[This Is Not Lostwave]

the remaster of "aimless wandering" and the space song are very solid, i like them! had you still had the projects to them i'd say they need more polish, but that's not possible anymore is it?

TheJayJay responds:

thanq yuo and unfortunately not unless I just somehow am able to replicate them from the ground-up. With the Untitled Space Demo I very much plan on remaking it as it's part of someone else's project.

[Mood Swings (Untitled) [NGADM 2024]]

damn! very Savant-esque, with all the happy melodies juxtaposed with the hard glitch hop instrumentation. it sounds quite polished to me!

[MSG]

cool idm/dnb! i really like the chiptuney instrumentation and cute but thoughtful melodies. the tempo switchup and spoken word near the end is really cool

you could've titled it "MSEG", then it could refer to the synth envelope standard

good luck in the contest!

the og project title was "MSG Supplements" but thats not even a thing

[Solenne [NGADM]]

jesus... really fucking good for being made in such strained conditions

[walking in the neighborhood AND LITERALLY SWEATING BUCKETS BECAUSE IT'S 32 DEGREES OUTSIDE]

not bad for a first attempt at house :) the melodies are cute and sweet, but i feel like there needs to be more ear candy in the mix. try risers/fallers, sweepers in generals, impacts, atmospheres, and whatever else you can think that'll fill up the mix. also maybe a more prominent bassline would have been appropriate too

[Meuny - xfx silk fm_attk 14.3 (eth mix)]

cute idm! i really like the major key vibes in the melodies and harmonies. the analog bass sounds really cool, and so does the transition into the drums with the decimator

[Djjaner and DjOride - New Order]

man this is huge! i love the repetitive but brutal bass patterns and the mechanical quality of the drums

you two really made something great here!

[{CRDX} "Chillstep" OMG!]

goddamn! these glitch cuts and repeats go hard

[obelisk]

i feel like the beginning is a bit too repetitive, but the grungy industrial sounds and chromatic melodies that come afterwards make up for it. i like how stripped back the drop is arrangement-wise. the melodies in that part are very driving, certainly making up for the intentional lack of mid-bass information. the mix is very unique, i like how dirty it is and how that fits the mood. overall it's great, i just wish it was longer
