[F-777 - Ouroboros (Liu Wen's Theme)]

Reminds me of Kygo! Very nice indeeeed!

[Darude - Sandstorm (Beatzpunk 2k18 Hardstyle remix)]

Production quality is great. Drops like an absolute wrecking ball. Great work!

The second breakdown and build up is insane. The pitch bending is awesome. Great quality work!

djkevin-l responds:

i really apreciate that, Thank you very much!!.

[Redeilia - Wired]

Can't fault this. Amazing riffs and production quality. The breakdown and drop are super heavy. Great work!!

[Horn Town [Happy Hardcore]]

I can understand Joe's opinion with the kick drum. It does take over the mix a little, but Happy Hardcore is kick-drum-led. The music moves around the kick, as the kick is the driving factor of the track. However, the kick is strange and it has a tuning that sort of throws out the rest of the track.

If you listen to Hardstyle, the kick tends to modulate with the bassline. I think the kick here may need a similar modulation, or perhaps select a punchier kick with an off-beat bassline stab.

Hope that makes sense! The track is great. The horns and the riffs all work really well!

hardcorescm responds:

Heya

the kick does have strong tone that is on the fourth of the root of the track but i liked the way it worked with the bass, maybe its a bit marmite

i did try doing the middle section with the kick pitching about in tune with the chords but didnt feel it worked with this kick and arrangement as i wanted it to be mostly about the horns

thanks for your comment, it all makes sense :)

[Sieoctik - Make Me]

This is really cool. The detuned sounds may not work for some, but I like the mood of the track that they help contribute to. Great work!

[Madness 4Fun Collab.MP4]

This is really cool! Love all the riffs and melodies! The chord progression is really cool. Will it be a project you'll continue with?
