[No Chill EP Teaser]

It's pretty good.

I'll reserve my more technical and harsh criticisms because clearly it's your first EP and you're bound to only go up from here-- it's not worth explaining all the little things when you're probably going to discover them yourself.
On another note, Never Spaghetti is a very good one. I feel like the other drops suffered from a lot of clutter and didn't really ever catch my attention because I could not really find a specific catchy part-- they were all jumbled together. Dreaming in 16-Bit is nice too, yet, I do believe it also suffers from a bit of clutter. I like it more for the sounds, though-- the lead is nice.

GobSmacked responds:

Ayy thanks for the review!! Ill try to improve :D (i tried to go for something trippy and some riddim in sicc and no chill. Idk i thought this choppyness was somewhat cool and gives some contrast to heavy bass. Yee maybe thats just my opinion :3 but its OBVIOUSLY improvable for sure so yeah)

[Plus21]

Cool as always. Sounds like old C418 if his songs were a bit more upbeat and progressive.

Surkol responds:

Wow you're fast. Thanks man as always! Don't know who he is. Sounded like a name for a plugin hahah. I'll have to google him now. ✿*,(*´◕ω◕`*)+✿.*

Edit: aah he made the minecraft music

[Cryo (Concept 1)]

Reverb is good and all, but don't forget about delay, too. They, combined, can add some pretty good ambience to it. Also, to go after the rather creepy vibe you seem to be going for, I recommend you add some discordant tones and stuff to not only increase tension, but to fill in the song further: it seems rather empty. Nonetheless, a good start!

Achronai responds:

I appreciate the time, thanks for your review!

I will definitely try to do what you've suggested, all stuff I didn't think of ^^; thanks for the pointers!

[Pokemon Platinum Gym Battle (Death DnB Mix WIP) (alternate mix)]

Instruments sound clearly sampled and there's no real background ambience or nice touches to the track. Despite not being an original compisition, it has okay arrangement. It definitely leaves room for improvement.

death2go responds:

thanks for giving me some pointers, never could really construct waves into something i want, so ive used presets and i guess never really got past it. could you also point me into the direction of what you refer to as "nice touches" as well? that would be appreciated! thanks for the review and have a great day!

[Hope]

Using just synth elements in the buildups took a bit away from the experience. Additionally, practically restarting at around 1:20 sort of threw away all the momentum you had. Good, though.

SimonVonck responds:

Thanks for the feedback! I'll try to change the build-up in my new songs and I'll try to keep the momentum, thank you! :D

[Blowing Your Ears]

Two problems:

1) Reverb doesn't match between sounds.
2) Repetition, which isn't inherently bad, but there's such a thing as too much of a good thing.

Otherwise good.

WhiscasKaat responds:

This track is from one year ago, but I just uploaded it. Now I'm getting better, please check my latest tracks on SoundCloud. Anyway, thanks for your comment :)

[Tessa Violet - Just Right (dan harrison b. remix)]

Groovy; funky; everything between.

Jakki responds:

Just what I aimed for

[cattoy]

'shut up i have the fucking stick'
that's worth a good 3 stars right there
it was kinda repetitive though

jamest1980 responds:

Yeah, or could of used different samples in there.

Thanks ;)

[Summer Days]

I could see Serponge using this in a level if it had a bit brighter of a sound to it, actually.

Props.

DaAdrian responds:

Okey :) nice

[Meprise]

Groovy.

Surkol responds:

Kinda (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ
