DJVI Challenges are back! This is my 33rd birthday special for you guys. My first challenge level was released over a decade ago (in June 2014) and now the fourth challenge is here. Can you finish the level?

The DJVI Challenge 4 Geometry Dash level ID is: 122126545

The song used in the level is DJVI - Donk Donk. The song was released in 2024.

Axiom continues the electro house style you can hear on my track Paradox. In fact, Axiom and Paradox were both born from the same idea and evolved into two different songs. This means that Axiom has been sitting on my hard drive for years and now I was finally able to finish it! 

For a long time I didn’t like the song that much, which is why it sat on my pc untouched and half finished for that long. However, everything finally clicked when I recently added the lead guitar synth you can hear especially on the intro and on the second drop. It gave the song the characteristic sound that I was looking for. After that the song was finished super quickly and here we are. 

The song id for Geometry Dash is: 1439959

The original version of Frozen Dreams was released in 2014. I’ve always enjoyed the melancholy you can hear on the track. However, I never planned to make Frozen Dreams 2. When I began to produce this track, I accidentally made a similar melody and rhythm that reminded me of the original Frozen Dreams.

Check out Frozen Dreams 2 now on Newgrounds as well. The song id for Geometry Dash is: 1424315

Finally our world has an official gaming anthem song and I’m sure you all can relate to it, hehe.

This track was super fun to make and it was refreshing to work with vocals. First, I wrote down some simple lyrics for the vocals and I used a vocal synthesizer to create them. Then I came up with the idea of making gaming inspired vocals with a parody style twist on them. And finally, I got a real singer to sing the vocals for me to get an authentic sound!

Check out the track now on Newgrounds. The song id for Geometry Dash is: 1405310

Did you have a chance to check out Back on Dash already? Back on Dash is a new version of Back on Track that is also my first song released in NoCopyrightSounds! It's also featured in Geometry Dash as a event level.

It was really nice to make this new version of the song for NCS and Geometry Dash after 11 years. Here's the full story how the original song was created:

The origin of Back on Track

Back in the 2000’s I really enjoyed listening to the techno music that you could find on YouTube. You know, all those videos made with Windows Movie Maker with colorful & futuristic backgrounds and uplifting techno music. I wanted to create similar music so I started to produce music of my own in late 2008. Back then I mostly made melodic techno & house style music and I did that for a couple of years. In 2012 I also began to experiment with other edm genres, such as dubstep, and during that year I released many bass songs. 

In early 2013 one of my long-time listeners asked me on YouTube if I could make another melodic techno song. Something similar to the music I had made in the 2010-2011 era. He was referring to songs like Active, Lazy Weekend, Rage For Nothing and Base After Base that I had released back then. I can’t remember exactly how I responded to him, but I told him that maybe I could try to make something like that again.

I started to produce a new song and I had a clear goal in my mind. I wanted to make a melodic song that is simple, catchy and uplifting. I wanted to capture the same feeling we had when the times were simpler and we could just go home from school, start up our favorite video game and start to listen to some cool music while playing. Songs like Boten Anna by Basshunter or Sandstorm by Darude were big sources of inspiration for me in those times.

The production of the song started smoothly and the song was finished in a very short amount of time. Usually this is actually a good sign, because I’ve noticed that the longer I produce a song, the worse it starts to sound. This is because when you hear the same synths too many times, it becomes harder to tell which actually sounds good and which bad.

When the song was finished, I knew it was pretty good and I wanted to release it as soon as possible. All that was left was to figure out a good name for it. Since the inspiration for the song came from the good old times, Back on Track was a perfect name for it. It rhymes nicely and it reminds us about our childhood.

I was eager to release the song and when I finally did it…nothing happened. You see, back then I only had like 1000 followers so I only got a few hundred views, maybe a thousand within the first couple of weeks of releasing the song. The song was quickly forgotten and as usual, I moved on to produce more new music.

A couple of months later a new opportunity arose. A small video game developer was searching for music for his new game. I had sent my music to game developers before, so I thought this would be another good opportunity for me to get my songs heard. This game developer was RobTop and Back on Track was one of the songs that got selected to be featured in his new little game, Geometry Dash.

I was happy to get featured in the game, although I really didn't have any expectations, because most of the games won’t become very popular. I just wanted my songs to be heard by a wider audience. Still, I was excited.

In August 2013 Geometry Dash was finally released and…nothing happened. Again. Even though Geometry Dash is popular now, it wasn’t an instant success. However, the game started to gain slowly but steadily new players and I did see some growth in my own stream numbers as well, but nothing major. 

In 2014 things started to change. In previous years I had some success with my music, but I had been an unknown artist up till now. Thanks to big streamers like PewDiePie, Geometry Dash started to gain serious awareness in 2014 and that directly translated to my music as well. Back on Track quickly became my most streamed song and I even made my own first Geometry Dash level in the summer of 2014!

However, I think 2015 was the real breakthrough year for me. While I got a lot of popularity in 2014, it was nothing compared to what was coming in next year. Thanks to the constant updates, new levels and polishing of the game, Geometry Dash became a mainstream mobile game in 2015. I was also able to reach 100k YouTube subscribers and Back on Track was streamed almost 4 million times on YouTube in that year alone.

Fast forward to the present day. Even after a decade, Back on Track is still my most streamed and well known song of all time. I’m very happy that I got the opportunity to make this new version of Back on Track and to be featured in NCS in the Geometry Dash album! 

Thank you guys for the massive support. I hope that this song unlocks warm memories from your past and brings you Back on Track!
