[Military Santa]

This song is fun and dancey, I like it! It has a lot of those jingle/christmas instruments that fit the theme of Santa, but also a great energy that gives it a battle like feeling. The progression was great and varied itself up a lot too. Awesome stuff, keep it coming!

DancarMar responds:

Thank you very much for your comment and for your very professional review :D

[Rebirth]

Very interesting cycle of genres through the song! It kind of really helps match the name of the track as well, as it sounds like going through multiple phases/paths which would probably fit the theme of rebirth well. The mixing was great, and the instruments were picked very well for the composition. Awesome work here, keep it up!

ZexuZeus responds:

I like your detailed feedback and how you understand and feel what I wanted to convey

[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

Thanks

[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 :)

Raylectro responds:

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

[Newgrounds]

Я думаю это первый раз я слышу твою музыку с словами. Обычно я слушаю музыку только без слов, но я стараюсь разнообразить. Лирика прикольная, и слова очень добрые :)

А мелодия как обычно супер! Всегда рад слышать твои новые треки. Так держать!!

Спасибо! <3

[Magic Shuffle]

This track has such a weird interesting vibe, I love it! It gives me video game casino level feelings, but also tropical/beach, city, fancy, and other feelings as well. It's such a strange fusion of so many things, that it becomes this super unique blend that stands out super well on its own. The mixing is perfect, everything stands out super well and the energy is so upbeat! I also like how the progression keeps evolving into more new stuff and new territories. Sometimes even slight genre changes like around 2:15 when it turns a little dubsteppy for a few seconds. This is overall amazing, keep up the awesome work!

ItsOceanus responds:

That means a lot seriously! I really appreciate the kind words, super glad you enjoy my work thank you! ill be definitely be making more things in this lane in the future💖

[Grass]

This song has a very fun and happy progression! It's dancey and techno-y, with a bit of trance elements too. The slides on the main melody are really cool, and I love how you incorporated orchestra hits into the song (as I feel like those are hard to pull off satisfyingly sometimes). There was a lot of variation going on, and the song didn't stagnate at all. And the ending was also really well done! Awesome stuff, keep it up :)

ImATeaDrinker responds:

Thank you! Very rarely have I got comments/reviews like this so this means a lot :)

[Mikaiah - That Cat That Goes Wawa]

The main melody really reminds me of the iphone ringtone that I'd constantly hear around 10 years ago, but mixed up and just awesome :D
I like how much energy you brought into this song that was just initially started as messing with a funny cat sample. It sounds really dancey and pretty even though it's funny, and all the instruments (including the cat lol) just work together very nicely. I like the mix of chiptune like instruments with more modern stuff too. Great work, keep it up!!

Mikaiah responds:

Thanks! i really appreciate it! <3

[~Far Lands~]

Pretty interesting energetic ambient track! I like the introduction of all the different parts, and it definitely also gives off a explorative mood. The instruments you chose definitely fit the Minecraft style of ambient tracks so I think you got that very right. Only thing I suggest is maybe have some of the instruments automate volume (like for example either have a crescendo when introducing an instrument, or have a constant repeating decrescendo, etc.). But otherwise it's really cool! Great work, keep it up :)

Tyomich responds:

Thanks for the advice! I really need to pay more attention to instrument volume.
