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.

Surrealism Remix Competition
Alrighty my guys! The winners are announced! Gotta say, even tho there were only 5 submissions, this was extremely difficult to judge. 3rd Place: OFT. Gotta say man, this track put a great spin on SURREALISM. The DnB drums and the slightly ambient intro really sold it. Tbh it made me think of a track by WRLD (a monstercat artist btw). The only critique I would make is that I wish -and my headphones broke recently so maybe my speakers just suck ;-;- the drop was a little bit less distorted. Amazing job man! 2nd place: Hyphen. Bro... I'm terrible at genres, but whatever that genre was, it was amazing! Totally something I would bash my head to. Really added to the intensity of SURREALISM. I would have personally made the lead in the 2nd half of the drop slightly more ambient, but again, it did really increase the headbanger/intense quality. GJ! And finally, our winner is...... 4xHarley!!! Man, seriously, this track blew my mind. I would have never thought someone would make a cinematic remix. It was absolutely amazing, You completely transformed the track while still keeping the original elements like the melodies and chords. Amazing job man! As for Missiony and Lettasu, y'all also did an amazing job, but here are some critiques I would give. Lettasu, your track gave me sort of an Au5 vibe, which was aboslutely amazing, but I would say that it should have been slightly less distorted. Maybe some added reverb and more ear candy. Missiony, your track was definately ambient, and had more of an EDMish feel to it for sure, but it didn't really expand on the track as I would have liked it to. All in all you both still did a great job. Alrighty, that's all folks! Congrats to all of the winners! You all did an amazing job! I will be contacting y'all within the next week about prizes. I am in the middle of moving back into my house that me and my family have been out of for 6 months, so this weekend will be a little too busy for me to distribute everything, but I give you my word, I will get the prizes out. Pls have mercy :) And for those of you who did not submit a remix, feel free to still download the sng! Do what you will, just be sure to give credit. Thank you to all the participants! I'll see you guys around! have an amazing day! SNG: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IQfQrDxtve-lCpj2ymYqGNsyTqRVNJV-/view?usp=sharing
