[I want you miss (Glitch Remix)]

crazy!! i like this a lot. awesome collab.

ADR3-N responds:

Thanks! You should check out the original. I much prefer this version personally, but the orignal beat is what inspired the lyrics :)

[-= Heaven =-]

The pump up the volume at around 0:30 made me so happy omg! this track is so eager to please and i really fuck with that! the pacing is really solid throughout. I think one thing I might have liked to see differently is a little more play with core "Oooh , i'm in heaven , baby.....!" sample! Maybe some slight pitch-downs in tune with the rhythm? Something like that!

Still the transitions in this piece are very thoughtful and overall while scratching that nice Y2K itch I feel as though you really push to make something unique. Really cool work :)

Notmyfault09 responds:

Yeeaah , the vocal section could be a bit more diverse, you're right
Anyhoo, thx 4 the review !! = )

[RETROGRADE]

really love the creativity of this remix. you really did the service of coloring and animating ghostmane's heavy and tonally gaunt flow, i think this is really fun enjambment.

thankyou!

JAME24 responds:

Appreciate the kind review!!!

[Cat and Crime]

such an atmosphere! It feels very unique and i appreciate that :) i feel like there might be a little too muchh overlapping in the midrange and i get a sense of crunchiness on the gain,,, i feel like this is probably intentional but idk it's not working for me as a facet of the piece. i love the progression around 0:47 i think that was a very fun choice, and it melds back in at 0:58 very expertly :)

this is lovely, and i probably will just keep this tab open for a bit :)

TurtleBox420 responds:

Very glad you enjoyed it!

I fear my love for the "Codec Crunch" gets a little to intense some times. I feel like the more crispy the crunch, the more gritty the dungeon, lol.

It's the same Codec line I used for my AIM submission, funny enough, I just think the padwork here is a little overcompressed, but it wasn't something I put more than like 40 minutes or so into.

Aim Track in question - https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/1325595


Really goes to show how wildly different a track can turn out under different circumstances.

Also as I'm typing this I'm also remembering on the track here I kinda pushed Yoin's fuzz as much as I could before it was obnoxious.

I always appreciate comments, it's super fun talking about tracks and stuff like this.

Thanks for the comment, Jimmy!

[a groovy elevator]

that snare click sticks out like a sore thumb, but overall i can hear a very pleasant sound here. I hear that you're going for an elevator/bg vibe, but i think the washover of reverb is muddling the track rather than defining it. I love the pad/e.piano/bass on the lows, i think it melds so well with the main melody.

this is nice, but yeah, just needs to be mixed a bit differently imo.

edit - the mixing is a lot more consistent with the new version but..... omg this is gonna make me sound insane but i think that snare click should have a liiiittle bit more punch imo. a middle ground lol, between the initial upload and this current version.

bossimusic responds:

yo! Thanks for the feedback. I did upload the wrong ver. but I do see what you mean. lmk what you think of the final version.

[Abstract Exodus]

0:00 -:30 this is some heavy wild pushing melody out of the ether and i really love the effort and the vision

0:31- 2:24 when it drops the first time i'm enjoying the energy but ultimately. i wish it hadn't been breakcore! 0:53 --1:34 i honestly just don't vibe with this genre that much, i find there's not enough space on the levels to allow the features to breathe. it was very jumpyjumpyjumpy which is cool it's just not for me.

2:27-onward is a seashell wide as the shoreline pouring out this static wave of sonic capacity and it washes over me and i do love what you've done with this ending.

truly i think i'd love to death a song that more encapsulated the ending and beginning, and pushed the boundaries a little more -- i feel like there is a vision there!

VarxenCore9 responds:

1. Thanks for that tho

2. Yeahhh... too bad, I get that breakcore (or even IDM) isn't really for everyone. It's one of the main styles I make but I understand where you're coming from. Also, yeah I noticed that there's like a narrow dynamic range of the track, though that didn't bother for me after listening a few times. Still, I get that it's a lil 'jumpy' and too crowded but from what I've heard, breakcore tends to have that kind of chaotic energy, so it may sound crowded at times.

3. Again, thanks! I really appreciate that you liked the experimental intro and outro of the track.

[i am a girl]

NEK0BABY responds:

[I Couldn't Do Anything Quietly]

this is lovely, thank you so much.

jambrother2 responds:

cool, glad you dig it

[Greystar - Stability]

very peaceful, ty

greystarmusic responds:

I'm working on making an EP based around this track soon, opens very ambient and atmospheric & then will go into more techno / dance flavors, ending much more noisy & industrial :)

[Aphex Twin - Schottkey 7th Path (Greystar Acid Rework)]

really fucking with this interpretation! thank you for putting this out there :)

greystarmusic responds:

thank you so much! it was a lot of fun to make :)
