VGM Contest

Announcing the Winners! After an intense round of judging, we have our top tracks! 🥇 First Place - "Sirens Call" by reptilian (81 Points) A beautifully arranged piece with an incredible blend of elements and sound selection. The GameBoy-style pulse sound gives it a classic VGM feel, and the escalation riff is masterfully done. The subtle samplerate reduction adds a polished touch that makes this track feel like a true boss battle theme. Brings me straight back into the boss fights from Cyberpunk, but would fit into nearly any game 🥈 Second Place - "Void Space" by DUTCH (80 Points) This track is a complete and coherent composition with a super smooth mix. The balance of variation and structure makes it feel game-ready. It's clear that DUTCHY, the legend, has a strong grasp of VGM production, delivering a track that sounds like it could be shipped straight into a game, and teleports me straight to the late 90s snowboard cross games. 🥉 Third Place - A Three-Way Tie! (76 Points Each) "FOUL" by ithoundrist - A thumping, bass-driven track with an intricate drum rhythm and excellent sound design. It gives off strong Japanese game vibes and has a powerful atmosphere. "Fallen Worlds" by reptilian - A track full of exaggerated bitcrushing effects, creating a "modern platformer" sound. Bonus points for keeping the Amen break alive! Wisp Planet Act 1 (DNB Remix)" by Polaris - A solid remix flexing impressive sound design. While it's a cover, it still absolutely nails the competition's theme. Prizes First Place: Featured spot on the Soundation homepage, 12 months of Creator account, 12 months of Europa Synth Second Place: Featured spot on the soundation homepage, 1 month of Creator account, 1 month of Europa Synth Third Place: Featured spot on the Electronic group page, Featured spot on the VGM group page, 1 month of Europa Synth Honorable Mentions: Selected tracks may be reposted on SoundCloud or featured in the VGM group. Thanks to Everyone Who Entered! We were blown away by the level of talent in this contest. Thank you to all the producers who participated—your creativity and passion for video game music truly shined. Stay tuned for future contests, and keep making amazing music!

It's time again! Hey all, hope you have been enjoying the Summer so far (or at least those of you in the Northern Hemisphere anyway!) It’s time for Soundation to have a go at a genre-based challenge! This time, we have taken inspiration from some of the biggest tunes released this summer, as well as a popular timeless genre, and let you all loose on trying to create some incredible tracks off of it. Garage house is a huge genre, so it is worth highlighting the key information about it: Garage House - Developed in the late 80s/early 90s NYC at Larry Levan's Paradise Garage and associated clubs in New Jersey. Typified by big soulful vocals, disco sampling, and re-creation, percussive elements, deep sounding, maybe some gospel influences too e.g. Byron Stingily - Get Up Everybody Blaze - So Special Masters At Work Feat. Xaviera Gold - Gonna Get Back To You UK Garage - Developed in the UK in the mid to late 1990s and into the early 2000s. It has a direct connection to Garage House thanks to the likes of Todd Edwards (who you should know through his work with Daft Punk). See "Sample Choir". These chopped-up drum patterns were picked up by UK producers and blended with contemporary R&B sounds and bass rhythms present in rave, jungle, and drum&bass that were popular at the time to create a unique club sound E.g. K.C. and Zed Bias - Let Me Know Strickly Dubz - Realise Wookie - Battle feat Lain - Original Mix Future Garage - emerged out of the ashes of dubstep in the late 2000s based on the sound of UK Garage and incorporates aspects of deep house, dubstep, and other interim house and electronic soul genres. This is the basic genre of the songs you've put up. These are the songs that got me hooked on it at the time, but I find that I am a bit disconnected with what's happening now: Zed Bias - Neighbourhood (Roska Remix) Joy Orbison - Hyph Mngo Sully - Track Side Rules We have some rules for the contest: Make sure you keep the final production of your song to Soundation! Try to be original, don’t steal from other songs… Only post contest songs into this group Judging criteria For this competition, we are asking you to produce your very own song! You can go for any subgenre of Garage house, 90’s house, or even another genre of your choosing! It will be judged on a number of criteria: Creativity Summer theme The quality of the dance music/danceability Mixing and Mastering Extra help In order to help with submissions, we have 2 huge aids. Firstly, Blezz has managed to put out a video on producing music for this exact genre, and is well worth a watch! All of these tips he gives out are relevant to the Soundation studio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjFWBcbXRmI Second of all, we have an attached .sng file with several instruments that are a staple part of many House and Garage songs – feel free to use these as a starter for your songs if you need a hand!   Prizes In terms of prizes, we have some huge rewards! First place earns a spot on the featured tracks, as well as getting a full 12 months of Creator account, and a sample pack from the sound shop of their choosing. Second place earns a feature on the #house and techno group, as well as getting a month of Creator, a sample pack from the sound shop of their choosing. Third place will earn a feature on the #Drum and Bass group, a sample pack from the sound shop of their choosing. Any other tracks have a good chance to be featured at least once in the #house and techno group and may be reposted on Soundcloud.     Good Luck! - theoftus If you are looking for recommendations, it is worth checking out stuff like this: Carl Cox Epic House Set From DJ Mag HQ Ibiza Submissions close on the 2nd of September so you have some time to hone your creations.

