I left some comments, it’s good, but i think it needs a bit of a harder hitting bass drum behind it. Maybe compress the kick a bit and bump up the volume. Along with that you kind of make a good build up with some glitchy sounding, electronic connectionish, headache bringing electro pads that don’t really work with the song, and I was expecting a sort of drop there. It’s kind of a pseudo drop, so I guess it works out, either way, its a good start, but we both know it needs a fair amount of work.
