[unlit dancefloor]

Well, admittedly this isn't anything at all like I had in mind, but it's still really cool. It's a bit too atmospheric for dance music imo, and I wouldn't call that glitchy beat danceable, exactly. Repetitive 4/4 beats usually characterize traditional techno/house. But that's not really important in the grand scheme of things. It's very catchy and trance-ish - in ways it reminds me a lot of "Inside the Machine." I love those eerie harmonies at 1:25, and it does have a certain alien aesthetic to it. The ending was cool, and I like the title a lot too. It's a very interesting and cool piece, and thank you for accepting this challenge. Now I'm willing to return the favor. Is there a challenge you have for me? :D

I actually issue a lot of challenges to other people, so it's always fun when people turn the tables on me :D Though I won't consider your challenge to me fulfilled until I actually submit something in the dance genre ;P 4/4 beats coming up...eventually...

It's quite coincidental that you asked me for a challenge considering that I gave you one in my review! I'd also say you could try writing music faster - aim for a turnaround of a couple of days. I've already told you about that though :)

Thanks for the review!

I like the harmonies and atmosphere. The chords were a little harsh, though, especially at the beginning, and that melody at :16 was a little too loud imo. I like it a lot overall, though. It's upbeat and fun and catchy and melodic. You definitely have the beginning of a solid structure here, and it progresses pretty quickly as far as house goes. While it's not a very conclusive ending, it's not so sudden as to be disorienting. Good work in general. I'm looking forward to hearing the full version. ;D

Wow, I'm glad you're back, Blackjack213! :D I love the instruments and mood and atmosphere. It's very relaxing and blissful. I liked the structure and harmonies, as well as the way you transitioned into 1:55. A couple of the effects (1:05, for example) seemed a bit extraneous, but also added a lot of variety, which is good. Also, the ending was a little sudden and bland. It could potentially make a good loop, though. You have certainly improved, but you were always good! Keep at it, man! ;D
