I like the reverberant percussion at the beginning and the eastern-sounding instruments that come in shortly thereafter. The drums are a little generic, but the piece has a nice underlying tension and a great sense of climax into :57. The drop is pretty good, if a little minimal, and it also drags on for a bit too long imo. I would’ve liked to see some more variation in the harmonic content during the second verse, but the vocals add a nice flavorful touch. The rhythmic content at the second drop was novel, although the drop still sounds a little dry and bare to me. The production quality here is good, although at times the texture needed some more fill. My favorite part of the piece is probably the vocals. They sound so clean and well-acted that I thought they were samples at first. Overall, nice job with the mixing and mastering, sound design, rhythmic components, and thematic elements. The harmonic content could’ve been a bit more fleshed-out, though. Keep at it, JAXXN! :)

Awesome drops and fantastic production!
Synths are heavy as s*$( and the vocals add a cool malevolence to it.

Great job!
Good luck in the contest!
