[ps2 breakcore/jungle from the 2000s]

Simple, nostalgic, and effective. The sample curation, the stutters, the filter sweep, all comes together quite well.

[feel alive]

Amazing rendition of melodic dubstep, some serious Seven Lions vibes here. Such a great-oh hold on, I'm getting a call....

[as the clouds cover the sun]

This is so cool. It reminds me of future garage but with more space, drive, and impact. You have good instincts and sensibilities across genres!

[Goofy Gadgets (Part 2)]

Much goof, much gadget, much fun!

[can it please be over?]

So expressive and textural. Every moment feels like a transition to the next, which is my favorite way. Great instrumentation and voice leading, harmony crawling smoothly, decorated by arpeggios. This is just a stylistic choice, but I would suggest an even phatter/more distorted bass layer in the end sections to compliment the high frequencies of the hats and snare.
I'm bingeing more of your tracks right now; they're all so good.

OVERSCORE responds:

Thank you!! I worked really hard to make the whole track feel coherent, it was actually one of the most difficult aspects of both the composition and the production of the song. Glad you noticed the harmonies, I’m still really proud that I could hit those notes so smoothly without any autopitch tbh!
I tried to make the bass subtly more distorted in the drops, but the mix is so full that I just didn’t want to push it. I understand where you’re coming from though!
Thanks for checking out my songs!! The album I released back in March probably gets the closest to this sound, although a lot of those tracks are a different genre.

[a cry for help]

Great sound design and feeling of looping. Understandably direct and to the point.

[Digital Dreamscape]

Yooo this is fantastic, so crunchy and jumpy. I second vekoN's mix tips; as expressive as this track already is, I think those adjustments would enhance both the ambience and the aggression. Very creative!

Perfect for internal screaming in the club surrounded by fellow meatsacks (like this if u cry evertim)

Seriously amazing work

PinkShirtDude responds:

Thank you for your comment! Love being one of dem meatsacks!

[Dancing High]

Heck yeah! Nice amount of variety to keep it fresh, and top notch mixing! If I may nitpick, I would like to hear more going on in the transitions between sections (like breaks in kick/snare, some filtering in incoming/outgoing instruments, or one of those classic synth tom fills). But you nailed the vibes with this one, and the mix is perfect!

[Mist]

Such a solid mix and great atmosphere! Fantastic use of both tonal and percussive rhythm. If I may be nitpicky, I would have like to hear more variation in the drums, but it's pretty subjective. Great work!
