Pool party music here! It's vibe fits the selected theme very well. Nice selection of sounds and layering. I'd like if drums would be less hard hitting and more present throughout the track. It is only four minutes, but I felt a bit tired a the end of it. Perhaps some variety in chord progression and melody lines would hepl it to sound fresh.

In general, nice track. The classic 909 drum kit and percussion elements works very well together. I like your melodies and pads, but something gets wrong whe they play simultaneously. Like they are in different keys and time signatures. Sometimes musical elements even breaks the groove. It would be great to have an overall feeling of development and more softer transitions.

I understand why this etry getting the highes scores. I'm getting instant flashbacks from late 2000's/early 2010's listening to dance music podcasts on the radio. Overall, great vibe, composition, sound design and mix. Sounds very smooth and balanced. At the moment I'm writing this reveiw you have the biggest score and your victory is inevitable. Congrats!
In addition: I'm pleased to know that someone found useful tools exploring my setup. You may also try ToneLib GFX. It is completely free and very flexible guitar software with many amp models and effects, and thankfully, it has bass amps. Try to use it with Ample Bass.

Well, I think it is a good conceptual track. It feels more like techno, probably it should be called tech house. I like sound design in general but there is too much distortion and noise and mix is very harsh. Good vocal processing and a kind of underlaying story. I think with further development you can make something interesting out of this.

That mystical intro and oveall vibe is so outstanding! The sound design and mix is also good, very smooth and gentle, it sounds fresh from start to the end and helps get chilled, but I think I would use different timbre for main chord progression, sounds too much out of tune. Very good work overall.

Interesting sounds and ideas, lovely tropical house vibes. Vocals feels natural even knowing that they are samples, nice processing and editing. The mix feels clear, everything on it's place, but I think it would benefit from more aggressive mastering.
