DSF58 - Easter Special!

The number of submissions seem to be dropping off these last couple competitions.

It has waxed and waned a few times, historically. The long term trend is fewer overall subs but I think the average quality has improved (barring my tunes. :badteeth:)

I also think that the average age of competitors has increased a lot overall so, you know, grownuptings kinda get in the way.

Quality > Quantity :face_with_monocle:

If only we could get more people to vote

Excellent point. That’d honestly be a bigger boon than anything tbh.

cool takes on one of the greatest Christian tracks ever written - no4 was a really cool refit, you could hear a lot of the original sound in there but totally rearranged rhythmically and whatever, v cool. But no1 was like a SAW tune or something, really nice progression to that last section, very nice considering the horrible sample selection lolol

RIght got a coffee and am sufficiently woken up enough to focus.
Listening now…

Track 1 - nice rolling atmosphere, very hypnotic. Love how it subtly builds all the way through, and all the little elements come in and out dancing around each other.

Track 2 - as hypnotic as track 1 but in a much darker place, This one is less about floating away, and more about being mired and chained unable to escape. Relentless. Bassline is evil.

Track 3 - I got Aphex vibes from this. That kick is a chonkyboi. All that stuttery, shattered percussion is a nice counterpoint to the ethereal-ness of the vox and synths coming form the spectral realm.

Track 4 - those drums are a big vibe, so much going on and I like how they’re panned. Synths are ominous and suffocating. Bassline is a mean bastard.

Track 5 - Fuuuuuucking hell :exploding_head:
