Ackee39's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rage For Nothing]

The melody is nice and catchy. My fav song of yours from 2010-2014 (apart from maybe xstep). Mixing is solid, nothing exceptional but it's good enough o make a nice, catchy and nostalgic song.

DJVI responds:

Thank you! It's actually a pretty old track already but I'm still happy how it eded up sounding. Especially I'm really proud of the melody.

[Ocean (Remastered)]

Very enjoyable! This is my style of DNB, and I can really get a lot out of it! Amazing work

Irishtoner responds:

Thank You :)

I have been waiting for this for too long! And must I say, this is my new favorite song from you.

First of all, the synths in here are great. I especially like the percussion and the melody blends well with the theme. And the drop is just... wow. it progresses so well, the melody is strong and that bass ROCKS. I cannot express how much I love how the drop progresses to get better and better. And the new melody mixed with the old one gives great vibes of nostalgia and modernistic. The mixing has improved a lot and it really shows too!!

I shouldn't be surprised that you keep topping yourself every track, but yet here I am. I have been looking forward to an XStep remix ever since xStep came out (as it was my favorite song from you back then, and still one of your most iconic ones), and it was well worth the wait. easily one of my favorite songs from you (if not my favorite). Amazing work :D

DJVI responds:

Woaah thank you for the massive review. I really wanted to preserve the original sounds but still bring something new to the table and continue my melodic style. The drop was definitely the most important aspect of the track and I'm super happy you enjoyed it.

Thanks again for the support and listening to my music :)

I'd never think I'd see the say when TMM43 returns.

But here we are.

Regardless, this song is a banger. It perfectly captures your old melodies but adds a very modernistic twist and I LOVE IT!!! It's very catchy, the bass and drums never get old... I don't know how to describe it, it's like if your old style got a huge polish-up (and I mean HUUUUUUGE polish up) this would be it.

I'm so happy to hear you back, I have so many good memories of your extremely old songs; ultimate destructon and sundance were my jams back in the day, so seeing you come back with this fresh style is great!

So welcome back, TMM43, and I look forward to what you have to offer in the future :D

TMM43 responds:

Wow thank you for the amazing review! I’m glad you’ve been enjoying my music all these years. It’s the only reason I made music and will continue to.

Biggest of thanks, not only for the review but being a supporter

I know it was over a month of a wait but damn was it worth it
First, the melody has some dreamy-trance vibes, which works off the song pretty well, despite being a little inconsistent with the tempo.
The fast-paced dubstep is executed do well with the melody! Kind of reminds me of a faster cosmic growl. the second drop is very consistent and catchy, giving some really good trance-dubstep vibes!
Overall, i really liked this piece, and if the melody was more consistent and the buildups were a bit more hyped i would have been better, but 5 stars nontheless

DJVI responds:

Thaks you very much for the review. I really wanted to make this song much faster than Cosmic Growl and include even more growl :D I'm glad that you liked it!

cool chill song! bit repetitive but the melody was done well. i like it

LividChild responds:

well yeah i intended it to be a loop but i forgot to click the loop thing

[Nightmare Fuel]

Honestly, I think hardstyle music can only be good if you do it right. And, I'm going to be honest, this is one of the finest examples of hardstyle in a way that has a hardstyle vide but with a good melody and drum production. I can feel a DJVI touch that really lifts a song in a genre that I normally classify as "generic"

the melody at the beginning is great, and catches me on, and the variety of instruments and sound sequences really brings out a good energy. The only complaint I have is that I think the empty drum at the beggining time could have been more live or shorter, but that's just a nitpick in this otherwise great song.

I liked bouncing, but I love this even more. It's just such a good mix
Good work DJVI. You've pleased me once again.

DJVI responds:

Thank you very much for the review! I'm super glad that you liked this track :)

[[TMM43]Phoenix]

Where have you been?

TMM43 responds:

Busy :( But back now - will be releasing a new song soon!

[Soundnoia]

I was looking through old tracks, and my goodness. How we want from your 2015 songs to this is incredible. While most of your songs were a hit-or-miss for me, your 2019/2020 songs are an amazing hit. And this song, is so good. The melodies very but pay homage to the first one. Nothing is copyandpaste (well kind of but not that much) and how the melody was executed is very good to me. And the bass in the second drop is so good.

I love this new track, along with your other newer ones. A span of 5 years really shows how much people can improve :)

DJVI responds:

Thank you very much for the review! I will definitely continue making more awesome music for you guys! I hope to see you here again once my next track is released :)

[Dry Out 2.0]

Fixed all my problems with original. Never expected you doing this! Nice work. Now we need an xStep rebirth :)

DJVI responds:

Thank you! I'm going to make xStep remix for sure now :D
