I've been waiting patiently to see what everyone in our bracket brings forward, I'm happy to finally hear your track Diossel. Very gentle, very atmospheric dnb. Lush pads and strings. Those sensitive little keyboard melodies are essential. I love that you chose a fractured snare pattern for the rhythm instead of those big jump up two-step patterns common in the scene.
I'm also glad you wrote a little bit about your time getting into music on newgrounds, a lot of us older users share similar origins. I remember collaborating with Fox Stevenson here when he was 12. Emperor was here for a minute under the alias "Parathile." Spacelaces had an account here. I hope one day I'll be able to say "I lost to Diossel in the NGADM and now he's BIG." I won't have to wait long to know if I get to say that, but I really do love watching people grow. Regardless of what the future holds for us, I'm rooting for you D. Good luck and let's hope the judges know good music when they hear it :D
