Karco's Picks of November!

Posted by Karco - December 3rd, 2008


Well, here I am again, with more promotion to give out! The first new thing you may notice this time around is that I renamed this series of posts from Karco's Best of the Month to Karco's Picks of the Month - for many reasons, I can't say for everyone which tracks are the best, the entire point of this is to promote the best tracks of the month further, whether they made it in NG's system or not. :) This way I also don't have to worry about justifying the fact that I'm only picking Trance-related genres, as those are my forte.

Special thanks to Nav for helping me find a few of these tracks! Let's begin:

1st of November: Final Thougts (Original Mix) by BrokenCrossfader [House]
First pick of November is a strong track by a fairly unknown artist: at this time, it has a grand total of TWO reviews and 123 listens - not much at all for someone of this level. This is not only a prime example of an underdog but a skilled artist as well! This is a fresh track the likes of which haven't been known on Newgrounds before, so let's change that! Spread the word and make sure this guy gets some well-deserved attention. :)

2nd of November: Nightmare Eater--_--Goa Trance by ZENON [Trance]
While personally I'm not a big fan of Goa Trance, I can tell when a lot of effort goes into a track - this is one of those cases. A polished production all around, ZENON is a solid artist and Nightmare Eater doesn't disappoint!

3rd of November: Fuaraya by Pulstate [Trance]
Pulstate's giving us a rare freebie with this track, let's all be thankful (and what do you know? Thanksgiving was not too long ago :P)! As a producer at the professional level he naturally blows all of the other Trance artists away - sadly, several reused sounds and what sounds to me like a lack of effort - not quite 100% - dropped it a few places. Considering that he almost got it signed, though, it's still quite a strong track and worthy of its place as 3rd of November.

4th of November: Nav - Space Sequence (Remix) by Nav [Trance] I helped Nav a lot with this track, as you can read by the description (you'd only have to read the beginning to tell, though you can read it all if you choose!), and massive effort went into it throughout production! It ended up as a track that, while not quite as polished as it could have been, was quite melodically entertaining and structurally satisfying. Still, it was a significant jump for Nav, big enough that he made it up here. :)

nice.... yeah it's pretty lame how so many awesome songs (I'm sure there's more than this) tend to go unnoticed...

It is. :( The more people that know and visit, the more powerful this Picks of the Month series gets, so at least let a few people know!

Lol hi! I know this is random, but im bored, i need to spam news blogs with worthless talk like this. How are you? Is this random? Lets find out. *ges on google and ssearches random, only to find Typhlanar as a definition.* Yep, this is random, just like my music! I think you like music, i see uve submitted msuic too. Could you listen to mine? ill listen to urs. great, its settled then. I am music, and you are music.

Sorry, i had to do that. Lol...

But really, check out my music, u'll like Ignition and Lunar Harvest, but check out my newest ones too for some great (imo) songs.

Dj-Typhlanar

Eh? If I remember I'll give it a listen I guess.

Wait a minute, why isn't it up to date >: l

It's up to date...?

Sweet! :)

(lol, you forgot to mention that I discovered that BrokenCrossfader guy XD, not a serious problem though. Nice picks/descriptions)

"Special thanks to Nav for helping me find a few of these tracks!"

Right below the first paragraph, did you miss that? :P

Cool a new artist.

Thank Nav. :D

IRRELEVANT POST!

>:(

Shiny. <3 Was pretty impressed by the goa & prog house-- didn't expect to hear quality works of either genre on NG. Guess I shouldn't underestimate it, eh?

It's rare, but it does happen here. :D If talents like Pulstate are willing to submit here every so often, who knows who else is out there but undiscovered?

Thanks for the support. :D

Zither

Eh?

I discovered this guy

<a href="http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/193251">http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/liste n/193251</a>

I FOUND HIM BEFORE ENVY.

Can't listen now, will listen and edit this response later.

EDIT: Sounds nice. :D Could be all-around better, especially in mixing, but this guy certainly knows what he's doing.

By the way, I found zirconmusic on your page, awesome stuff. :O You really should recommend all these artists that you/we find to the Underdog list.

Update please >: l

Finished a track except for the melody, will upload it and post it in a news post when I add a melody.

Ho really?

No joke.

Did you hear Blake Jarrell - Punta del Este (Beach Mix)??

If you like Daniel Kandi, and Above & Beyond's style, you'll probably like this track

For me, it's one of the best tracks I've heard this year

(Orjan Nilsen feat Tarah - Be As One) is also one of those '2008 best tracks'

Thanks, will definitely give those a listen. :D

tell me what you think of those songs when you listen them

Thanks for the reminder!

A few Nexus presets in the first track, I think I've heard it once. Sounds ok. :) I'm not usually much for typical "beach-style" tracks though.

Second track I've also heard before, I especially recognize the guitar melody. I like it as well but for me it's not a track of the year.