DNB Contest

Drum and Bass Soundation contest Announcement! It may have been a long time since Soundation last ran a contest like this, but the entries were more impressive than ever! We were blown away by the quality of the submissions, and as a result it gave us some large thinking to do. However, we both agreed that a entry relatively late in the day was able to take the win in our view! Congratulations SLOCM3Z on taking the overall win! In our view, “The Thug” is a top tier track, and we couldn’t believe it when we heard it – meaning it is fully deserving of not only the top spot, but also to be featured for all to see! We felt that the sampling used was brilliant, alongside incredible sound design and typical drum and bass grit. You were able to push the studio so far during the production, and we hope the prize of Creator acount, and a 12 month pass for Europa will allow you to continue expanding and improving too! In a very close second, we have Aikue. “You Had Gone” is a brilliant example of liquid dnb of the type we would be used to hearing from some of the industries finest. Like with SLOCM3Z, you had just about the perfect sample for the track, and the instrumentation is not only perfectly used but also demonstrates the sort of sounds we all love to hear. We will all be able to listen more on the #Drum and Bass genre group, of which your track will be featured in, alongside the other prizes listed. In our final spot in the top 3, we have “Emails” by ENTERORRHAGIA. This harked back to some oldschool drum and bass which was a very cool throwback and almost perfectly done. The chopped drums and the punchy bass conspired to make this a super groovy pick for us, and was defo on repeat for some time.  However, we had to say the standards were sky high for this contest, and as the top 3 was such a hard list to pick, we have a number of honorable mentions we wished to shoutout too.  False + Unclassic - Bass N Drum - Great experimental textures, and unbelievably good sample used. Top notch sound design too.Sam the Giant – Godspeed – Lovely vibe, very smooth and creative, could have listened to this for hours. Great groove. B4S5RE4P3R - Crumb and Bass - Great atmospheric drum and bass, wubs and overall soundscape. Banger!Volk – Safe house – Echoy vibey song adding dubstep influence into the studio, reminding us of the father of the Wub machine... great tension building and swing. Theman17 – hyper – Phat sawstacks encompased this well produced arping groovebox of a song. Not heard any songs by this user before, but they are definatly one to keep an eye on for future!For everyone else, just because your song is not on this list does not mean we didn't really enjoy listening to it! These will be on repeat for some time. If you want any feedback, don't hesitate to message OFT for it. Thank you all for sharing your work. For now, check out the drum and bass genre group to see the new tracks, and keep your eyes and ears peeled for new Soundation contests coming soon! ⚡️  - OFT and BLEZZ 2022
