Complete the Track Contest: Progressive House

Winner announcements!

Wow! 87 firetastic submissions.

Let’s get straight to it PETE, what’s the verdict?

Well I’ll be damned if there’s been a better arsenal of submissions in a single contest. You guys made my job of judging incredibly difficult, the level was insane!

Honorable mentions

Now, before we look at who’s taken the podium, let’s give a hand to some honorable mentions:

Hyphen sorry to break the streak bro, this judging thing ain’t easy and it’s not thanks to you lol. Your production was exceptional but the execution wasn’t there for me. Keep stirring up the great tunes man:)

Missiony damn, what a good remix. You had a great vibe going and the sound design was mint, but the production and execution were missing some zest.

Okie dokie then. Podium time!

The Podium

First place – 4xharley

Congratulations to:

  • A year of Creator
  • Europa
  • Sample pack of choice from the shop
  • Featured track
  •  

    It’s an honor to say that in first place we have: 4xharley. When somebody comes along and submits a song like this, I feel guilty that all you get as reward is a 1st place title. Then I remembered that you also get epic prizes. This song was first place in my heart before I even heard any other submissions, and it stayed that way up until now. Production? Astounding. Execution? Who needs to make a pre-drop fill anyway? Vibe? It’s a heckin’ vibe! Thanks for this masterpiece and congratulations on getting your first feature:)

     

    Second place – Aikue

    Congratulations to:

  • A year of Starter
  • Sample pack of choice from the shop
  •  

    GAAAAHHH TRIIIIPLEEEEETS!!!!! Bro, what a banger. What. A. Banger! This has to be the best of the legendary buzz songs yet, with the brilliant execution and exceptional production. The sound design was pretty sick, but those high ends hurt at parts. Overall, amazing job bro! Alrighty then. I think we all saw this coming.

     

    Third place – Hxppy

    Congratulations to:

  • Sample pack of choice from the shop
  •  
    In third place, can we give a fat shout to Hxppy – your description says it all. You knew it would impress me, and you were too right. Excellent execution and a banger vibe made it an obvious podium contender. The production quality could have been slightly cleaner, but this issue is dwarfed by the song’s positives.
     
     
    Good job folks, made me and the Soundation crew proud. This is ya boy PETE peacin’ out!

    @mluh, I agree with you completely. The ratio was just an idea if the likes and plays were considered (which they are). Do I like the popularity points idea? No, I only have like ten followers, what good does that do me? I could make a baller track and still lose. But since it's not based off the general quality of the track, I'm out. Again.

    y'all need to stop being communists about this with your ratios and maths. The best track, according to the holder of the contest, will and should win.

    Maybe the community could vote for their favorite, and that would be taken into consideration as well as plays and likes.

    @Chordial, that's a good point. Maybe there is no good solution to the like/play ordeal, it just isn't fair no matter how you set it up. Another reason I'm out.

    @OceanTide Unfortunately, the more popular the song is, the bigger the like to play gap gets, so the least popular song would win with your strategy. For example, an original, meticulously crafted masterpiece made for this contest that went trending could get 100 likes and have 1000 plays, a 1/10 play to like ratio. However, a track that mainly consisted of loops that someone spent half an hour on and got 1 like and 2 plays would have a 5/10 ratio, and would therefrore win over the masterpiece.

    Good idea, but it should probably be likes to the reviewer's 1-10 score, because if you have a bigger fanbase then you could still end up with more likes. This way it's the community's input AND the admin's input.
