Oh, I'm feeling the olskool techno vibes. Loving pitch bends and wild ass play with overtones in that distorted SFX.

I'd like your bass to be widened a bit on the frequencies above 270 hz, and perhaps pushed with some saturation or harmonics. The kick, snare, and chords are blowing it out of the water, and techno is whether we like it or not, bass music.

The acid at 1:40 is making up for it. More aggression on that. I feel it goes down a bit much volume wise as it's being introduced. A simple low pass on that line with more volume at the more subtle portions would help introduce it better.

I think the hihats throughout have a bit much ring in the upwards of 13k range, and not enough substance around 8k. They also are phasing, I hear, which seems intentional. A wider stereo field may help them sound better, as well as hard compression, tamping down on that ring.

Overall, however, I do really enjoy your sound design. It's both old and familiar, while retaining authenticity.

I think your delayed crash would benefit from a wider pingpong delay and less feedback, or perhaps a lower wet level. It doesn't quite breathe with the track.

I think that would be my chief complaint is a bit of flatness to the stereo image and a laying there sort of feel. However, I feel like we're bridging the gap between techno and house here, and I love the olskool feel. Sounds like underground 90s nightclub/stripclub music. Digging the cyberpunk vibes.

Really enjoyed the piece. Thanks for coming out to NGUAC!
