[[Fiji] Again and Again]

Epic Stylez

Epic mix of new and old styles. The instrumental is out of this world as usual. Freaking huge sounds you are making now. This is really inspiring me to work on that remix. I love where your style is at and im sure it wont stop getting better and better along the next couple of months. So good luck to ya

[Placebos (8-bit)]

Takes Skills

I'm not usualy a fan of 8-bit... but this is just amazing. You've got a great progression here :3 things never stay the same for too long. And the melodies seem like they're taken right out of a retro game... except better. You know what i mean? ;D Dude you gotz skills. Il be sure to keep posted!

[Wild Berry (Dj Sonik)]

You've made a fan out of me.

Nice to see Newgrounds still has some real talent. You got a great style made! I love your basswork and your percs are spot on. the only thing i have to complain about is that your build seems a bit confusing. You should learn to do some clearer drop using low volume advanced percs. Try experimenting with that reverb too. Anyway thats some cool shit you got. Keep up the good work man!

DreamEater responds:

wah!? Simon Cameron likes my stuff?? holy shittt! Dude thanks so much for the review! I lovedddd Sift, and have been an avid listener since Mr. Fiji dropped it. You've got some real talent yourself there buddy :p...

But I digress...

I completely agree with you about this song bro. The build is kinda confusing, and there were a few other elements that I would have loved to do a bit differently. However like I said in the description; I couldn't quite change it after hearing it over and again so many times. Despite all that,
I'm really glad you enjoyed it though! :D

Thanks again bro for the review, and mad confidence boost; maybe we can throw something of our own together one day? who knows? :p

[Re-Collect - Venus]

Great track!

Really like your build and your melodies on this one! Percs are clean as hell as always! Really starting to sound pro dude!! Keep that great work up. maybe yous should try adding some strings to this a bit!

pichuscute0 responds:

Thanks man. :D Im glad you like it. And I dont have any decent strings xP I need to go find a good orchestral VST or somethin

[DF - Supernova(Timmy Remix)]

THE LEGEND

Lives one. This is freaking epic as hell from start to finish! I honestly have no idea why you think I'm so good but i can tell you this is gods work. Love how you manipulate that pad to sound like a lead (or vice versa?). I love your percs as always. I wish i could do percs like you do. Is that mostly Z3ta you use for your leads? Cause if it is im totaly Ditching Sylenth 1 lol. Its not the best mastering but its close. I would try and brighten your highs allot more. That always helps for me. But anyway Please just keep up the inspiring work. Cause you're the one who inspired me to do House in the first place :3.

D-Chain responds:

well actually i use zeta.. but not like.. allot. i mostly use zeta for the chords of live sound
in a combi with an adjusted Vanguard sound:3
but what i was going to say is, this one does NOT include zeta as far as i can remember.

The leads in this one def are from nexus my friend.
the bass is 3xOSC + nexus aswell.
and sylenth 1.. well i have the plugin but i never work with it =,=
need to do it aswell seems.

anyhow, thanks for your time Simon!
ill be sure to check you out every possible day i can :3

[Mario Kart 64 -- Title (Remix)]

I'm entertained

This is just... well... Perfect i have to say. Your "chill as a Penguin" Style fits this remix so well. It sounds proffessional. The drums are well chosen, Could be a bit louder but i guess they still soumd right. I would love to know how you come up with all the little detail work in your songs. Please keep it up and keep me posted on your releases :D I just love this! Well done

Birdinator99 responds:

As embarrassing as it is to admit, I did look at a MIDI file to help me out with some of the chords, and while I was looking, I checked out some of the other instruments being used. Stuff like that can give me ideas, but mostly my creativity shines in the drums department (in my humble opinion).

The drum volume problem probably comes from my EQ/compressor experimentation, sure to be improved upon in the future. I was pretty satisfied with the kit when I found it, though.

I don't know about professional, but chill as a penguin? Could it be...

...Chill Penguin?!?!?!

Ah, never mind, I'd be surprised if you knew who that was lol

Thanks for the review!

[Sift - Fiji + Alias Pharow]

OHHHH damn!

Did an epic job Remastering this man! :D It's been a freaking pleasure and this will certainly not be the last of our collaborations together... we should probably just try to make it take less time next time. lol again.... it ended up EPIIIC

MrFijiWiji responds:

lol yes. sorry for the huge delay. was waiting on tc, but hes been really busy and i think chained expression will be on hold for a year or two.

[[Fiji] Buzzsaw - instrmntl mix]

EPPIIIC

Sell this NAOW xD. Epic Percs, Mixing, Instrumentation... Flawless. Loved the breakdown

MrFijiWiji responds:

and i love uuuu

[TimmY - Another Day(W!P)]

Ohhh legendary D-Chain

This is what im Talking about. Bold producing. Surprisingly clean sound for having so much working at the same time. I've always been a huge fan of your percussion work because its so freakin pro. To think you're giving this away for free and the score is so freaking low. Thus why i hate Newgrounds

D-Chain responds:

i must thank you for this surpising review :)
thanks for your time man!

[BAZ- High Upon A Shooting]

Nice track with a style that is right at home

Although I am not a huge fan of this kind of bouncy dance music, I can tell you that it is very well done and i can appreciate the effort you put in to the mastering and the melody work.

One thing i definitly would change is that odd snare. It has the weirdest sound and it kind of threw me off from the song. I would also try making a more complicated bassline and maybe even a secondary sub because the bass is pretty empty most of the time. Another thing i noticed is that your transitions are a bit awkward, like when you whent from hardcore to dnb for the first time, i think you could of automated some cutoff to make the transition allot smoother.

But besides thoes few points, this was a very good track and i hope you keep up the good work!

BAZmotherfucker responds:

Thanks! I always have the hardest time with the snare, I really just need to find better individual drum samples instead of always trying to make my own.
