I agree with the judges that the beat is too loud, the mix is supafunky and has a lot of style. If I had a low rider and didn't live in barren tundras of Minnesota, I'd be bumpin to this LIKE EVERY DAY.
The piano doesn't feel very natural, but it doesn't last long enough to be a glaring issue. I love the wiggly synth leads, and even though it is painfully loud, the beat is tight. The breakdown of sonic sound effects used musically reminds me a bit of a BT track, but it is handled with way more skill.

Super props, you are one funky dude.

This was one of the S3&K tracks that I had on repeat in my car, whilst sipping on jin & juice(i.e. Route 44 cherry-lime Dr. Pepper). I really loved the way this sounded like a well produced hip hop track. I'm not sure if that was the genre GaMeBoX was going for, but that's what my my mind kept thinking. Plus, the bass in my car was thumping, & my car bass sucks, but it sounded good. Long story short, I like them drums, loudness & everything.
Best recognize, fool, this track is the bling blam, or whatever the young people say these days. Gets my JTown Seal of Chilling-wit-dem-ladies-cruising-down-the-lane-shooting-fools-wit-my-gat-or-some-such-nonsense.

There is a hella funky subtle arrangement underneath the drums here struggling to be heard. Pretty please do a remaster with quieter drums. :P

If there's one thing I love about GaMeBoX's tracks, it's the samples from the games themselves being used, and more, the fact that they sound completely natural, rather than forced into the track. Robotnik Radio is no exception to this, and was an excellent addition to Project Chaos. Drums being loud is no problem.

Another great one frome GaMeBox. I really like the laid back style of this track. The sound effects are nice and lend a certain nostalgic element to the song. The drums are kind of loud, but I either forgave that or just stopped minding after the second or third play-through.

This is a very nice track, and pretty well mastered. I just wish it maybe had another element, like a solo or another key change or something. There just isn't one section that stands out for me. The song just kind of ends on me, and I'm suddenly left groove-less,

lmfao, awesome. Beat is a little loud, but I like the stuff packed into this. You gotta love the "pick up ring" sound used at 1:41. Classic!

This was one of my favorites from the Chaos Project and I was hoping that this would get submitted as well as iMushroom. Like most have already said, the SFX used in the song add that nostalgia factor and don't come off as cheezy to me. But more than that, this song is just mellow. I like how the best was introduced and also that it's taken out just a few seconds before the song ends. Good stuff.

This was probably my most played track from the project, so I'm glad it finally made it as an individual submission. The intro is definitely the best part, the way the piano just meanders around is one of my favorite styles.

Top notch.
