I do like it
especially the arps! and the hi-hats at 1:54 kick ass *-*
if you wouldn't have mentioned DK i wouldn't have noticed the parallels, but so i could really think of an underground level like in the mines or something, also because of the atmosphere and the reverbs. parts of it sound like played in a tunnel and the pads do their job quite well. good job. i like it
in addition: loops perfectly
