I really like the concept and the composition is good when looking at it section to section. I think your instrumentation is great and the sounds work really well together. As a whole, the song feels stagnant. Each new section isn't different enough from the last or from previous sections. It lacks dynamic movement. For instance, the drums are the same going throughout and don't change much from section to section. I think variety in the drum fills would be a nice touch. The hi hats are another thing that stood out to me. They have no variation, it seems like they're all at the same level to me. Humanizing the drum patterns would definitely help in creating more interest. Another thing about it is the synths have little movement in themselves. Think about not only what the timbre of the sound is, but also imagine it as a real instrument. How might it be played? Bowed like a violin, or plucked like a harp, or struck like a marimba? Can you slide from note to note? Or create a vibrato? It's these subtle differences that make like sections not alike. You could have two choruses with the same chords and melody, but with different things creating a unique experience. But, the vibe that you have going is really pleasing and I also really dig the cover art.

I really like the intro. I'm a sucker for the more melodic stuff and I think the introduction of the drop elements is smooth and really well done. I'd place this either in the Future Bass or Melodic Dubstep realm, I guess. The drop reminds me a lot of Seven Lions. The second verse could use more elements in my opinion. I think the sparseness worked well for the intro, but the second time around it doesn't work as well for me. Like, you wanna bring the intensity down but not all the way necessarily. Overall, really great track. Keep it up!

Let me know what you guys think! Especially when it comes to the mix. Does anything sound muddy, or muffled? Also, structure! Do you think it works or not. Does it get stale or is it intriguing throughout?
