I like the ominous tone at the beginning. The mix is pretty crisp and clean, although I might’ve taken the bass/kick combo on the downbeats down a notch. The rhythmic content is really cool, and the sound design fits the dark mood of the piece really well. There’s a good sense of build into :40, and I like the gritty mid-range bass there too. The texture is pretty minimal and bottom-heavy throughout the piece, and I would’ve liked to see you at least flesh out the composition a bit more. Feels like it ends right as it’s getting to a melodic breakdown or atmospheric bridge or something. Still, the catchy breaks, smooth progression, and production quality are all really impressive here. Keep at it, Rombit! ^_^

06 sec and YES. the 808 comes correct.

However I'm not sure how to feel about your snare. I think I would clip it harder. Perhaps save your kick sample for the drop at 41 sec, and use another until then. It's a bit long for the previous section.

For your second drop, those sidechained synths on the sides, I want more of the 500 to 2400 hz range to be heard on those.

I want just a bit more volume of your sub before 1 minute

Also, by the end of the song I finally realize what you remixed. Excellent job there. Love it.

Thanks for coming out to NGADM!

GOES SO HARD
