Calum Hood
@Anthrazite, you've got until 10th August to get something sorted
Calum Hood
@Visualz, yeah I see what you mean when I've relistened to both tracks. @SHUR1KEN I wouldn't do happy hardcore its a bit too fast I think. I'd recommend staying between 128-140bpm. And @Elizalde you can collab if you want, but you would have to split the prize if you won.

I just finished my latest melbourne bounce track today! https://soundcloud.com/anthrazite/anthrazite-shards-1 Now I just need to figure out a way to transfer some €€€ to my Paypal account so I can upgrade my Soundation account. It's not possible at the moment :(

Happy hardcore is literally the best genre name ever XD
Visualz
This sounds cool. And, @Calum Hood, @Shur1ken, Stonebank - The Pressure isn't hardstyle, it's happy hardcore. This is hardstyle https://soundcloud.com/monstercat/atmozfears-state-of-mind

Are collabs allowed by the way?

I bet the only reason this contest is happening is cause Cal has no inspiration for an original track, so he wants to collab with someone whose really good (the winner) to help him out ;) Just kidding haha! I might give this a shot, depends if I get the time or not! We'll see :)
pryzm
I'll give this a shot ;)

Alright! I've got one of my best then! :)

@Echostorm any of those tracks you mentioned would be fine! And @Cosmic Candy, my first thoughts would be to avoid it because unless they're your own original vocals you would lose something on originality. I'll speak to audial and let you know about whether or not using acapellas would be penalised in judging.
