Nice work! sounds a little too distorted tho, it's too compressed, it's not good to put a limiter on the master and crank it up to whatever just to make it louder, everything gets squashed, maybe use maximus and master it well, and you could work on the mix a lot more, eq and change some things to stereo and some to mono, pan stuff, make it all sound nice and crisp, also i don't know if you have a sub, i hear kinda like a sub phasing or just getting louder and then quiet, sounds weak, you should change it to mono so it's at the middle, if you do have a sub, if not add one, sub always has to be in mono, and you could fill it a lot more, put more sounds, in the build up and the drop, the build up sounds kinda empty, it's just an uplifter, a riser, the snare and the arp, better to work it in parts, add more effects, impacts, uplifters, risers, crashes, reverse crashes, percussion, more snares, claps, hats, i think of the build up like something that brings back memories of the drop, but you can see it however you want, if you want you can think of it just like something that builds up energy for the drop but i like to see it think of it like something that brings back memories of the drop, so you have to have things from the drop at the build up, but you don't have a lot of things on the drop either, so you could add the drop chords to the build up and use a filter that goes from low pass to high pass, if you had growls at the drop and something more like virtual riot it would be a lot better, if the drop is better the build up is better too, because you could add those growls to the build up with filters or effects like a massive reverb or stuff, the most important thing to build up energy is filters, low pass and high pass filters, play with them, in a way that at the end of the build up all the sub and bass are removed leaving only the high pass and a little bit of mid, i always like to do the build ups leaving just high pass at the end of the build up, that way the drop hits a lot harder when it comes with the sub, bass and everything, you could add delay and reverb in the build up to to give it even more energy but that's a bit more harder, but it sounds way better tho, you should check the filters for now, overall good track, nice melody, composition and good ambience, i liked the other chords more than the drop chords, which are way too diostorted, and i really liked the downlifter you did with a growl lol, very original, i might try it once
