Love the cuica! Plucked is a classic, such luxury having a little polyphony in there. Great work with the solo on here too.

**bows to thee plucked synth** that combined with the kick and cuica gets your foot tappin along in sync.  Excellent solo! \m/

Somehow this reminded me of the Commodore 64 game [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvsbaT6mLZY]Lightforce[/ur] and its iconic soundtrack that made a big impression on me as a kid.

Strong vibes of urgency.

M8 plucks are a fav of mine too! These sound great. And overall I love the sound design in this one. Everything fits nicely. Catchy tune!

I guess I'll just have to make up my own lore for this one.  It sounds like every February 2nd at precisely 12:01 AM, the Groundhogs all gather at the sacred meeting place in preparation for their big day and have a party where they dance around and whoop it up for several hours before performing a ritual sacrifice to Frostfurr, their Goddess of Winter.

Oh yes. The plucks and that hoot sample set out such a vibe instantly. Awesome stuff.

The cuica sounds so good here! Like "Herding Mythical Mountain Cattle," this one has a very jammy vibe, both in the easy groove and all the melody-passing. And the instrument transitions are so fluid that I'm still getting lost trying to trace them. One of your better mixes, too. A fav

That is an epic track! This slappy string sound is awesome. The woof woof sample is magic and somehow works perfectly. And then you take us on a journey through different digital landscapes. I loved that!

CUICA!!!!!!!
Also rain stick?

Super fun. It always delights me when someone pulls those modular classics from the macrosynth on thr m8. This had some really wonderful weaving melodies, very fun, and CUICA IS EVERYTHING.

Love this track (even without the lore).  The arrangement is so good, great transitions, and the little stereo ping pong delayed "woop" set such a great tone, and was a perfect choice for a grounding connective element.  Really killin' it this year my dude.

Nice job integrating the cuica in something that is not samba haha.

I'll make up some lore to fill the void:
The crew of the Jade Leviathan is climbing out of the wreckage of their spacecraft, which has just made a violent crashlanding into the jungles of Orvexa Prime. The survivors gather materials and prepare to head into the jungle to set up camp. Strange sounds echo between the trees. Will they survive the night and be able to send out a distress signal to the galactic federation? Will they meet a premature demise end at the hands of the local fauna? Or is it something friendly, keeping a watchful eye on the new arrivals from between the undergrowth?

Somehow reminds me of International Karate. This would fit well, I guess. A bit of action, but not attention stealing so you can still focus on the game.
