It was incredibly hard to pick a winner, but I had to choose Kryptic's remix at the end of the day. Outstanding synth work and a really well built overall track made this a winner. There were very few things to take away from a perfect score. I felt the drop was a tad messy at times, but it didn't really take away from the overall track. Great work!

I loved this remix. I liked how the original stems were taken in a completely different direction. The vocoder work was fantastic and the entire track was very well built, with tasteful guitar riffs and inspiring synth work. I liked the synth work, but I felt that maybe there could have been a bit more variation.

I absolutely loved the opening section at the one minute mark. Perfect synth work, a balanced beat, and fantastic arrangement. What took away from this track was the arrangement in the second half. I felt that while the drop was good, it could have been a bit better executed, as there was overcompression and a bit of messiness. The overall track feel was good.

I was happy with the fact that a large tempo change was done really well, and I enjoyed this. I just felt like the overall track was very quiet on the high end, almost like it was lowpassed at the master output; that took away from the track a bit. Regardless, I enjoyed listening to it!
