Hello, Newgrounds. Been a while, what with classes and stuff. This was initially to be entered into a 30-sec soundtrack contest, but I decided to put this aside and work on it as a full length track. So here's the first minute of it while I get the rest sorted =]
It's my first true foray into the Dance/Nu-Disco genre. Let me know what you think!

Super music!
I love the way this flows. Drums could be faster though in some places. It's honestly much better than most of my songs. I dislike the fade out though, I think this could loop much better without it, and it'd be much more exciting without a fade out. Bass is great. Chords are excellent.
What program did you use to make this?
5/5
JandreParis responds:
Thanks for the feedback! Well, the drums maintain this speed for consistency's sake -- which is one of many other reasons. Ah, I know about the fade out, but that also has a reason of its own.
Program? FL Studio 12.2 :)
Thanks again!

Things I liked:
- Drum design. Really nice! They really lay down the rhythm and give the piece life! The stereo effects on them sound super cool, as well!
- Bass design. The riffs I'm hearing are super cool! I like it.
- Chord design. You voiced the chords really nicely, and i love it! You chose the perfect set of sounds for the job, and they work really well to promote the groovy feel of the track.
Things I didn't like:
- Repetition. It is a dance track intended for a soundtrack contest, so I won't count off too much here. Plus, your track is well-made enough to kinda counter this one.
- Continuous use of the same riser effect. The more you use a sound effect, the more it loses its intended effect.
- Fade out. I wouldn't take too much off here if it weren't for the fact that without the fade out, you could have very easily connected the end back to the beginning with where you were going in the ending.
- You have less than 100 plays :(
Overall: Dude, really good stuff! Add some chordal variation and you'll be set! Keep it up! 9/10, 5/5
JandreParis responds:
Really appreciate the feedback! Definitely will work on the chordal variation. The riser effect is placeholder past its first use for the time being as I'm developing a couple more to change it up throughout. And the fade out thing is understandable! I'll keep the groove alive! ;)
Thanks a bunch!

Excellent track.
Do ignore the moron below and keep putting out great work! :)
