I like the blissful and cutesy mood at the beginning. I might’ve softened the synth at the beginning in the upper range a tad more, but once the other textural details fill in it doesn’t sound particularly harsh. I love the energy and sound design of this one, and I really like the climax into :52. The rhythmic content is great, and the drop sounds really dynamic and refreshing. The mixing is strong, although you give a lot of room to the kick in the bass range for my tastes. The vocal samples might’ve been a tad overused after a while, and I also don’t think the second drop really pulls its weight in terms of energy, dynamism, and flair compared to the first one. It might’ve given the piece a stronger narrative arc if you had put the first drop second and vice versa. That said, I still really like the sound design, production quality, rhythmic content, and rich textures here. Congratulations on your success in the NGUAC this year, PRGX! ^_^

I think your lead in the intro could stand to be quieter to make your first drop sound more dramatic.

I think this track is wonderfully varied and well organized. Great drops. My only complaint would be the final mix is a bit too sub heavy throughout, as opposed to heavier on drops, and the mix itself is low-mid heavy. Cleaning instruments that are not basses of frequencies below 240 hz with an EQ will help this to a degree and make room for the bass.

Great composition. Thanks for coming out to NGUAC!

This is a good start! So much variation, really good job.

That's super cool !
By any chance, could you send me the "go" chant ? I've been looking for it for quite a while
