I like the quirky atmosphere at the beginning. The mix could be a bit sharper here, though. There’s a lot of reverb in the texture at times, and the piano doesn’t come through very clearly at :15. The drums also seems a bit overly contained in the mix - the snare is too quiet at :22, and the entire kit could use a boost at :55. Otherwise, you might try to create some more room in the EQ for the rhythmic section here if possible. My biggest problem with the piece is the lack of a coherent arrangement, though. It feels very meandering, and the pacing is so fast as to be jarring. I think this could easily be a solid 3-minute-long track with some more repetition and more gradual transitions, but instead it sounds very frantic and thrown-together. Still, there’s a lot of potential here between the refreshing sound design and catchy rhythmic content. I hope you’ll keep working on this. Keep at it, Xetto! ^_^

I really like the bass, groovy song btw

Nice mate, hope u can go far

It goes harder

Very creative decisions in this song, I really like it! The chords were definitely unusual to what I'm used to, but they not only gave the song a lot of character, but also this colorful wide and varied feeling. The bass and percussion were well mixed into the song, and the different rises and layers help keep the song varied and not stagnant. And the guitar sounded awesome too! Great work, keep it up :D

thanks a lot!
