i for some weird reason is completely able to withstand a such amazing DnB 8-Bit song. (i love the ending)

Dig the ending breakdown @ 1:18. <3
I'm a sucker for that main driving chunky DX10ish 16-bit Sega bassline

I like the groovy synth bass, quirky effects, and crisp drums at the beginning. The synth lead is really catchy, and I’m enjoying the synth arpeggios at :54 too. The breaks at 1:23 were creative, and I like the transition into the more frantic section at 1:51 too. The tempo automations give this piece a really trippy flair. The sound design, from the screechy transitory effects to the chiptune and 80s-style synths, is top-notch here. I also think the production quality is rather good, and the progression works quite well despite you taking some unconventional turns in the piece (tempo automations, modulations, huge switch-up in the texture at 1:17, etc.). The piece is a bit minimal and bottom-heavy at times, but otherwise really neat. Congratulations on your success in the NGUAC this year, Xehao! ^_^

That's a pretty fun track :)

Love the name haha.

I think there is a bit much sub, leading to the mix feeling full but empty in a sense, and the leads being at points hard to make out. I think your writing however is great, as is your use of samples.

The section at 1:24 is a nice shift in energy. Keeping the same theme but laying back a bit. 1:52 was unexpected but another nice change.

Overall I'm not sure about some of the instrument choices, mostly FX. Personally I would distort that bass you hear in your outro to oblivion. At times your breaks are not as loud as I would like, but I believe this is an illusion on part of so much sub. At 1:58 that problem vanishes and everything sounds balanced.

I think I would like to hear more center on the lower frequencies from 210 and down for your bass instruments.

Beyond that, great work. Thanks for coming out to NGUAC!
