Uplifting, yet somehow carries a tinge of nostalgia, but remains a banger throughout... just absolutely AWESOME!

I heard this on the stream but didn’t see the title - but when I was listening I kept thinking, I want to eat a ton of sugar and run around the playground like an idiot (really!). And then to find out the title is Sugar Rush…you nailed it.

Absolutely love this track, it’s candy coated joy. Gives me hope, and I need all I can get. Favorited.

Lovely sound design. The synths are cool as heck and the track is truely head-waving with a nice break in the middle. Congrats !!

Very nice and uplifting, reminds me of music by malmen. I love that lead sound.
At 1:45 there is one note out of key but maybe that is intentional

i sure hope the arpeggio is arpeggioing otherwise i might have critically failed. thanks for commenting!

thanks so much! i love the new OTT master effect on the m8. elevates the highs a bit and just makes it that tiny bit more crunchy

happy hardcore without punch would just be happy music but we need the hardcore too

thanks so much! upbeat melody + chipsounds = always good

thanks so much! this type of music holds a very special place in my heart. its what ive been listening in my teenage years nonstop so i certainly link it to nostalgia quite a bit

thanks for the kind words! love how we had the exact same thoughts. running around after eating too much sugar, then the tired aftermath kicks in but you remember there is still some redbull in your backpack. so you chuck that and back to running haha

that means a lot thanks! there is no bigger compliment than a persons head moving to its beat.

thanks for the comment! i wonder which note you are referring to because at least on paper it is all in key and harmonized as intended. maybe the pitch bend could have happened a bit faster because a lot of the expressiveness in the melody works by playing a semitone / sometimes 2 depending on context lower and then pitching up to the correct pitch within the next 8 ticks to give it that legato / slidey feel

Yes it may have been the pitch bend! Anyways keep up the good work!

Yes it may have been the pitch bend! :) Anyways keep up the good work!

i went in again and changed it from a -1 semitone up pitch to a -2 and made the pitchbend happen slightly faster which makes the note its landing on a bit move obvious. imo with this change it sounds better so you were absolutely right. thanks for bringing it up!

As a Dutchie, always in for a Happy Hardcore banger! Neat work!

Before I could check who the artist was, I assumed malmen sent in a track for WeeklyBeats. That lead sound is sound is spot on.

thanks so much! it took quite a while to make everything sit properly in the mix especially with how limited phase control the m8 has and because i limited myself to pretty much just pulse + triangle for most things

Thanks so much! I honestly never heard of malmen by now (i live under a rock probably) but just checked some stuff out and this their music is incredible. thanks so much for the shoutout, time to dive through their music!

This is great. It sounds like biscoff biscuits taste. Also this is definitely the shit Sonic the Hedgehog raves to once he's saved all the little bunnies.

Haha not sure how you'd improve the mix on this. I love it, as is!

I think he's referring to that little grace note. Technically out of key, but as a passing tone I think it was a great choice!

I really like the breakdown and build you got going from 1:30. Great stuff. You really utilized the pitch in a good way. Fun track!

I pressed "Play" and immediately saw colorful scrolling text from an Amiga game cracktro. Simply excellent chiptune vibes, and a lot of variety to boot. The breakdown is very tasteful. The dynamic range is fantastic. The sound is hifi but never goes far from chiptune territory thanks to that archetypal lead.

No notes, five stars.
