I think the beginning to this track is alright. It's slow, maybe a bit too slow for a race atmosphere, and the ending isn't anywhere the length of the beginning to compensate, but I don't think that it's bad, it builds the tension up nicely. The melody later on is fun, I like the chords. I also like the progression. I think that around 2:24 something could be done with the mix, as the main melody clashes with the really fast notes in the background that I don't know how to call. The transition to the slow section could be done a bit better, maybe some tweaks to the reverb would help, but I definitely get the atmosphere I think you were going for. And the comeback to the main melody is also nice. Overall while I wouldn't say I like it, it is definitely neat. There are things I like about this one, but it might not just be my genre. There's definitely more of a racing vibe here than a chill one, but I still can get hints of the latter especially near the middle

Jesus fuck stick with ur artist name 😭

As always you never fail to impress me.
Really love the porta lead.

Production: 9/10
Theme: 8/10

you will do anything but name yourself your artist name

Carbo being a master in making weird sounding leads work :D

i dont have that many hardcore songs listened to tho this feels alright...it is flow-y is has that speed to it even tho i personally dont feel like for racing themes pure BPM speed is enough to actually convey the feeling and pacing of a race game, but this is purely personal preference and if i were to ignore this it was bonkers racing to it. One thing that would make it maybe more enjoyable in some arcade-ish racing games is having the distorted bass more prevalent and have that pumping be just a little more powerful, but i guess thats just nitpick.

Aside from all that its a cool track...both of you nice job.
