[Night Rider]

Spooky Wubs.
A really awesome Halloween-themed Dubstep track. I like the intense growls at the drop and the build up to it is also pretty darn epic. Also that creepy laughter that pops in every now and again is REALLY fitting for the song, it really adds to the whole Halloween-like atmosphere of the song. However, one thing that I guess I don't necessary like about the song is that I think it's a bit TOO early to release a Halloween track, but other than that unpopular opinion there's nothing I could see wrong with the track; it's a solid Dubstep track with spooky vibes while still maintaining that aspects everybody loves about Dubstep. Well done, Novacore!

I got some more Halloween dubstep shtuff incoming throughout October. I saw Figure release a Halloween tune last week so I figured the timing would be ok. Glad you like it! :)

[MDK - Super Ultra (Novacore Remix)]

Oh yeah! Now those are some nice wubs!
A energy filled remix, and amazing one at that. You added your own spin on things and I like that; it makes your remix more unique and personal. And those drops, very well done! I'm a dude that really likes his eargasmic wubby drops, and you definitely delivered there. However, I take off one star and that's because the song is extremely repetitive to be more specific, the drops are repetitive. Like after hearing the first drop and anticipating the second drop, I was in a weird way disappointed to hear the same exact drop again. What I would've done is take the first drop and tweak it up slightly, a little tweaking can make a song a a lot less repetitive. But really, that's my only big gripe with the song, overall it's still a really awesome song, keep up the awesome work!

Oh an don't go on another two year hiatus without warning us, mkay? :3

Ipsiom responds:

Hey thanks for the kind words, yeah I had no idea what to do for the second drop so I figured I'd leave it. I have some future dubstep songs that have 2 crazy drops each that are different from each other (Halloween themed btw). Also yeah next time I'll letcha all know (I don't think there'll be a next time tho) :)

[End credits (free for use ending song)]

Now that's more like it, dude!
I love how you extended the song more with "breaks" sprinkled through the song. Like i said before the first melody introduced is EXTREMELY catchy, it's been stuck in my head all day. The song is also a lot more relaxed definitely sounding more like an end credits song. Overall, an amazing job, keep up the great work!

Thanks, I am glad I did better this time ;) !

[End credits (free for use loop)]

It's okay, the sound of the piano is a bit too rough though, for a credit song I expect something peaceful and/or; something that kinda says "hey, it's over" here it doesn't quite deliver that message, but that's just my opinion. But the lead that was introduced mid-way in the loop was pretty catchy, just try to make the loop transition to the beginning real subtly, an important part of a loop is to give the listener the illusion that a song goes on forever, here, I can kind off distinguish were the song ends and starts...

Now here's my real nitpick with this song: it's not House Music. I'm a bit guilty of putting a song in a category that doesn't belong myself, but then I began to learn what each type of music genre's key aspects are and now that's barely a problem now. You really need to research what's considered house music, because I'll be blunt right now; this ain't House Music, it has aspects of House Music but it isn't a full-fledged House Song, in fact, it's not a full-fledged anything, to be honest... This song would go under Other - Cinematic or, to a certain extent, Electronic - Ambient. I'm sure you're still learning this stuff (and trust so am I) so I can completely understand this rather minor error, but yeah, I hope I didn't sound too rough here... I'm just trying to point a fellow aspiring music producer in the right direction, hope this helped a little and good luck in the future!

[Xtrullor - Birth of the Sun]

Jaw-Dropingly Eargasmic,
Dear GOD, you're drops get better by the song. You're songs are always so well orchestrated (no pun intended) and it's rather clear you put a lot of hard work and passion into every single one of your songs, people like you (and many other's on Newgrounds) need more praise and attention, it really is baffling how so many talented people are on this site and completely unnoticed, quite frankly it makes me angry.

But, I digress, if you could improve on one thing is your drums. I've noticed a trend in all of your songs; your drums are always the weakest part of your songs, in your song Ichor is just simply a Kick-Snare pattern which really just gets repetitive, I get that's one of the main components of Dubstep which doesn't leave you much to play around with, but perhaps add a Ride your drum loop to spice things up a bit, but really you shouldn't worry about your drums that much all other aspects of your song make up for the drums, which is why I would still give this song a solid 5 stars. Xtrullor, keep doing what you're doing because one day you'll be a very well-known Dubstep producer!

[TheFatRat - Telescope]

Dude... I've never gotten this many chills whilst listening to song since Au5's "Snowblind". I mean wow, this really is a master piece and it deserves a lot more praise. But anyway, keep up the great work, dude. I'm really loving what I'm hearing :)

[JoarZ - Clouds (Original Mix)]

Is that *sniff* Tropical House I smell? :D
Dude I am a HUGE fan of tropical house. The laid-back melody just makes everything so "chilling" and this song is just that. I love it \(^-^)/

[Two Hundred Years Ago]

HOLY BALLS THIS IS SO GOOD
Good thing I was on today, otherwise I would've literately ever found this masterpiece. The melody is upbeat and happy which I do like. Moreover, I feel like this wold be in an RPG battle because of how fast paced and "actiony" it is. In a way it sounds like Undertale's Megolvania and because of that I would consider this a "Video Game" genre song. Overall, a very nice song, you sir have been scouted by me :)

[Dat Summer Boi]

Well done song as usual. Hopefully the full song is just as awesome if not better :)

[Strange Terrain]

That's nice, so... eerie; mysterious. I do like myself some Earthbound and this sounds like something I would definitely see in a game like that... +1 for also making a perfect loop ^-^ 6/5

Thanks man! Appreciate the feedback
