I had some fun writing in 3/4 instead of the usual 4/4. I think it turned out pretty alright.

I like the distorted texture at the beginning and the synths. There might be a bit too much reverb in the mix for my tastes, but the eagle screech sound effect was a nice touch, and I like the guitar synths and airy dance patterns. This piece sounds like a spiked ABBA song towards the beginning. There was a nice sense of climax into 1:17, although the bass there was a bit too loud and the progression and rhythmic aspects of the bass line could’ve been more creative. I also thought you could’ve done more creative work with the drums throughout this piece. My main complaint with the piece is that the composition doesn’t have a lot of room to breathe at times - by which I mean there isn’t a lot of variety in the energy levels and complexity of the texture. I would’ve liked to hear an atmospheric bridge or more minimal breakdown at some point that gave the piece a little more shape. Still, the production quality is solid, the sound design is fun, the rhythmic content is good, and overall it’s a catchy and enjoyable piece. Keep at it, MegaSphere! :)

I don't think you know what Hardstyle is.

Fantastic! Love the guitar elements you have added into this one, definitely sets this one apart from your other Hardstyle tracks. That drop is phenomenal and the fact you made this in a 3/4 signature is pretty cool. I can never undertsand how anyone can write in a signature because I'm used to 4/4 a lot. Good work and this track is just as amazing as all of your other works.

Amazing

Here's your usual dose of stars chief !
