[Mesage - Criminal Mission]

the big energy here is pretty fun. i like the song in its quieter moments the best, the outro especially was a treat for me. the way the intro comes in with these big bells and the stompy drums creates a cool atmosphere and i love the shrill stabbing synths. and the reverse scream sound at like 1:15 is crazy cool. at this point the song seems to stagnate a bit, from 1:30 up until the outro, and i feel like it could stand to be a little shorter for that reason. maybe because there's not much of a bridge? im not sure. regardless, i really like the outro!!

Mesage responds:

thank you for your feedback! it was a pleasure reading this and I'm glad you liked it!
I regret that I rushed the 1:30 to outro part.
I'll try not to make such mistakes again.

[House of Jubilation]

eerie is definitely right! am I hearing strategically based wrong notes? It's interesting. the pitch is super high, so I couldn't listen to it very loudly but, there is a mood here. very striking tone that I think matches with the title super well. it's very unsettling in how hard the song is almost, like, grinning at me. I really appreciate that the song strikes the way it does without getting too hyper and speedy about it.

yorusa responds:

thanks a lot for reviewing i appreciate it

[Mirror (Radio Edit) - JustiXian]

I feel like the vocals are operating on a different key than the rest of the song. It sounds a little like square peg in the round hole. It's quite jarring, especially when the rest of the song is generally nice and inoffensive (for better or for worse) the re-drop that cuts the vocals out sets the piece back on track and the ending bit that starts at 2:40 is probably my favorite portion of the song overall. It's the most uniquely voiced portion of the song, whereas a lot of the first half is YouTube-Vlogger intro-y. I think this is my problem, though? I'm not sure... I feel like the song feels just a little cookie-cutter for the genre and I am left wanting more of what makes you as a producer tick. It seems very general in its progression and instrumentation. I hope this doesn't come across as rude. I wish you the best!

JustikShow responds:

Yo! Thanks for your review. I'll keep on trying to do my best.

Charlmot responds:

Very much appreciated, glad you liked it!

[Fake Paradise]

you could probs mark the genre here under Drum & Bass, but this is awesome!! I feel like it conserves your unique ideas in sound but mainly keeps things consistently fresh throughout. there's never a dull moment here and that's why i like this song a lot!!!! well done. there's not exactly an ending but other than that, it's right on.

I would love to hear some of your weird soundfont ideas with this level of polish and consistency! :) i'm getting inspiration for my own music at this point. thank you so much for sharing these!

TheKindDevil responds:

Hey, Thank You For Your Valuable Feedback! : )

[Other Worlds]

i really like the backing in the 2nd half. it meshes with the forefront so well, gives the track a great sense of body and depth.

i feel like overall not a lot of unique stuff is happening here but this is very well-crafted nonetheless ; i would dance 2 it at the club 4sure

Axsou responds:

Thanks, I wish I made this one instead of my first vip because it wasn’t accepted at the formal I went to, there is a quite unique collab in the works though (if I can finish it lol)

[IAmRustin - scratchy (TRACKTOBER)]

love the way the scratching sample gets played with here throughout, though at times it feels just a hair offbeat.

the track is pretty lowkey but the quality is not! you have a great ear for structure & its super super impressive you made tracktober work. keep up the passion, you can go really far!

200andSeven responds:

thanks for the feedback!! excited to do this again next year 🙌🙌
