I like the rhythmic content and vocal samples right off the bat. I might’ve liked to hear more of a proper intro, though, instead of being thrown right into the middle of the action. The vocal samples also quickly get rather repetitive, though, and I’m a little thrown off by the extreme panning of some of the synths and pads. The beats are still really catchy, if a little minimal, and there’s very little variety or harmonic development in this piece. The production quality is probably my favorite element of the piece - all the instruments sound crisp and clear in the mix throughout, although some more mixing effects (filtering, automation, etc.) might’ve helped maintain some interest over time. The sound design is pretty sweet too, and I like the “fade-out fake-out” approach you took to ending the piece (i.e., starts fading out, then stops). Overall, my biggest concern here is the lack of variety and harmonic depth in the composition, but you’re clearly a talented producer with a great sense of rhythm and progression. Keep at it, Psilenth! ^_^
