[SPD. UP!]

Love this tune all the way. I can definitely hear the Frenchcore influence, and I was amazed to hear how well LSDJ was able to execute the Frenchcore kick. The speedcore elements in the later sections really pumped me up as well. All in all, amazing work!

[Some Frenchcore]

I like the rhythm of the samples in this beat! I'd recommend getting a little into sound and kick design if you want to go further with this sound, since in Frenchcore and the rest of the harder styles most artists make their own, original kicks. Learning kick design will help you understand things like dynamics and arrangement plus have better control over your sound and mix, on top of originality.

Best of luck!

[CXNNIPTION F!T]

Listening to this was quite the wild ride! The basses and synths really pack the chaotic energy in their arrangement without going overboard on the saturation, so I was energized all the way. The segues from the relatively atonal drops to the more melodic breakdowns felt so smooth, and I loved how you incorporated the breakdown synths in the drops themselves as opposed to just making them filler.

Overall, the balance between cleanliness and fullness was superb, and I came out of this like I'd gone through an adventure. Keep up the good vibes!

[YMPAUSHUTYR]

This fits really well with the doomcore genre, with also uses a slow-paced gabber kick. Doomcore also employs a dark and apocalyptic atmosphere, both of which are very present in this track. I like the direction you took with this piece, which focuses on a different kind of brutal than most hardcore tracks—one that relies on space and steadiness instead of sheer distortion.

OH I've never heard of "doomcore" before! I like that!
I'll have to look some of that up-- would love to learn more about it. I definitely wanted to emphasize the feeling of "everything is much bigger than me and I am small and weak" in this one. Thank you~

(ps i'll reply your message soon, I promise)

[Symbiosis]

This groove and meter is simply fantastic! And the transition from chiptune to neuro was so well executed; so smooth yet so riveting. I was enthralled by your audial adventure.

[Pakito - Living On Video (AlexXTech Remix)]

The kick feels inconsistent in volume at times, and elements fluctuate between sounding too harsh and too dull. Do you have a limiter on your master? If so, you might want to tweak the controls or use additional plugins so that the compression isn't so harsh. But other than that, the rhythm is nice and the sounds aren't half bad.

[凹凸※凸凹 [Outotsu※Dekoboko]]

I love the style mashups! They seem to meld harmoniously with each other, with two or more styles playing simultaneously before segueing to some new combination! Nothing feels repetitive, yet it still retains those rave vibes!

[Last Stand]

I love the tension in this melody! The sounds are pretty retro too and remind me of old DS games; how'd you make them?

[Calling]

Loving the chill vibe! The echo-y and serene sounds strike well with the snappy drums. Definitely evokes a wistful feel.

[Rise Up (300 BPM Terrorcore Edit)]

Woah, this goes really intense! Dynamics don't feel overwhelming yet they bring out the energy nevertheless! I love your dynamic pitching of the instrumentals in certain sections.
