I like the sharp synth bass at the beginning and the catchy melodies at :13. There’s a good sense of climax into :40, and the energy and drive of the piece really helps keep things engaging. The sound design is a little cliche, especially the drums and lead synth. I also think the strings at 1:10 sound pretty inauthentic, but that section was good for some structural contrast. The airy arpeggios at 1:47 are nice, although I would’ve liked the piano to be a bit more prominent there. The pause at 2:01 was just a tad too long, although I appreciated the variations and additional harmonies at 2:35. Overall, the piece comes together really well, and the blissful mood helps. The ending cuts off a tad suddenly (perhaps you meant to make it loop?), but my main complaint here is probably the lack of originality. Everything from the instruments to the arrangement to the chord progression is largely generic. Still, the emotional quality and danceability are definitely there! Keep at it, 4203. :)
