Beautifully made! Great work my dude!

I genuinely can’t criticize it that all, perfect transitions, beautiful atmosphere, I guess MAYBE the synths are a bit overdramatic, BUT WOW!

This actually really amazing to listen to I will not lie at all. Great work!

[Fra & Voytek_Music - computers & adrenaline [NGMC 2025 ROUND 1]]

Not bad man!

I like the instrumentation! Synths are cute though they have some very odd melodies compared to the drums. The rock guitar is also a bit on the odd side with all the chord transitions, sometimes longer notes are better for the job! It’s also an uncompressed, but it’s still sounds pretty well, maybe add some more hard hitting compression on the drums and synth.
Sounds well! I can hear both themes in this in a really good way! Great job, good luck in round 2!
NGMC score: 4.3/5

I love the sweet tune of this! It’s very peaceful, even with the guitar part! Really nice work man!

WakerLink responds:

thank you!

[Frosty Glide Ride]

I bet this collab has happened before.

Honestly, despite its calm feel, it’s definitely got the racing aspect, the ice aspect is also really relevant. The instruments are very well made and perfectly placed, I especially love the French sounding instruments (what is it called?)
Overall I have nothing to criticize, maybe there is some panning issues but it really depends at this point.
NgMC score: 5/5
General score: 5/5

Everratic responds:

Thank you! I'm glad you find it relevant to the theme :D The French instrument is likely the accordion - it's one of my favorites.

[Chrome Frost (ft. 3manon)]

I can hear the frontpage from here XD!

A lot of interesting approaches, I love the cool amount of basses and the risers going along with the DNB. The drums are also pretty well compressed and mixed, soemthing I’ve seen a lot of hardships in during this competition! It’s got both the ice and racing theme pretty well, and all the heavy aspects, along with the soothing orchestral are great!

NGMC score: 4.8/5
General score: 4.8/5

[Windswept In The Chilly Nostalgia]

Not really too much of a racing atmosphere, but the ice theme is definitely there! I love how the melody goes, it’s very cutely mixed, a few awkward parts with the piano and other instruments, and it could use more bg sound effects, but pretty much there’s no much to criticize other then it’s not too much like a race :D really sweet work!

NGMC score: 2.5/5
General score: 4.8/5

ZuwerWS responds:

Yeah at one point I just dropped the racing scheme and though "this sounds good enough, I won't try to force myself to fit both themes, it's fast enough I guess it could serve for a race", which yeah I still think so but I'm glad you said what you think

[DJ Jini VS. DJ Immy - ~Crystal Frostroad~ {NGMC 2025}]

WOW THIS SHITS LONG

Congrats on the instantaneous frontpaged (Jealousy increased +1) XD

This is really good, synths fit like a glove, and many of the instrument choices are really good! Love the bassy acid sub bass thing at 3:01, I think I used a similar one in my song Mustard Gas. It’s a bit repetitive, but again, this is trance, I won’t hold it against you lol. Most of the transitions are really well done, but some could definitely have a better form, less awkward or jarring basically. The melodies are great! Mixing and mastering is pretty good, uniqueness isn’t that much, I’ve heard many like this before, but it’s still great! This also sounds more like a dancing theme than a racing theme, and the ice theme isn’t exactly there so uhhh, hmmm, I guess it’s kinda there with context lol XD. But still best of luck to you.

I like how you made it loud, but not so loud as it to become staticky and shit. Really well done and strong work, good luck to you!

NGMC score(btw, the competitors are the judges): 3.7/5 (most problems come from the lack of correct atmosphere and theme)
General score: 4.8/5

my power went out whilst I was making this comment … bro

[Chocnoon x Carboluka - LAS AVENTURAS FLIPANTES DE JOAQUIN ALEJANDRO EL DRAGON AZUL (DCLXIX)]

Fortnite

Pretty cool hardcore music, I agree, @Carboluka being a beginner in hardcore did really well with this :D

The mixing overall is straightforward, nothing to wild or crazy, melodies are basic but effective, that is until we hear the acid lead at 2:12, IMO not that great instrument choice, but it works as a sorta beta version, perhaps maybe there is a better lead for it.
I also can definitely hear the arctic and racing feel in this. It’s also a bit empty at 3:00, maybe higher the volume on the light backgrounds pads. The next part is sweet due to the transformation like transition, it’s really good! The drop is back, and thus ends it all!
Pretty well mixed, mastered, some instruments could be swapped out, but overall, this is a great track I’d definitely hear at a dance, i love the unique approach to the transitioning in this song!

Almost forgot to score XD
NGMC score: 4.2/5
General score: 4.4/5

carboluka responds:

As you can probably tell, the lead was made by me 🤣 (it could very well be playing in the wrong role, but it conveys the sheer sense of S P E E D)

I was channeling my inner cheesy-ness to get the most out of the sound design, but I can never hold back on transitions, glad you like those!

[crispy x Solacitude - Boreal Speedway]

The fucking Theodore Roosevelt man in the arena speech as a sample… my goodness you are speaking softly with a big stick there.

Not really ice themed other then the bell IMO, but definitely racing themed, I love the guitar at 1:10, it then starts to get more icy themed at 1:32, but I think it’d be better if you tried holding onto the ice through out. The piano by @Solacitude is very well made, props to him! It then loses the ice at around 2:23 back into pure racing frenzy. Very good instrumentation, mixing and mastering, everything sounds very clear, and the guitar still sounds amazing! Very amazing work! Keep it up!
NGMC score: 4/5
General score: 4.7/5
Sample decision: 5/5

crispybatteryacid responds:

Thanks for the review, CF! Lol you recognized the speech? Nice

Yeah we tried to keep to the arctic theme as best we could, drifted off in a few places bu l think we did pretty well overall. Glad you enjoyed, and thanks for the feedback!

[one80 & radon - Arctic Overdrive [NGMC 2025 Round 1]]

Very loud! I like it! I love all the different approaches, and the mariokart sample at the start definitely adds to the mix. The melody and bass is really well done, though it gets so loud it becomes not so well mixed, when you put something at to high a volume or compression, it sounds like static, so maybe turn it down a little. Imma ignore 1:42… I don’t like Breakcore but I won’t let it affect my scoring, I’m discarding it entirely.
The riser is pumping as shit, almost started doing push-ups. Then shit drops and we’re back on track. Pretty well done and very gritty in the second part, I love it!

The ice and racing themes are definitely there, but as I’ve said, some areas could have less volume, and additionally it could be less repetitive, but I don’t think I got the right to say that since this is trance lol. Samples and scratches oddly fit there at the end. Overall well done! A pretty strong work in general and the competition!

NGMC score: 4.5/5
General score: 4.6/5
