Shoutouts for Firestarter week 2: Builds!
Every week we are blown away by the quality and creative of the submissions we get, and we love listening to every single one. Here’s are the projects from the Build challenge that creatd the most tension and excitement in our hearts.

First shoutout goes to PiersM2003! We really enjoyed the rhythmic interplay between the clap and snare during this buildup. Peppering in the siren helps to build the titular “tension” as it melts into the risers and pounding bass drum. The culmination of this tension is the twisting and grinding snare which wrings out the tension and brings a nice transitional quality to this build!

Second shoutout goes to EUROPA! The palette of sounds on this build is really inviting. We love the repeated vocal sample as a pure melodic element which helps build tension. Europa created a wonderful atmosphere between the arpeggiated strings and smattering of percussion echoing throughout the build. When the drums enter, this build really feels like it’s going somewhere!

Final shoutout this week goes to ranekmusic. We loved the precise percussion work interlaced with rising sirens that build tension quickly. When the drums suddenly hasten, the build reaches it peak with a brilliant filter sweep which cuts out quickly to reveal a subtle reversed piano sample. The drum fill and vocal sample which caps the the build may be our favorite element, and certainly leaves us wanting more!
