I like the catchy synth riffs at the beginning and the foreboding mood. There’s a good sense of build into :35, and the drop there was catchy and energetic. Aspects of the sound design and arrangement here are pretty generic, and I think the composition needed to be fleshed out a tad more. I wanted to see the melodies at the beginning make a comeback and a second drop to expand on the percussive motifs in the first one. That said, the production quality here is really strong, and I’m also enjoying the sound design, atmosphere, and rhythmic content here. Keep at it, Z3RKON! :)

Sounds like trap married dubstep and had an autistic child. I mean that in a good way.

Structure wise, fantastic. Interesting percussion samples. My only real critique would be to reduce reverb where possible for clarity's sake and see what is going on with that super low sub bass. It sounds like being trapped in a warehouse with the AC on, and I'd love to hear some tonal sine underneath that drop.

Otherwise, slick piece. Really enjoyed it. Thanks for coming out to NGUAC!
