[NightHawk22 - Frozen Teardrops (Lakie Arrangement)]

Definitely my favorite work from you. Absolutely beautiful!

LakieGD responds:

Oh, thanks! Glad to know that people are still listening to my tracks!
To be honest, I think I'll be forgotten soon...

[Divinity_XVI - Trickshot]

The structure, composition, and emotion are just so good! This reminds me of a Nighthawk or Dimrain song with its own little flair (and I think you even outdid them with your mixing). The piano bits were a great style choice, and overall, I think this piece really stands out as a great example of originality in techno! I was going to give a criticism; something that you could maybe improve, but honestly, I couldn't find anything without nit-picking. Absolutely fantastic!

GDDivinity responds:

Thank you for the review! The only concern I had with this song was that it was way too complex at the first drop.. I feel as if I could have dropped the Conqueror Sytrus-preset and let the Piano do it's thing.

[Vxrto. - stay]

The emotions come together really well here! The mixing is also very well done; every in the song works like a well-oiled machine. My only complaint is that there could be a little bit more variation. It just kind of feels like you hear the song's main chord progression repeat for 2 minutes and then it's over. Other than that, you did an amazing job! All of the sounds fit in neatly, and it sounds like a cohesive, nice, and fun song!

[Halo - Utopia]

I like the way this piece sounds! It has a very clean sound design and the mixing quality is very well done. The composition is very cohesive as well. My only issues are:
1. It's a little too repetitive, although I did appreciate those quiet parts like at 1:30
2. It doesn't have an incredibly unique personality

Even with that said, I think this is a very fun song, and I like that there's even a story behind it! Well done!

Halo5167 responds:

Thanks bro! I’ve been working on all that stuff with some of my upcoming music. Thanks so much for listening :)

[Ultraspeed]

This is an insane start. I love how everything works together, and the opening melody was pretty good.

LakieGD responds:

Thank you, but I think that the best track from me could be my remix of Dimrain47's "Buzztone Symphony".
Thanks for the review, by the way.

Sincerely,

Lakie

[Dimrain47 - The Falling Mysts (TsukiStuffs Remix)]

You nailed the chords on that opening, and the piano bits were wonderful as always. I find it interesting that you managed to keep the pacing fast even during the quieter parts. Overall a great remix (especially with that beautiful resolution at the end)!

TsukiStuffs responds:

Thank you! This is honestly one of my proudest remixes to date

[Spirit Forest]

Very cool! Definitely wish it was longer, but other than that, this is solid!

Barzoom responds:

thank you for the kind words : D

[Beautiful]

This is definitely one of the more beautiful things I've heard in the featured tab today. The progression is outstanding, and the sound design is very unique.

Bosa responds:

thank you sm!!

[South (Mahdi Mix) demo]

I actually liked how the opening transitioned into the main part of the song. The progression was definitely very interesting, but I think it could have used more intention in the melodies since it just sounded like random note spam. The chords weren't bad.

SamaadBae5 responds:

Thanks for the input, I'll keep it in mind when I make the actual remix.

[Event Horizon]

The drums sounded very nice. The chord progression and melodies could use some work. This isn't by any means a low quality production, though.

Reddz responds:

Thanks for the review!
