ReMix:Deltarune "A Glitch Hop's World" 3:52

Newcomer Spad3s fires up the formidable trio of FL Studio, Serum, & Kontakt to give us a feel-good glitch-hop take on "A CYBER'S WORLD?" from Deltarune:

"Yoooo Deltarune chapter 2 O-o

The moment I listened to this song in-game, I immediately thought of the melodies of TheFatRat and decided to try and make a glitch hop style song using the composition of Cyber World. :)"

Fast, funky, & full of chip textures and synths aplenty, this is an upbeat jam that straddles the space between uptempo hip-hop & EDM, laying relatively light on the glitching but delivering catchy melodic sugarcandy in, well, spades. Judges were unanimous; Gario writes:

"Well, this has been a soundtrack that I've been listening to more and more since it's come out, and it's one of the best from the chapter, to boot. Great choice on source, and the amount of meat added to the arrangement is on full display right from the outset. The production is clean, the instruments all sound great, and the drums hit you hard in the face. Stylistically it's very fitting to the source material, as well."

DarkSim was on point with the influence nod & some very specific observations:

"Ah, TheFatRat! I definitely get the influence here, in fact it’s unmistakable if you’ve heard TheFatRat’s brand of upbeat, kid-in-a-candy-shop glitch-hop.

I dig the tempo increase and sidechaining to get the track really bouncing. I also like your technique to cut out the bass when your kick and snare are hitting, to allow them to punch through. The sweet-sounding square leads are a good choice for the countermelody, although I may have liked a little more vibrato on the longer notes, similar to the source. The source actually has another layer in there which I’m glad you decided to omit, as it probably would have been too busy with the bass, arp, melody and countermelody already in play."

Overall arrangement is a little conservative, and judges did have a few pointers, but everyone was feeling the infectious, positive vibes the tracks puts out; kudos to Spad3s for a strong, accessible, easy-to-dig debut - hope to hear more!
