Great sounds - the bass is kinda buried though in the mix.  Also, very infectious melody!

The background chords working against each other on the two sides is way cool.

The filter automation/LFO at this particular moment sounds a lot like speech all of a sudden.  This sound was a nice layer in earlier sections but I really like it as the lead element!  Refreshing that it's so low and chordal and friendly.

This is the climax I feel like I was needing back at 3:45 after that big draw-down + build-up =P

Great drums! The sound design is also very good. And I really like the melody a lot.

Great sounds and variations, clear mix, top notch!

Great track and great collaboration! Very nice percussion elements!

The drums are excellent as others have noted. Very cohesive and strong track altogether.

I feel like the perc on the left is a bit loud here- it's the only trebley melodic thing my mind is picking up on so I want it to move a little more if it's that prominent

Raindrops Keep Falling On My Tin Foil Hat (disquiet0581)

Yo fam, 
 
We are less than 3 weeks away from going into full
BEAST mode with the FlavorWave movement. 
 
Here are a few things to know... 

The Mission:
 
We're standing our ground and rebelling against 
the trashy, recycled sound epidemic by creating 
the HOTTEST new genre.
 
Then we're gonna give it away to light up the producer 
community and inspire a new wave of music messiahs.

FlavorWave a.k.a. the hyperbolic prophecy (”SaviourWave”)
is now in full effect and we are already crushing it!

Yup, you heard it right – we're dropping this for FREE
right in your lap, no strings attached. 

So we can create the most revolutionary music genre
and give it away to the producer community.
 
This will help you break free from the chains of recycled 
styles and step into the realm of sonic excellence. 

*We can only give it away if we reach our goal*

The Goal: 
 
Our goal is to raise at least 5 points minimum per voter to 
invest in more tools so we can create the most epic genre ever!
 
All points will go into the making of this genre
so we can create a MONSTER like Dr. Funkenstein. 
 
With your support, we'll reignite the FIRE in the
One Synth Challenge and raise the bar like a bodybuilder.

Stretch Goal:
 
If you help us double our goal and vote 10 points...
(by creating a fake KVR account, posting 40 times and then voting 5 pts again)
 
We'll unleash the Black Bucket POPS Edition with one more 
preset for you and all other supporters.
 
*Black POPS will only be available for this campaign*

Rewards: 
 
The more you give, the more you get back.
 
You want super exclusive expansions of your mind?
 
You can choose from a variety of styles that 
grant you exclusive access to rare harmonies.
 
No one else will have access to them but you
and our community of rebels.

Let the FlavorWave begin! 
 
At 12 midnight PST August 16th... 
 
You'll be able to claim your badge in the ranks 
of FlavorWave soldiers pushing a rebellion in sound.
 
Get ready to join the FlavorWave Revolution!

Together, we'll obliterate the mundane, redefine the game,
and make music history!
 
Keep your eyes on the lookout for the results
at 12 midnight PST August 16th.
 
Let's goooooooo fam!
 
Peace and love,
GrizzlyBjörn (Fool Bucket)
Hashish Uganja, Germany

Wow, almost no EQ. 

I discovered AuroraFM this month, thanks to Elvicente. I love it. Really underrated synth. FYI I made 9 tracks just with it this month. in those 9 tracks some sounds are dx7 patches I found online, some factory, some Elivicente, some tweaked, some mine. Maybe some dexed patches but I doubt it... I don't recall exactly for each track. This track was entered based on the discord consensus from 5 I posted there. 

Critical feedback very much appreciated. 

Hidden Oasis OSC 179 (AuroraFM) 21/57 37%

Just a fun and colorful techno track partly inspired by artists such as YMO and Rei Harakami. Contains a mix of self-made and modified factory sounds.

This was made in Bitwig 5.1.2. It contains the following:

20x Opsix Native 
3x NoiseAsh Need 533 EQ
2x Stock EQ+
1x Stock Peak Limiter
1x Audiority Polaris (for slight reverb of the EPiano)
4x Stock Arpeggiators (for some drum sounds)

The picture was taken by me at a craft fair. Those stained glass bike gears were so cool!
