[Streets (Instrumental)]

Straight filth!

I really enjoyed this mix dude, kicks melt in beautifully with the mid funk bass, yes to those hi hats, and you know me with snares man.

Dont even get me started on scratching..

(mind if i use in the future?)

Promethicus responds:

go for it my dude :)

thanks for the review!

[Hope For The Lost]

The cinematic feel consumes you instantly, I thought you found a good balance between sounds. This would be especially important considering the strings and reverb.

The mood you set is very suitable for a zombie type track.

You kept me engaged with multiple layers and progressive melodies. Thats kinda hard for most folks, so nicely done.

I could imagine this used as background music in some kind of japanese RPG when the main dudes girlfriend dies or something. Maybe their dog or just when the main dude fails and as a result a bunch of townspeople die.

Thanks for the responce!

Epic review.
Im glad you enjoyed it - Its good to know where im going right. I'd love to put more oomf into these tracks but i just enjoy having that subtle, almost ghostly feel to it.

Thanks again for you time and review.

I dont usually listen to EDM but I can tell you worked your ass off on this one.

Yes, squeaky clean highs, penetrating mids and perfect amount of lows in my opinion, they say too much of anything is bad, definitely the case for bass.

I liked the multiple differences you carefully crafted in every passing second.

Mastered quite well, rounded sounds are waaay better than sharp earpiercing sounds. You know what I mean, most people who try to take up EDM are too interested in fast pace and mostly lows or mostly mids.

This is a phenomenal example of "acceptable" EDM. That should mean a lot coming from the fact that I am a music lover not very fond of the genre, as most of what ive heard (from different artists not you) was trash.

Well done dude. (applause in text form)

Voltus responds:

Thanks again! Glad you like it that much!

[Euphonius]

I enjoyed how clean everything sounds. Everything had its place and all sounds were well balanced.

There were multiple layers I could hear which is great, it really sounds complete. Like it can stand on its own, progression and different variations also supported this.

I liked the overall vibe of the track.

It wasnt a traditional house track (punchy kicks right to the face) which would give off active vibes, this one came at a different approach, a more laidback type of feeling. Creativity/Originality (fusions) is always a major plus in my book.

Nice work dude, making music is easy anybody can do that.

Making "good" music is what matters.

Voltus responds:

Thanks for the praise! Really appreciate the kind words. Worked a lot on this one!

[HDC: Sky v Sound Breaker]

Amazing beat with amazing flows.

From what I heard:

Sky came with style as his main weapon, you can hear the personality in his voice. Spot on "chill" delivery but I feel content couldve been worked on a bit more. Yeah its a chill battle but we cant forget that its still a "rap" battle. That 4 bar sound effect idea may have seemed like it would give you bonus chill points for originality but I gotta say that really hurt his score on my card. The purpose was to be chill, not lazy feel me. Great flows though, I really dug his presence/aura (or swag if you will)

I feel that Sound Breaker came more cerebral to the subject. You can hear it in his precise rhyme schemes and polysyllabics. I felt that he came with stronger structure overall (cadence, punches, rhymes, originality, etc..) I thought his rebuttals were quite ear catching as well. It was fun to listen to Sky but I feel like I learned something after hearing Sound Breaker's verse.

Hey but props to both rappers, they came with effort and skill.

My vote goes to Sound Breaker. (Remember that its still a "rap" battle, and that the topic is most chill, not most lazy).

[SuperMassiveBlackHole]

This ones trippy, I like.

I think your fast flow is making it hard for you to enunciate certain sounds, its difficult to actually decipher what you said. Even so, for when listening to it like the typical person, it sounds dope.

Other than that, all your tracks have been nicely mastered. Ive definitely heard some shit and this isnt on the shit list.

RezzyTip responds:

Its a combination of rapping fast and the aggression in my voice that muffles it I believe. Thats why I put the lyrics to all of the songs on the digidownload. Sometimes when I rap fast, ill find myself over-enuciating and it sounds super goofy lol. But that is something im working on, being more clear without sacrificing the grunginess of the sound. I appreciate the remarks on mastering, it was really my first attempt to mix everything myself. On headphones I can hear some faults but hey, I tried haha. Practice makes perfect.

[Fiend For A Night]

Dope features and always comin with that crazy flow.

A real hype track. My only issue is that the beat sounds hollow. Wheres the bass?

RezzyTip responds:

Its a very low end bass, & doesnt kick until about :36 seconds-ish into it, but its there I promise! Haha. Appreciate the 'always comin with that crazy flow' thats one thing I always always always try to make on point. Glad you recognized the HYPE!!!

[[S_Rock] Lue's Knock]

In the beginning, I agree that it is lacking a little something. It sounds unfinished, not cohesive enough. I think your subbass is a bit too low in frequency as I can barely hear nor feel it.

I liked how you played with the effects. Like that filtered kick you added reverb to.

I did like how it sounded from 1:40. It has a fuller feel, a feeling of completion.

Overall I thought it was pretty decent. Loved that gritty snare.

Im a sucker for snares.

S-Rock responds:

I have speakers that can play those notes. Loudly because of the lower end bass notes. Listen to it in a car and it'll make sense lol Thanks for the listen bro

[idk to be honest]

The energy is immense here, those risers help alot with that. I think you executed those progressions properly.

This isnt usually my type of music, but if I were to listen to this genre I know this is what Id be bumpin.

I enjoyed how you splashed those eerie synths with some psychedelic sprinkles.

Dope, no doubt.

[Cloud Nine (Summerlust Remix)]

I think youve created a proper dance track over here. The mario samples mingle so well with the atmosphere.

I liked how professional your quality is, lots of highs in there, and the mids are just right. As for the kicks I do feel like they are lacking that certain "umph" get me?

Gotta make theyre eardrums shake in the club right? I feel like this would be the perfect amount of kick for a hiphophead like me though.

Awesome flip with the mario samples, im feelin itt!

Yes, and beautiful chord prog, I think punchy is better for a dance track.

Exilious responds:

Thanks man, I'm glad you liked it! I always did adore using Mario samples despite how overused they are. XD I always do my best to keep everything in high quality and evenly balanced. Gotta keep it clean, ya know?

You wouldn't believe how hard I worked on those chord progressions. I literally spent about 2 hours or so learning scales. After that, I put what I learned to the test! And funny, your outlook on the kick is the complete opposite of the guy below. XD He said it's too punchy, you said it's not punchy enough. Frankly, I agree with you. A dance song normally has a punchy kick to keep the energy rolling.

Thanks for the review my good man!~ ^~^
