As soon as I heard the guitar I instantly got Robert Miles vibes, really cool! It still sounds very original though both in terms of melody and how you decided to do the progression. It's very colorful, uplifting, happy, and maybe a little spacey too. I love how with time you added more instruments and layers, it made the song sound more and more complete with time. Sounds completely like awesome classic trance, it's amazing!! Keep it up :D

Dem0n1x responds:

Wow!
Thanks octopus58, you made my day xD

[Urix - On My Own]

What a colorful and uplifting song, I love it!! It's definitely very dancey, also melodic (which I really like in dubstep), and the progression is awesome. I love the hard sounds without the grit, it provides for a softer sounding approach for the more melodic sections. But when the grittier stuff kicks in sometimes it provides for perfect "classic" dubstep sound. Great stuff, keep it coming!

[Rev Your Engines]

I've never played those racing games you've mentioned, but this song sounds great and would definitely fit a racing game! It's got that jazzy vibe packed with funky energy and just big brass and everything. Things are very well timed and everything feels like it comes in at just the right moment to make things feel grand and exciting. I also absolutely love the articulation on the guitar! As always, your music never fails to impress, keep up the awesome work :D

[Midnight Calling]

Sounds like a really dreamy and magical night time song :)
I like all the instruments you used, they fit a lot with this soft and happy vibe you were probably going for. The more FX sounding instruments were also really cool, like that one scratchy squeaky instrument that backs the melody towards the second half and stuff, that was really interesting. Progression was also great, and varied up a lot throughout. Great work here, keep it up!

[Lady Maria]

This song is uplifting and it sounds like you are soaring above the clouds :)
All the instruments work very well with a happy song, and it just sounds so light and calm. It's not sleepy though because of the energy you put in and the sidechain gate. The melody is simple but it honestly really works with this song as well. Great stuff once again, keep it coming!
