Yeah, sorry... I guess in hindsight it's a bit of everything, huh. Has a bit of Trap, and a bit of Trip-Hop. ...So now I'm unsure what to even call it, haha. It's ok. Now I understand what you meant. It is a bit fast for Hip-Hop (132 bpm I listed it as.) So yeah you're probably right, it may be more-so House or Trap with Rap elements than anything. I would guess the heavy use of sampling plus the vinyl DJ scratching and breaks made it real Breakbeat-y. Oh well, was kind of me playing around with a lot of different aspects of the said genres, so it's a chimera. Haha. There's never anything wrong with asking. XD Thanks again for the props, and it's always good getting to know minds of like music tastes and knowledge. :3 Congrats Soup.

Hey guys, some of you may be interested in knowing that Native Instruments (Kontakt, Komplete etc.) is having their annual Summer of Sound discount event. Now is a good time to get sweet virtual instruments for a low price. I've been saving up money for just a time like this and I'm super excited that they're offering the hardware bundles again. I got the A61 keyboard with the Kontakt 13 library (which is pretty massive and has just about everything you need, I imagine.) I was a little confused about the difference between updates, upgrades and the need for base products / software but I just received my keyboard and serials and everything seems to be in working order (meaning everything is unlocked so I have full access to all instruments.) Looking forward to creating music with this beast (big download though!) Here's the link for those interested: Summer of Sound discount at Native Instruments NB: I'm not affiliated with Native Instruments nor do I get paid for advertising. I'm just letting you guys know, because I often see people expressing their wishes to get a big library like Komplete.

Oh snap i didn't know it was already over. I was out 3 days on vacation so i did not have time to check upon the website, especially since mobile reception can be difficult, and i'm consistently moving, anyways congrats to those who participated, i will give you a source very shortly! Since i couldn't make voting, i'll post some thoughts about each track below: TheVodouQueen - Really nice 80's drum machine sounds, this is a very cool idea, especially since the source is very hyper and almost uplifting to begin with. The drums seem to me like a loop. Only because they seem to clip at the end of each repeat, implying that it's not timed to the tempo. I don't hate it, but it's something to keep an eye out. The vocals are amazing, it fits so well with the melody, amazing choice there. I love the melody here too, it's very simple, but works so well with the source. The only problem i have with this, is that it feels very consistent. It's not so much it can't be done, but i feel it needs more to distinguish itself from the different parts.(Especially since we have the melody on repeat, which i could have added some chords or a new melody) Also the drums like i said feels like it clips before it loops, but that might just be me noticing. All in all i do love the vocals, amazing addition there, and the vibes were lovely! Well done! Wassup Thunder - Really like the synth work here, it's such a great rework of the original. It's very much got the trademark Wassup Thunder euro feeling, with the drums and synths. I do like how everything flows as well, great intro, leading up to the melody. If i had to point out a flow, and that would be the drums are super aggressive at times, especially in the first half. It's not so much they don't work it's more so it's very busy. The second half is awesome though, i loved the switch up, definitely a great idea. Love the cute aspect too, very fun directions to take me. Really the drums are only a minor thing, and i think it's primarily the drum solo that threw me off guard, hence why i said it was busy. All in all though, lovely work! Well done! Souperion - Liking the light percussion in the background, very soft and almost ethnic influenced. Definitely feels Japanese inspired. The melody translates well here, great phrasing, the sound choices work super well here. The melodic ideas actually thinking about it, really do seem to fit this style a lot. The only flaw i have, if i were to suggest improvements would be to add a bassline. It's missing a bassline big time. Maybe i'm more accustomed to basslines, but i feel the low end could really bring character to the source. Also it's a little simple, but this could be in part the stylistic choices, since not all musical genres need a lot of sounds and instruments to function, who knows. Still though you did a great job with this, i'm in love with the Japanese like sounds, lovely work there. Great direction, and musical choices, well done! Hopefully i can get back on track, especially since the journey took 4 hours lol.
