HOLYYYYYYY

I like the quirky atmosphere at the beginning and the bottled-up, frantic percussion. The synth riff at :28 is cute, and I’m enjoying the build-up into 1:03. The drop is catchy, but the mix sounds a bit tight and over-compressed, with not a lot of room in the equalizer for the snare and bass. The arrangement and chord progression are also a bit generic. That said, I like the “B” melody at 2:31, which in turn transitioned back into the second build-up well. The rhythmic content here is strong, and in general I like the sound design too. I would’ve liked to see you vary the drop a bit more the second time around, but that’s more of a missed opportunity than anything else. Overall, it’s a fun and catchy track with some flashy synths and a rich atmosphere at times. Letting the mix breathe a bit more and making the arrangement a bit less predictable would really take this to the next level. Keep at it, TAIKON26! ^_^
