The bass line is catchy, but the instrument at the beginning is really generic. I also wasn’t sure what the place of the static in the texture at :16 was. You have a good sense of harmony, although your synths sound pretty unpolished and dry. I think you need to do some more careful equalizing and also add some reverb. I liked the sense of climax into 1:20, and the drop at 1:24 was pretty enjoyable. However, I think the hi-hat is a little overpowering there - that’s a small detail, though. You could really use some reverb to fill out the texture more, although everything does sit pretty nicely in the mix at 1:24. The re-intro at 2:35 was a good idea, the subsequent climax was pretty dragged-out, lasting nearly 2 minutes. This piece is pretty well-structured and smooth-flowing, although in the future I want you to explore methods of creating variety besides just adding and subtracting instruments. Dynamic contrast, phrasing, and the like will help give your piece more emotional drive and shape. I was also a little thrown off by the climax at the end. I was at least expecting it to loop after that. Including some reverb might also help make that ending work better. Overall, it’s a pretty strong piece. I think the minimalism and sound design are the two most pressing issues I have with it. Otherwise, cool piece. Keep at it, TheFantasticZ. :)
